The Sick Spammers

Gosh, now I have to figure out how to handle spammers on typepad. They keep on changing their IP's and that makes it more difficult to ban them.

Urghhh..

Stupid Organizers!

OK, this is something I just want to blog about. My husband was furious with the event management today. Well, I was angry too.

My husband came all the way to Dubai for this conference and he's one of the speaker. He had sent his PowerPoint slides 3 weeks ago. They confirmed to him that the ppt file is ok. BUT today, 2 hours before the his presentation, they couldn't open the ppt file.

Here's a basic RULE no.1 when you organize any events especially conferences. Rule of thumb: ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP just in case something or someone screw it up along the way!!! Now, how stupid can this woman be. Mind you she is a Malaysian working with an international event management organizer based in K.L. In fact with a very well known even management.

I was so mad that I felt like screwing her back!! (ok..I'm effected because I used to do events and that I saw my husband worked on his presentation day and night to complete it on time.)

So here I was trying to help him out to see if we can get a back plan within 2 hours. The main problem was hubby's ppt file was done using a MAC and they could open it before this. Suddenly today, 2 hours before the presentation they couldn't open it. Again...why do the checking LAST MINUTE when you arrived few days earlier. Isn't she stupid!! You don't screw up this sort of things especially if you organize an International Conference. Again, ALWAYS have a back up!!

I tried open it up with my laptop and I couldn't open it. So, I did a phone call to my geeky and expert with computer friend "S" and find out if he can help me out. We had an hour to solve the problem. We did file transferring, downloading, unzip it bla bla bla..still can't solve the problem. In the end while hubby is presenting his presentation the using "Dinosaur's technology" my geeky friend solve it but it was wee bit too late. All they needed was to have PPT 2002 version. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe this?

Again...SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE A BACK UP FILE and CHECKED IT ATLEAST YESTERDAY when they still had the time to resolve the problem. I don't know what to say. If I were her boss, I'll FIRE HER!!! Simple rule pun tak boleh pikir!!. It's very embarrassing you know!! How can you do such mistake during an International Conference!! I've done several events during my working days and it's very important to plan ahead all this and have a BACK UP just incase situation like this do happens. *1,000,000 sighs*

Ok..now I can go watch TV in peace!! I'm too tired to do "Mall Hopping" already. (Dah lega lepas geram!)

The Most Stupidest Disciplinary Letter of Mankind....

That I have ever encounter or heard or experience through out my whole life as a student or even as a Graduate student....what ever (lah).

(This entry was supposed to be for yesterday but since I had so much to say and complain..bla bla bla..I've decided to continue blogging till the next day with some rest in between!!) *wide grin*

I must warn all of you that this blog can be considered as one of the longest blog entry that I have ever blogged. If you want to go ahead and read this, you may need to grab a cup of coffee cause you may need it after all. I must warn you also that this entry can be a very "pain in the arse" and controversial entry to some of you. As you can see, obviously I am angry over something. No..it's no longer the "maid issue". I'll give that a rest for now.

This is how it all started.....

Once upon a time far far away in a kingdom of a very well known local university somewhere in the region of Klang Valley, lives a designer(who was then thought to be a healthy) mother of 2 hyper kids. At that time, she was per-suing her Masters in that "university". It took her 3 years to complete her masters coursework. Currently, only her thesis is due for submission but unfortunately few months back, she was diagnosed with Mesothelioma Cancer and refrained her from working on the original topic that was planned earlier (confidential topic which needs a lot of traveling, being mobile from one place to another). She tried to sit down and thought of another topic while she goes through her chemotherapy cycle but somehow it doesn't work for her. She needed more space, time, connection, ideas, creativity and concentration. She had maintained a CGPA of 3.75 through out her 3 years of doing her master's coursework. She worked REALLY hard to earn those grades. It gets harder when she's a mother of 2 hyper kids (toddlers), a wife and a student all at once.

She has never missed paying her tuition fees on time. Her records are clean and always paid her tuition fee in full during registration day. She gets things done accordingly even though there are some hick-ups along the way which is not her fault at all. Just that the whole university administrations are all screwed up!! There was once when she needed to register early as she would be away on a trip. She had to go to 3-5 different buildings to pay her fee (as it was not during the registration week. She needed several signatories from one person to another in order to get her payment and registration done.) Seems that everything is all scattered every where through out the campus. Yeah right...CRAP!! So..they called themselves ISO university but why is it that all the school departments are not "inter-connected" on line or something? Why can't we just go to one place and get things done easily? I thought that being an ISO certified university are supposed to help and make things simpler and easier for the students but instead it gives the students more headaches or problems!! Modern technology...MY FOOT!!

She have always put her family first even though her Master's Degree were also important to her. She wanted the best of both world and she divided her time to make sure that her children gets her love, her time at the same time. She had almost everything planned a head for her and the family.

Then one fine day, on the 23rd of July 2004 at 10:05am, while she was on her way to class, and being dropped off from her car (about less then 20 meters away from the stairs to her class), the university student affair guards or what ever you call them was doing their rounding checking on students who's not with the "student ID tags". The university rules does acknowledge that if you are caught not wearing a student ID tags, you may get a summon or something to that effect. (Ok, what ever (lah)) So, she admits that she was at fault for not wearing the "stupid student ID tag".

The reason was:

1. She was a part time graduate student who only goes for her classes once a week for 3-4 hours session. Usually, based on her student life experience, student ID/tags are kept only when asked by the university security guards bla bla bla... Then again she assume that this particular infamous local university have a different policy. Yeah..CRAP..

2. When explained to the university student affair guards or what ever you call them that she is only on campus once a week, she was only few meters away from her class after being dropped off from her car. So, when she was called by them to show her student ID, her name and her IC no. was taken down. They asked her to wear the student tag and SHE DID. She followed the rules. (Though, it did sound stupid when she first heard it) but rules are rules. Fine..so be it she thought. Even if she is being summoned, she'll just pay the summoned or at least she would get a warning letter for a first timer. (So she thought) Yeah..right...CRAP!!

What she does not understand or ever get it through her thick blurrry scull is that why was she being treated like a young diploma student. (Ok so maybe she looked young!! hahahaha...yeah right...crap!! She has a rear as big as a Volkswagen!!) She has already explained that she is a part time graduate student (over and over again), a mother of 2 who attends her classes for few hours a week. So, she forgot to wear her stupid ID tag on that particular day. Give her the damn warning letter and let her go. Move on... (so she thought).

She remembered about going to class after that incident bitching away about how the graduate students are being treated. (It seems that she was not the only one being stopped by the "authority"). She even discussed it with the professors on that day and they agreed that this was ridiculous and stupid!! ( She and few other graduate student was late for class because they were also stopped by the "authority").

But wait...the story didn't stop here. Surprise! Surprise!!

May 25th 2005, 10 months after the incident at 5:30pm, her husband was checking the mail box at their house and received a letter addressed to her father. "Her father?" She wondered. What does her father have to do with her graduate studies? Her father has nothing to do with her current financial support of her graduate studies. She thought that her student record made it clear to the university that she is married, with 2 kids living separately from her parents.

What the heck!!?? She thought. What did she do? What did she NOT paid? She wondered... OK.. so even if she was in trouble or breaking the university rules, just send the letter to her or her husband!! Well, they are adults anyway. At least she can get some "spanking" from her husband for breaking rules!! Ha hah hah hah hah.. (OK I'm exaggerating there abit!) Sorry, I just can't help the stupidity of the whole incident. I mean, helloooo... are they sleeping or what??? ISO certified MY FOOT!! (again).

OK..so what was the content of the letter that got her furious to the maximum?

She is aware that some of the blog readers are her supervisors, lecturers and friends who graduated from that particular university. But honestly, she has had it up to her nose with all this nonsense. The whole process that she needs to go through to get things done before this was just too extremely troublesome. Maybe it's just a cultural shock for her because she has never gone through such nonsense during her student life before this. The mentality hmm..but as her husband would always say..that's the "Malaysia Boleh" attitude!! Grrr......

The content of the letter: "Warning Memo" addressed to her father saying that:

1. The student disciplinary board has sent a letter requesting her to attend a student hearing for her actions of NOT WEARING A STUDENT TAG on the 23rd July 2004 at the faculty. ( The fact is that the father and her never received any letter regarding that matter.)

2. The hearing was set on the 7th of February 2005. If she failed to turn up for the "disciplinary student hearing" on that day without any reason, a disciplinary action will be taken against her where she can be "suspended" from continuing her "graduate degree".

3. She's been asked to set a new date for the "disciplinary student hearing". Dateline given: 30th June 2005. (Huh? What the heck? Over a student tag issue?)

My comment for the above issue: THIS IS THE MOST STUPIDEST DISCIPLINARY ACTION DONE BY A LOCAL UNIVERSITY!! What a shame!! Over "a student tag/ID issue"? Malaysia Boleh!! Yes..good, very good in deed. An issue of a student not wearing her student ID tag is important than the education system itself. Bravo!! Superb!! Brilliant!!

When she read the content of that stupid letter from the university, she and her husband was furious. Who wouldn't be! Over a student ID/tag issue? 

She and her husband decided that this matter needs to be sorted out and argued because it's ridiculous stupid. So, she and her husband replied the stupid letter and carbon copied to relevant people from the faculty that she's enrolled in.

The thing that she finds really pethatic is that, on the 24th of February 2005, she sent a letter to the relevent people in her faculty to asked for an exemption as she couldn't complete her thesis. The duration of exemption is uncertain as she is in the process of going through her chemotheraphy. She thought by then, the university has acknowledge her condition or situation and that the record will be self explainatory. Yeah! Right!!...CRAP!! Talked about ISO certified university!! ICT (lah)...What ever!!!... When are they going to make all the department start talking to each other huh????

Anyway, her arguement in respond to the stupid letter is as below:

1. She was diagnosed on the 3rd of February 2005. No way she could have made it for the stupid student disciplinary hearing on the 7th February 2005. She was in the hospital thinking more about her health by then.

2. She won't know the duration of how long will all the treatment takes place. The doctor estimate that it could take from 6 months to a year. Therefore, even if she has to set a new date to attend that stupid student disciplinary hearing, she won't be able to do so.

3. She should have been given a warning letter instead of a disciplinary hearing. Even if it's a summon, she will pay for it. This was the first time that she got caught for not wearing her student ID/tag and she gets a memo warning to attend a stupid disciplinary hearing? *DUH* Ehhh how much more stupid can they get (lah)?

CONCLUSION: Notice how many times of the word "stupid" been mentioned in this entry!! Hmm ENOUGH SAID!!

Well, below are extract of the letter sent to the university. It's translated in B.M.

Di sini ingin saya membuat bantahan terhadap pertuduhan yang telah di bawa kepada saya:

1.                   Kaedah 23 (2) menyebut bahawa pelajar  hendaklah ada Kad Pelajar dalam miliknya pada setiap masa di dalam Kampus dan mengemukakannya apabila dikehendaki oleh seseorang yang berkuasa.   Hujah saya:  Kad Pelajar saya adalah di dalam milik saya iaitu di dalam beg tangan saya.  Setelah diminta oleh pegawai sekuriti, saya telah menunjukkan kad pelajar saya kepada pegawai berkenaan.

2.                   Kaedah 23 (3) menyebut bahawa pelajar hendaklah memakai kad pelajarnya dengan apa-apa cara, pada bila-bila peristiwa dan pada bila-bila masa sebagaimana diarahkan oleh Pegawai Hal-Ehwal Pelajar.  Hujah saya:  Saya akur dengan arahan pegawai sekuriti berkenaan dan telah memakai kad pelajar sebaik sahaja saya ditegur.

3.                   Sekiranya pihak tuan masih mendapati bahawa perbuatan saya di atas adalah satu “kesalahan”, ingin saya membawa perhatian tuan bahawa saya tidak mempunyai apa-apa rekod disiplin mahupun apa-apa amaran lisan atau bertulis berhubung pertuduhan tidak membawa/memakai kad pelajar atau apa-apa rekod disiplin lain oleh pihak universiti.

4.                   Di dalam mana-mana “kesalahan” kecil sebegini, prinsip keadilan yang saksama memerlukan tindakan disiplin yang berkala dan secara berfasa.  Umpamanya, semasa di bangku sekolah, sekiranya saya terlupa memakai tag nama, saya akan diberi nasihat dan amaran oleh pengawas sekolah.  Sekiranya saya masih “terlupa”, amaran kedua akan diberikan dan sekiranya saya masih degil, amaran terakhir akan dikenakan ke atas saya.  Kedegilan yang berterusan barulah akan berakhir dengan tindakan disiplin oleh guru displin.  Tindakan yang sama digunapakai oleh syarikat-syarikat yang pernah saya berkhidmat di mana perbicaraan dalaman adalah langkah terakhir setelah amaran demi amaran tidak diendahkan oleh pekerja.  Di dalam hal ini, perbicaraan terus dikenakan terhadap saya sungguhpun saya tidak pernah ada rekod masaalah disiplin, saya membawa kad pelajar pada hari yang dituduh tersebut dan memakainya apabila diperintahkan.

5.                   Rekod pengajian saya membuktikan bahawa saya mempunyai rekod pengajian yang baik (CGPA secara purata 3.75), rekod pembayaran yuran yang bersih dan tepat pada waktu serta tidak pernah menimbulkan apa-apa masalah kepada pihak Universiti. 

Conversations with the (new) maid

Mobilemom: Go clean up this bowl (of my daughter's half eaten rice)

New Maid: You want me to bring the (half eaten rice) up to your room maam?

Mobilemom: Don't bring down the juice, Master wants to drink it.

New Maid: You want me to bring down the juice maam.

Male Nurse: Go take my sports bag?

New Maid - ran up the stairs- then come down half way down the stairs and looked at me with a blank face.

Male Nurse: GO TAKE MY SPORTS BAG!!!

Mobilemom - prepared 4 sets of milk powder to bring out: Go get the milk bottles.

Maid - brought only 2 bottles

Male Nurse and Mobilemom: @#@$@@!!@##$##%@!!!!!

Enough said.  God help us.

Letting It All Out...

Why is it some people are so ignorant and plain silly "stewpit fool!" for not using their brains. Something which is so obvious and yet they don't see it!! *double sigh*

No..it's no longer the "maid issue"!! I just want to let out my anger to some people who are so damn ignorant. WTF!!

Ahhh....that feels so much better. I finally got it out of my chest!! Breathe MOBILEMOM breathe!! hahaha...Now I sound like I'm going through labour!!! :P~~

Tonight, we had dinner outside. (Well, few hours ago actually).I had no choice but to give in to my husband's crave of "aromatic crispy daffy duck!" or what ever they call it. I sound like a broken record throught out the whole one hour "quacking" away. Hubby's best friends tried to convert me to eat or at least taste the "daffy duck" but NO!!... no one will ever convert me into eating a "duck". No way hon. No way people!! Read my lips...oh wait..I mean read this line.."NO WAY!!"...

So, they (hubby and his best friends) managed to convert a nine year old and one and half year old kid/toddler to eat a "duck". No way buddy, you people ain't converting this almost mid 30 year old woman into eating a "duck!!". It's not happening now or tomorrow or in the future. Dream on people!! :P~~

Heh heh heh..hon, maybe you can try and ask the doctor if they also have an appetite pill that makes a person crave for a "duck" and "mamak" food. NOT!!! :P~~~~

Anyway, we had fun during dinner tonight. Teasing and whining away about the "duck"! That poor "daffy duck" got fried tonight.

Ok, I'm off... I had a full day today (I mean yesterday). I'm so pooooffff!! It's almost 1am and I'm still blogging! What am I thinking??!! Go to sleep MOBILEMOM!!

p.s

Happy Teachers Day to all the teachers in the world...

To my lectures, supervisor, my friends who are teachers...Happy Teachers Day..

Maid Issues..(Here we go again..)

I got so angry with my new maid who's going to replace my current maid who'll be going back for a month this Saturday. She made a mistake with one of my hubby's stuff which made hubby wore my nephew's stuff instead. He was getting ready to go to gym. Luckily hubby realized the mistake that she made. Hubby told her off and I thought that was it.

No... she (the new maid) went into my parent's room (which she is not supposed to when my children is still a sleep!) looking for my current maid and screamed when my hubby called her back. She (the new maid) woke my son up and he was shocked. He cried his lungs out. Then my daughter woke up end up both crying. That got me so angry!! For a fact:

#1. She is NOT supposed to go inside my parents room.

#2. She woke the kids up when it's not time to wake them up.

#3. If she(the new maid) want to ask my current maid what ever issues, she could wait till later but NOOOOO...she(the new maid) had to find her(the current maid) and ask there and then.

#4. She scare off the kids early in the mornings. (The kids are not close to the new maid.)

#5. She made me and hubby angry very early in the mornings. (As for me..pantang pagi pagi marah!) (I hate getting angry very early in the mornings) Ggrrr.....

#6. I'm not supposed to get angry. I'm supposed to control my anger and be calm about the whole situation and let my hubby handle the maid issues since he took over few months back. But I just can't help it. She (the new maid) made me so angry with her for scaring off the kids early in the morning with her stupid scream!! In the first place, why does she have to scream???? *DUH* I don't get it!! GGggrrr....

Well, some of you may think is a small matter. Actually it is. I do admit it. But she (the new maid) got me so angry because of what she did and she is NOT supposed to do what she did. And yet she (the new maid) still do it. She have been here for the past 2 months and should already know by now the "Do's and Don't's" yet she still do it. *sigh* Arghhhh... OK!..ok!..calm down mobilemom...not worth to get angry over some small matter. Calm down....take a deep breath...breathe mobilemom...breathe...breathe..

OK...I need to have my breakfast, cook for my kids, take my shower and off to our house for spring cleaning!!!...

Chronic Maid Problem

Today I went to work with a bad sorethoat.  This is not due to a bacteria infection, bronchitis, flu or other such disease.  The reason - pure and simple - the inefficiencies of the new maid.  Of course, I had to shout at her at the top of my lungs.  Otherwise, for sure she would have got a shoe print on her head instead.

Better verbal abuse than physical abuse right? I don't think so - as the best solution is not to have any abuse at all.  The best solution is for this sort of maids never to arrive at our shores.  I could not comprehend for the life of me how a maid who completed only one year of schooling can arrive in this country.  A maid who cannot read or write.  A maid who cannot recite the alphabet pass the letter "G".  Mind you, even if she could recite "G", there was one occasion where I asked her to press "G" in the lift but instead she just looked at the lift panel with a horrendously blank face. 

Today was my final straw.  How could someone put KIWI on my shoes and then not even attempt to brush or polish them?  How can someone be completely blank not to think that KIWI may be transferred to my socks and  pants?  To prove a point, I threw the shoes near her feet and the KIWI tainted our bedroom floor black.  Perhaps, after this she would finally understand. 

Well, I don't think so!

Stress Related Issues...

19. Setting or tuning my mind for my next chemo treatment at the end of each cycles...*sigh*

22. People giving me bad advice, negative auras and sympathetic instead of encouragement...

Ok...a friend of mine suggested that I list down my "reason of stress" situation and here they are. Though I must admit there's more to this list but it's just too pathetic!! Therefore I have decided to just list down the ones that is stress related. *sigh*

Grumble! Grumble! Grumble! Part (II)

*Triple Sigh* Another day of grumbling over home affair issues.

I woke up feeling fresh and positive this morning. It felt good. Refreshing, stress free and relaxed. That's the suppliments that I need in the mornings to start my day. Ahh nice...until....another incident happened...... *jeng jeng jeng*....

Hubby was just about to leave for work when I noticed that his Bally shoes looked dirty and no longer shinny as it used to be. I took a good look at it and saw what I fear most. If I didn't take a second look at the shoes this morning, my husband would be going to work with a dirty full of kiwi wax shoes stuck on his socks and pants through out the whole day. I'm not going to say how much the shoes costs. As it is..we're talking about Bally and hubby is the type of person who does'nt buy shoes often. He buys only when he goes on overseas trips and that is only if I persuade him to buy one for himself. He will wear that shoes for years and years till it can't be used anymore. That's my husband and I love him dearly.

I remember when he bought himself that Bally shoes. We were in Paris and it was raining. Both his socks got wet because the sole of the shoes was in a very bad bad shape. It was high time he needed to get a new shoes. Actually, I persuaded him to get a new pair before that when we were in London. But he insisted it was still OK with the shoes. Well, I supposed when his socks got really wet, he finally gave up and decided to find a new pair. We bought that shoes in Galleria Paris. It was difficult to find a nice pair that fits him perfectly. It looked nice on him. Thank God they had his size, we bought it and he wore it straight away. What happened to the old shoes? In a thrash-can somewhere in Paris.....history....

Anyway...gosshh...she's been thought!! She's been thought!! Why is she so lazy!!?? Arghhhh!!!...Why doesn't she has that initiative and effort to learn the ways and means of our needs. Why the shortcut? Why? Why? What's so difficult about learning the threads of our ways? Could it be of our high expectations? I don't think so. A simple thing being thought and she goes haywire!!

How did she go through the exams before she came in here? She does'nt even understand the word "bulat" (round). She can't read or write. She can't tell the difference between "hot boiling water" and "warm water". How did she get through the exams at the agency in her country? How? I don't get it. I don't get it at all.

Please don't get me wrong. I understand her needs to earn money by coming here. She comes from the rural area. A farmer family background. She left her home to come here so that she can earn a decent living as a maid and bring home the money for more comfort. But she needs to help her self first before we can even help her. But she has no initiative. I don't understand. I know, give her time and we are actually giving her all the space but there is NO initiative or effort of learning. What the h***!!...

We want to help her. That's why we teach her all the ways of doing work in our house. But she doesn't even bother to have that effort or initiative. That is ONE thing I can't tolerate. I want to help her but she's not helping herself. Giving up and asking her husband to sell off her land so that she can go back. What the h***!! We were told that her husband told her not to come back. He asked her to work so that she can bring home some money. But she's giving up. She doesn't think of her family back home. That's something I don't understand. Of all the process that she went through to get here and now..she just gone haywire....wow...I'm speechless...

That's it, we're sending her back to the agency for a month training once all the paperwork for my old maid has settled. Oh..I give up!! I give up! I'm shutting off my brain cells from thinking about maid issues. I've had it!! (Yet I'm still complaining and blogging about it!) Heh heh heh... (lepas geram!!) Atleast I feel better after that!! :P

Enough of this nonsense for me.... *shutting off mode ON*

Grumble! Grumble! Grumble!

Hah! I thought today would be a good day for me but I end up grumbling my way through the hospital because of my new maid! Damn it! What a way to ruin my mood this morning!!

OK woman, so what happen? You asked?

Well, hubby was getting ready while I was having my breakfast in bed. He showed me a spot on his "favorite M&S shirt" (happens to be my favorite one too cause I bought that for him.) It was a dirty spot that is visible to everyone's eyes. At that time, we didn't noticed another spot that was even more "eye sore"!! EEeiiiiiikkkk!!!! And he had an important meeting to attend to after my hospital trip.

So since we had to leave early, I rushed to the toilet and took my shower. Then I heard hubby said "She used the "CLOROX"!!! I went.."What? What the h***!!" Now, by then I was already pisst off with the whole situation. I always thought all my maids not to use Clorox! Or infact NEVER use Clorox!! *double sigh*

As soon as I finished my shower, I called in my "old maid" and asked her if she had thought the "new maid" how to wash our clothes the way we had thought her before this. And why was she using "CLOROX" to wash some of our clothes!! It's like a BIG NO!NO! Especially my husband's working clothes!!! *sigh* I am that particular when it comes to husband's well being and his appearance for work!! (Kenalah jaga!) Have to (lah!) It's a wife's responsibility to make sure that everything looks good for him.

My "old maid" had explained and thought the "new maid" how things should be done. But because of the new maid's "silly stupidity, ignorance and no initiative to learn", the whole thing got me so pisst off!! I'm talking about a favorite shirt that cost half of their (the maids) monthly pay. It's a lot of money to start off. All ruin!! I almost cried cause I love that shirt so much. I love how it looked on my husband every time he wears that shirt. How much confidence he portray in that shirt just makes me feel good. And now all ruin because of "CLOROX"!!!

All that commotion in the morning caused to stir up my mood swings. My mental state of being positive and strong will power to face my daily chores or routine becomes less effective. As a result, I had another bad headache!! BUMMERRR!!!! It's been off and on since I left for the hospital after that and till now.

So, I have been channeling my thoughts by doing some readings instead. Yet the headaches are still there though!!.Arghhh!!! This "maid issues" is really giving me alot of headache and I need to "shut if off" from my head!!.Why bother!! I keep telling myself. Give it sometime (I thought) maybe she will learn. But DUH!! No initiative to even observe and learn. Oyy, that's bad maaann. Maybe I should send her back to the agency to be re-train for a whole month!!! Anyway, my husband has taken all the burden off me on this "maid issue" but as a wife, you still feel the responsible to make sure that everything is a OK! You know what I mean.

So, really folks..do advice me "HOW DO I JUST SHUT IT OFF?" Do you have any advice that would probably help me shut off from things which are not stress related and all!! I need to be in a "STRESS FREE ENVIRONMENT!!" Yes, take a vacation right!! NOT!!...Still on the chemo treatment..maybe 1-2 cycles to go. Hmmm... maybe I should go out shopping next week!! heh heh heh...that would be nice!! ;P

Then again, what I need is A NEW GADGET TOY TO PLAY WITH!!!! When is that Nokia 6680 coming out (lah!!). Need to fiddle and play with something fun which can excite me!! Bwahahahahaha!!! MobileMom at her best...is when she gets to play with a new toy, or she gets to go shopping and lavish her self with something she like!! Wooohoooooo!!!!.....(kopak lah akunye savings macam ni!!) There goes my savings!!! ;)
