Image
Just Googled "How many days till Christmas" and OMG 90 days left!! Haven't got a clue what to get for who!! I love Christmas.  I really really really do! I get to see most of my family then and spend the day just insulting each other, eating, opening presents, talking, laughing.. and then the cousins start drinking and all hell breaks loose. Christmas's as a child was so amazing!  Everyone would travel back to JB and on Christmas eve we would all be at Grandma's for dinner..  It was such a kanchiong  time where we would be waiting for cars to arrive.. It was like what time now? why they not yet reach?  and this was back in the day where there were no mobile phones!!! up down up down.. why still not here yet???? 30 seconds later * pin pin pinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn*  YAY!!! WAIT, WHO IS THAT?  OH UNCLE DUNCAN!!!!  UNCLE KEN!!! AUNTY RENE!!! *   runs outside to help bring in presents.. who cares about cousins when ther...

KBAT, HOTS, Studying Then and Now

Woahhhh..  Yesterday's BM paper wasn't easy. It was so KBAT (Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi) / HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) Was this a good move by the Education Ministry? When the kids are so used to being spoon fed information during lessons?  And then there are the really useless don't make sense kinda textbooks that they are currently using. If you take a look at the current textbooks the kids are using, they are nothing like those we used back in our time.  Example, What is Photosynthesis?  In our time, we flipped the textbook and we could find the answer, probably in bold. Now? Flip then whole damn textbook, still cannot locate answer. And this is why there are millions of buku rujukan being sold!!!  When The Eldest is doing her homework, usually History or Science requires taking out textbook, revision books, buku rujukan  and sometimes even checking if what she found was right on the Internet. KSSR is ...

UPSR, Panic and Utter Worry.

As I sit here typing this, all the Year 6 pupils would have started their first paper of the UPSR examination.... I've got students sitting for the exams too and honestly I wonder how their parents are feeling right now... A friend sent me a picture of the kids getting ready and still revising while waiting to be sat in the hall.. that picture made me feel all sorts of things but mostly I felt scared.. scared for the kids... and for their parents.. Update from parents who are currently at school show that PARENTS AND TEACHERS are more anxious than the kids who still seem to be in such a chilled out mood. Hmm.. maybe it's true then.. If you've prepared way ahead of time, there's no point getting all panicky.. but if you've not studied, well.. just pray your best will be good enough? Thank God The Eldest is not taking the UPSR this year coz I overslept today and woke up at 8.00am.. when the first paper starts at 8.15am Some parents ...

A Need To Rant Kinda Post.

I generally dislike Thursdays and yesterday was the worst Thursday in a long while First, The Eldest was still not feeling too well but insisted that she needed to go to school because there were Math and Science class...sniffling all the way to school but when I picked her up.. her nose was clear!  ( Must be all the dust and germs in school helping her to get better)  Came home, sniffle sniffle.  Even with Tea tree and Eucalyptus Oil.  In the Afternoon, the TNB guy finally  came to check things out, but as usual, everyone comes at a bloody wrong time.. the time I am trying to get The Youngest to sleep!  GAH!! Had to leave her and go to the porch... she started wailing her lungs out.. then when I wanted to ask the TNB guy questions, the bloody neighbour uncle kept interrupting me!!!  Why do Men think that no matter what, they are more superior and smarter than women?  You're old, I give you that, you may be wiser...

Hey There! So there was no update yesterday as The Eldest was not feeling well on Tuesday and then jangkit  to me.. was feeling like crap the entire day Then there was the bloody tikus  running around.. But we managed to get it by the end of the day and now it's GONE! Curi la Rise punya makan somemore..   I used his food as bait! The Sister and Brother in Law came over to collect their massive amounts of cat food that was delivered to my place the other day.. coz FREE DELIVERY to Klang! I think it was Monday that we went to Taman Botani in Putrajaya... with 4 packs of bread to feed the fishes.. something wasn't right.. Bread floating in the water.. hmm.. usually these would be snapped up in mere seconds! Went around checking and there was absolutely no sign of any fishes.. What happened??? It used to be like this.. Hang on I found a video on YouTube. See the difference?  There were literally thousands before...

Gosh the weekend went by in a flash didn't it! Saturday, well we didn't do much really.. had lunch then went over to see Maria, as Nenek was leaving for Batu Pahat, and Shah masak Kuey Teow Goreng... Lazed about then decided to take Maria out for dinner.. In Cyberjaya. There's this Nasi Arab  place in Cyberjaya that serves massive portions of food.. Restoran Saba But the parking is horrendous so we saw a sign saying "Parking available for Saba customers".. basement parking.. Went to the basement but before we were fully across the bar, that damn palang came down and hit the car!!!!! ARGH!!!!! See!!!  babi betul The Husband had words with the parking nutters and also the Manager for the Restaurant.. we were then asked to make a police report as they were going to try and claim it from their insurance to pay us back for the damage. So after dinner, off we went to the search for the Sepang Police Station.. I have neve...

Mooncakes, Trust and Friends.

Oh God I love mooncakes and recently The Youngest has taken a liking to them too! I love the pure lotus ones.. can't stand those with the yolk.. The Brother in law however loves the yolk and so The Sister has to get those with the yolk so both of them will puas hati. But the prices!! O.M.G.   Like made from gold  Have you seen the prices? Pure lotus can be priced anywhere from RM15 - RM22 ( depending on which shopping center you are at) I am going to be patient and wait another 10 days then buy buy buy!!  They sell them off at ridiculously cheap prices  on the day and after mooncake festival! I remember getting one for RM5 last year.  Heaven Mooncake is something we (F4) enjoy.. and this is why whenever I see Mooncakes, I think of them. I have this group of friends, we're called F4..  There's Jen, Joy, Thipa and myself.. We met online, in a so called FB mummy group.. basically...

Morons, Eye Rolls and 4D

Okay so not a very sunny day today (as of 8am) and I'm wondering how my bed sheets AND clothes are going to dry!! Did you guys read or watch the video about those two arseholes  who put the cat into the industrial drier and turned it on??? From the video, the cat was just lying there underneath the table.... it didn't even bother them!! Sometimes I really wonder what goes through these kinda people punya otak?  So heartless!!! There are so many different kind of saikos  these days, it's worrying. I know quite a number, but they are the safe kinda saikos. . hahaha.. Joy, Jen, cousins, sis and brother in law, please terasa. They are not those that want to harm others, children or animals. Then there are those who just wanna control the world type of saikos, and these sort of people are the worse to talk to. Cannot win wan I tell you..  It's like when you say "Oh the sky is blue!".. they go "NO, it's pink" and di...

*yawn* Back after 2 days of not blogging but in all honesty there was nothing to blog about! Was a typical long weekend kinda thing spent clearing the house, visiting uncle and cousins, making noise and just lepaking Final exams are around the corner but before that happens, the UPSR exams are in like   11 DAYS! Teachers are panicking, parents are losing sleep and the kids.. well.. they continue being kids! I know a boy, JH who is a really bright boy and scores really well in exams.. people may call him a nerd but he's actually very knowledgeable! In everything! Well, few days back, was going through Instagram and there he was, sitting in the middle of his porch, with a hose, playing with water. Kids will be kids! and sometimes when it's nearing the exams, they are stressed and just want to let it out by doing silly things. The Eldest always needs to go to the arcade and play Time Crisis. I am probably raising a Sniper. this was take...
