the 4 generations
we just came back from a short x'mas trip to singapore with my parents, daniel boy and my MIL... this is the first time that daniel travels so far away from home.... yup! he got his own passport now... sponsored by his daddy.... hehehe

this picture was taken before we leave singapore.... four generations here.... my grandma, my mummy & MIL, myself and daniel boy.... he is the youngest generation now...

Y 2008 x'mas gift exchange at my parents' home

as usual every year we will have a x'mas gift exchange at my parents's home.... this year is the first time that my PIL joined us.....

the 3 kids....

for the 1st time, this year we had a small potluck gathering at my home to celebrate x'mas with our good frens....... this is the group of frens whom we had known since primary & secondary school days.... yup... some i hv known for about 20 years....

we adults get to chit chat & gamble a bit... while the kids get x'mas presents....

as u can see from the pic, we had 35 months old mini Yeoh joo yee, 10 months old mini Ha hsuen wern and 8 months old mini Lam daniel... will they be good frens in the near future just like us adults?

human who is so in-considerate

one fine evening as we(me, sis & colleague) were walking towards my car after a hard day at work... oops... just a few feet away i noticed that the car on my right parked so near to my car until i cannot open the door to get into my driver's seat

in this situation, what to do but to call the driver to come down and remove the car "a bit" for me to get in.... got one of my colleague who is still in office to call and inform the driver about it... we shall call her Madam U

after a wait of 10 minutes, she walked towards us... and her face expressions was "blank"... as in no emotion.... no sad face, no happy face and most importantly no sorry face....

fine.... as i have expected Madam U to be a very cool person.... as everyone of us at work knows her......

as she almost reached her car, she looked at me with a very "I DO NOTHING WRONG HERE" face and asked me

"why? you cannot climb in from the front passenger seat to get into your driver's seat???"

what was my answer? I WISH I CAN DO IT THAT WAY

but hey! in my heart: i am not one small frame person.... plus i am wearing skirts! how to climb lah?

my dissatisfaction is IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG & DON'T WANT TO APOLOGIZE, PLEASE DON'T BLAME THE OTHER PARTY FOR GIVING YOU TROUBLE INSTEAD...

and in my case, Madam U feels that we need not call her to remove her car for me to get into my car as i could have climb in from the front passenger's seat... which means i am the one giving trouble and i am the one in the wrong

VERY CLEVER OF HER!
