Something from the mind of an unpredictable-woman-mommy-wife who wish she could eat anything and everything and still never ever gain weight.
Now thinking of moving to another country..
Too much political drama here!!
Well, not that I care about it.. but still..
Yes, this is the right one, my dear fellow parents!
Well, that's what I seriously am thinking because there's one maths exercise in the text book using visuals of this type of abacus.
And wow, this one is really hard to find!
I mean hard to find in excellent condition as most of them are already broken!
This abacus was about hmm..I forgot the exact price, but around RM15 at MPH and made of such cheap lousy wood!
Please let me know if any of you managed to find one with good quality.
For now, we'll just have to settle with this.
And at the same time, kinda annoyed with the internet world.
This thing has been bugging me.
And getting on my nerves to be exact.
How the hell am I to ever become a successful business-woman, if I'm not even happy with my own business?
No, don't get me wrong.
I don't have any type of business to be exact, yet.
It's just me selling off MY own pre-loved stuffs online.
But the question is, I am not happy with the sales!
I've lowered down the price.
I've given discounts.
But these people keep asking for lower price and sent me emails describing their interest, bla bla bla.. and pushing for a few bucks less, then a hundred more lesser, and then bam - in installments???
Ohhh come on!
I dare to say, I stand by every single thing that I have sold (and am selling).
I'm not selling any low-down-abused stuffs here.
I'm talking fabulous, hardly used, looks like a brand new deal!
Shit.
I hate being nasty.
I mean, no, I am not nasty.
I'm soft hearted person and I will respond to every email with kindness and respect.
But I have limits.
So when I say price has been lowered, then that is final.
It's my stuffs, I can sell it anyway I want to.
And no, I am not desperate for money, so, I will not go that low to sell.
Coz if I want money that bad, I'd take my stuff to uptown and sell it there straight away for immediate cash!
Why would I bother with such emotional hassle dealing online with uncertain people?
I know that customers always right, but, if the price bugs you so much, hey, go find something else that's within your range ok!
Sorry everybody for the ramblings.
I just need to get it out of my system.
And hope you out there doing business might be able to share me some tips to handle this matter in a professional way.
Funny that I only get this "attitude" from Malaysian.. huh..
I'm in !!
The Hana Tajima fever !
Yes, you heard it.
I've been on her blog the whole night and watching all youtubes by her.
It's just soooo amazing!
I mean, it's no big deal really, just another way of hijab but she did it beautifully.
How? Of course, the major reason is that she herself is flawlessly gorgeous!
So, try your hardest, coz you ain't gonna look like her, even if you do have the slightest freckles!
Yup, as soon as it was mentioned yesterday that the standard one students will be using the Abacus in Maths, here's mommy rushing out to buy one this very instant!
Wooden Abacus , RM 59.95 @ Parkson.
Now mommy need to surf the net and learn how to use it!
At this moment, you must be relaxing at home with family or out watching movies or window shopping or sleeping perhaps.
But not me.
We're at Amin's school for the briefing on the government newly introduced curriculum module for the primary school.
So this is our first ever parents-teacher meet up in discussion about the children education standard.
Coincidentally, Amin is up in his classroom because school is as normal today in replacement of the upcoming Chinese New Year week long holiday.
Anyway, just to highlight, the latest revision on education concept was done by the gov in year 2003, which in short, was to include coverage in human communication, positive development and human relation to nature and spiritual.
This newly introduced concept is to include three more major module which are personality growth, physical and intellectual development, and on top of it all is the science & technology involvement.
The main point of the day is that the marking scheme for the main primary school examination, the UPSR will be based on 60% - 40% segregation whereby the 60% is the official-on-paper-examination marks, and the other 40% is to come from on-school-activities.
Yup, no more the traditional 100% test-paper-based-results.
Interesting enough that the teacher said that they're gonna include the science and technology learning on top of all subjects.
Looking forward to see that done.
But for now, me looking at boring Arif and sleeping hubby! LOL
(IF I DIE YOUNG by THE BAND PERRY)
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh oh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I’ve never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I've been singin’
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
Throughout this week, I'm hooked with this song.
Simply because hubby made this his ringtone.
But I have to admit, she has the most beautiful voice, and this is indeed the most soothing song that I've heard in a long time! (after my all time favourite, Terrified, of course!)
