Of good values and morals

This happened on a congested road nearby big R's school.
The traffics were bumper to bumper and it was in a stand still position. I was stuck in the T-junction with big R in the car. After I've had waited for 2-3 minutes and the situation still not improving, I came down from car and direct the car which need to make a left-turn to move forward and to make sure it doesn't knock on mine. Then, the situation improved slightly at least 1 more direction is moving. And that car's driver left without saying or showing any sign of thankfulness.
Then my son says this: Mummy, then next time I also want to help others.
I say: No! Mummy is 'bad' enough, then only can help others.
In this part of the world, people are getting bad, very meaning, very selfish, what they have is only their - self. The kind-hearted act could easily turn into self-find-trouble if you don't know how to protect yourself and handle it.
It seems as we just lost all the good values and morals of living in a homogeneous community. Regardless of whether it was 30 years ago or in these ICT age, good values and to show respect to each others still remain vital in order to live in peace and harmony.

In nice clothes

In between sending kids through and flo from school; home-schooling and my everyday monotonous morning marketing, it can be dull and boring sometimes. In order not to look boring each day, I try to wear better and being a little bit more fashionista can cheer up the people around and also to ourselves!
This is proven this morning and this is what I'm today.
With this attire, the moment I step into the market of this little town, friends and sellers most of them greeted me with their lovely smiles. Yeah, I know I wear better than the casual home attire today... ahem...... believe me or not, people would look at things that are pleasing to their eyes, what's more when we're wearing something in your favorite fabric. This sleeveless shirt still remained as one of my all time favorite.


This is a one-piece dress which had just completed. I asked hubby to snap a photo of me in a vintage metalwork belt (is that called belt?) passed down to me by my granny.

So, when you're not in good mood, try something nice to put on for yourself. It will change how you look dramatically. But there are times when you are really in good mood and you want to tell others of how you feel for the day, so you wear good.
er.. but then, just don't get me wrong the next time when you see me in nice attire, you thought that this gal must be in bad mood ...hope you get what I mean....
whatever it is, just be yourself. Enjoy your day... ; ))

Test and marks again

When you're homeschooling your kids you will really understand their progress and learning milestone. My younger son's kindergarten principal asked me to let him go for school's tutoring program since his test scores were not satisfying (meaning that not all subjects get over 90 or 100 marks). In this case, I think she had advised the wrong person for the wrong program. Because I'm never a person who will just look at the marks... never...
Furthermore, when you look at the question worksheet that the teacher has had prepared, there's nothing excited to look forward what's more when come to learning... : (

With these type of calculus questions, how are you going to expect a six-year-old to put in the answer? The worksheet format at the bottom part in my solution towards the misery... I teach Russell the way to get the calculation done. When the kids are at school and do not learn from what has been taught in a class of 10 students or so, what can we say?
