The taming of the shrew (A belated posting from Saturday morning)
Many a times, I feel lucky that I am the type of person who seldom feel bored in life. Ya la, I cant remember the last time I feel bored at all!
But the only thing I feel now is dissapointment, hurt and confused. Surprisingly there is no RAGE. Just a wee bit partial confusion of my actions will hurt further. Normally something like this turns out to be destructive, just like what happened in January 2004. I think I've changed. I've managed that. I've grown into a fine woman!!
What else can be done now. I dont have the answer to what's going on also! What I have done so far is sms two of my friends on Saturday morning just to inform them of something that they know already anyway.
What else can also be done is to get COACH SUNGLASSES yang kaler maroon tu, yipieeee.......!
Happy 2nd birthday to Mish'al and Wawa Saturday, January 08, 2005
The children's Star Redemption system / A brief "Kejadian Ghetto" ...hehe
The PS2. When me and my ex-husband Hk were still an item,
we were real game freaks. We kinda had everything from
Sega to Playstation to PS2. We were hooked on Tomb Raider,
Gran Turismo, Need for Speed (asyik berangan beli kereta only!),
the likes. When PS2 came, by that time we first got it was in year
2001 when it was still selling at RM1300 when it first came out.
By then, Tomb Raider had been upgraded as well.
Of course, the Sims came along.
Its no surprise that our children are game freaks as well.
Of course as parents they had to be controlled.
Sometimes they do drive us up the wall when
they become a wee bit degil! grrrrrr...........
Recently some system have been worked out for them.
Which is the Star Redemption system. This is based on
Star earnings (draw a star on their Drawing Board
whenever they earn it) where for every 5 stars, they
get to redeem one hour of PS2 session. This is to
encourage discipline as well for them to gain reward.
Some motivation there eh, the PS2. The things they do
for "a living" (to earn stars) are basically studies
of course, finish a few pages of sums with minimal
mistakes or no mistakes at all, do some comprehension,
help with dishes, help with laundry and with chores
around the house. This way, Mama/Mummy/Papa/Daddy
is happy and so are they (when they redeem their
5-stars for the hour-long of game session). Lately,
independence had been shown between them, tolerance,
less fighting/arguing and more discipline and the
stars are not redeemed immediatey sometimes. They tend
to just do it not for that sake! I'm so proud of
these babies o'mine.

These people normally updates Dana on their progress
as well and for today, that's how the email goes.
Heheh... ok, here's the deal.
I have always reminded my boy Daniel, if the other
kids are being rough and tough, please either:
1) tell teacher
or
2) defend yourself
or
3) balas balik.
Huhuu.. looks like he prefers the latter.
I reckon it wasnt serious because he said right after that he
and the boy lined-up together after recess and are friends again.
Why la kids nowadays are so kasar when they play
around with each other?. hmmm.....

While everybody is busy for 2nd half of the day today...
I felt my time stopped at a speedy halt when I discovered............
www.thephotoz.com (sila lihat gambar contoh ini)
Actually, I was mesmerized.
For the lovers of creative photography kindly take note. Me and Feryal discovered Mr Zung at Nina's wedding reception here:
when he was there to take shots of the wedding. I noticed him all along taking mood shots, stealing candid laughters of happy faces and objects, creating subject out of almost everything around him. Just like the way my sister Dels always do.
This is one photographer I seriously respect habis giler because his photography is FAAAAAAAR from those kind of pictures where the bride and groom take pictures pegang2 on the bed in the bedroom, posing with one hand on shoulder, bla bla bla.. No, never would you find his work like that.
I totally love his work and the way he composed angles.. damn cantik!!! (as u all can see at the link above), he gave his number to us and this link and Feryal already thought of a special function sometime in the near future to hire them for photographs. *wink*. I also thought like that la. Huhuuu....
Nina girl... all my prayers to you and Amri for a wonderful life ahead. The journey is just beginning.
