Much ado about nothing

Actually I am just amazed at the way some Sillyporeans think. When shit hits the fan, someone must be blamed. Someone must take the fall. Take for example, if lets say a company is about to close down, the staff will scream bloody murder and ask what the company can do for them, it is not the other way around where we ask, how can we help to keep the company afloat.

Talking about floating, it is such a joke when everyone has to come in with a word on the recent floods.... We have been having floods all our lives.... Remember Paya Lebar??? It is low lying and is prone to flooding... So many cars got stuck there. Yet it is only when Orchard Road and other seemingly pristine places get flooded that people want heads to roll. Well.... FYI... with global warming, the sea levels will rise and guess what??? Sillypore will be under water anyway.... We are actually pretty lucky in the sense that we do not have any hurricanes, earthquakes and or other natural disasters.... So it is like... even in a black out... people will call the police... Hey.. I have been to earthquake prone places and I can say that it is an earth shaking experience.. hehehehe

So the big thing is not whose head will roll, but what can we do to get things better? That is the main thing. Just like a deer on a road staring at an oncoming car... Will it just stand there and go... "oh shit car coming!!!"? or try to avoid and or run away.... Haizzzzz... sometimes.... they jus have their heads stuck up really wierd places....

Life and Death

I've been having bad migrains for the past few days. I have them once in a while... like every few months and when it happens, I can't really do anything about it. But then the stakes are also much higher now with my monster and family depending on me. A sudden fear actually struck me that maybe my brain tumours came back though both were benign. What will happen if something bad came back? A lot of times, people will ask me what will happen to my family or what will they do? But for me, I am a practical guy. I do not want to burden them. I will want to go as soon as I can to spare them any more pain. Pain from seeing me suffer and having to pay to see my life extended. Maybe it is just me.

But that is life and that is death. Monster came into my room this morning and was looking for me.... She is really noisy when she crawls, so I know she is coming in. Sometimes she will also make noise of excitment and we know that she is wanting to play. In many ways, I look back and thank god and all above for giving me this opportunity to have such a period of happiness. I can and will go happy.

For me, I have no fear for death and as mentioned, I have seen death so many times. I am not afraid of the beyond, be it in hell or be it in a place where there is nothing. It is a new existence. I guess that is just me. But seriously folks, just be happy with what you have and be satisfied. I am truly happy and satisfied now.

"Mommy, Daddy are we rich?"

That was a topic of conversation on the news lately. What will you do if your child throws a tantrum and asks for the latest Iphone? Or the smallest laptop? What happens if they ask why are we driving only 1 car or live in a HDB?

My answer to them will be that we are bloody poor!!! We do not have anything and if they want something just because it is cool or because they are being laughed at for not having it. Just like my monster now, she wears hand me downs and as much as possible, we do not spend too much on her. We can buy her all kinds of games and all kinds of toys... But knowing her, she will only get tired of it in a short while. Do I feel any worse off not having a condo? Do I feel any lower than other Sillyporeans? No I do not think so. I am able to afford what I can afford, give what I can give and love where I can love. I can say that it is the intrinsics that makes us rich and not the material things. I go home and everyone is happy. We yap away through the day and talk about everything. Monster will grow up in a well mannered and loving home and family. That is one thing no money can buy.

She will learn to be a good person and also be a good person. Are we rich? Yes we are the richest family around if that is the case. Happiness and completeness is all that is important. Material things??? It will all fade away.

And that is why my dear readers, you will find that I am a very different type of guy.

Tiring times... tired man

Have not had much time to blog these few days because work is really getting busy and at the same time, the moment I step home, I turn into loving hubby and daddy.... Hey... wait...isn't that supposed to be the way??

Anyways, so I will spend a bit of time doing my daily prayers and then helping wife to look after the baby. On weekends, I will try to do as much cleaning as I can, from the washing of toilets and floors to bringing them out for meals and so on... Then come back and I will try to prepare meals for the family. Why? Because I want my wife to be able to have some rest. She will not need to worry about the household things and also does not need to cook and is able to get at least a bit more rest.

For me, resting will be done when I am dead and am resting for eternity. Hehehehe

They will go back on Aug the 10th on and should come back in October. Wifey will have to handle the baby on her own, but she will also go back to my in-laws for a while and I guess it will be a change for her and the baby too. My in-laws have not seen baby for over a year already. I guess these are things we all have to sacrifice and that is what being human is all about. It is about hope, striving and also making sacrifices. Of course everyone wants to have a good life and no worries, but this is not really practical I guess.

Well, that's all for now... Byeeesssss
