Change in attitude towards School

Gone were the days when he’ll sulk when we sent him to school.  During his PG1 days, whenever we asked him :”Do you wanna go to school?”  He’ll shake his head.  He’ll be quite unwilling to let go of us at the door of the school.  We observed, we asked questions, but everything seems alright.  [...]

His Own Language

It’s funny how kids will somehow come out with their own way of structuring a question.  It’s even funnier how the parents are able to interpret the meaning correctly, even though the sentences don’t make any sense.  Don’t believe?  Let’s try.  I’ll give you a scenerio below and u all guess what Declan’s trying to [...]

Where did the letter go?

Down the shredder.  In one year’s time, if things remain status quo the letter will be resurrected.  This time, it’s not one but 3.  I’ve struck a gentlemen agreement with my manager.  In 1 year’s time, if things don’t change, I’ll go, he’ll go plus another girl will go, minimally.
I’ve been given alot of TLC ever [...]

In Low Spirit Part 2

I’m still not feeling good… 
After he received my letter, my immediate manager wanted to talk to me about it.  What’s the point.  I’ve talked to him before about my frustration over the bad handing over of an ex-colleague.  Saying that it was a bad handing over was an understatement, frankly, there wasn’t any phyiscal handing over.  She [...]

I decided to leave office early today and get my messy tresses tidy up.  The hairdresser did really tidy up my hair but it got a little too neat… She gave me a straight full bang which makes me look like a goondoo.  Both of us had a good time laughing while looking at my [...]
