The lunatic rantings of a middle aged young guy

Haaaa... I am tired

You will have to be patient with me because I was travelling a lot lately. I was in Europe as I mentioned in my previous post and was supposed to be in KL, but fortunately it was cancelled almost at the last minute and then I went to Myanmar.... Yea right.... The new Burma..... You cannot use your credit card there at all!!! And the exchange rate for the USD has 3 rates.... The gahmen one.... where the rate is 1USD to 7kyats.... then there is the trade rate which hotels use, which is 1USD to 700 and then the black market one... It is a wierd country, which is so rich and beautiful and yet at the same time, it is so backward.





Well anyway... I was only there for 3 days and that was almost the max I could stay there. I am not an elitist, but I really do value communications and was kinda lost without my wife and kid and couldn't hear from them which made things so much more unbearable.





In some way, I am really tired of flying around and also being away from the family. Every good bye is painful and every moment away from my family is hard. Haizzz... but we all gotta put the bacon on the table and be able to enjoy the fruits of our labour... so no choice.

Its been a long time

I jus got back from quite a long trip of almost 2 weeks in Europe, being in Stockholm, Fribourg and Geneva.... Eating salads with the E-coli problems being a worry and a lot of potatoes and meat.... I am Asian... so I prefer my rice and soya sauce... hehehehehehe

The energizer also came back from Scotland... sick as a donkey with the flu and as always complaining about how poor thing she is. But she is getting from strange to stranger... She all of a sudden said that I must not sell the gold that I have in some umentionable places because they are her wedding items.... Yea right... who wants to touch them and also because they are part of the fengshui of my home... Why wud I want to sell them off???? Maybe she is trying to say that she does not have enough money but then hey.... she just has to learn not to spend so much... She claims that she is not spending... But hell... she is still playing mahjong at least once a week and with her concentration span... I do not think that she will be able to win very much... losing is much more of a possibility.

Anyways, wife and daughter are now officially PR of our little red dot and my second kid, if it is a son will have to do NS..... I seriously have nothing against it.... It will only be 2 years and also it has become so soft that I am sure that it will be a breeze... In fact, I think that being at my home will be more of a challenge as I run a very tight ship and am very fierce and strict... No nonsense from my kids and they will do what we want them to do. No deals and horse trades and or trinkets to make them follow..... Even now, my monster is not really allowed to drink soft drinks and or to take sweets and so on... On the odd time, I may allow her to enjoy chocolate by way of cakes and so on... but she is not allowed to take chocolate as it is.

I think that we have to provide the right environment for them to grow the right way... Not to hope that they will come to their senses and be good people. This I am sure is part of a good upbringing.
