Facebook Gamer

I never knew I’d be a FB Gamer. I’m somehow always hooked onto one game. It was Farm Town, then Cafe World, and now Zoo World. Honestly, I don’t know why I’m playing these games so much! Ok, to justify, I only play one game at a time now, because playing these games are taking alot of my time.

I’m looking for some exit signs, so I can stop. Could one of them be that when I turn on my Mac in the early morning and the first thing I do, is to check the status of my game? That is probably the saddest sign of addiction. But, how can I stop this? Do I tell my brain that this game will never end and that it’ll eat my time more and more, and my kids now consider my playing this game, as ‘work’?

ARGH! I have to stop these games! I wish FB had a function where I ban all game applications. SOBS.

Summer 2010

Ok, today is the last day of summer for 2009. I’m already thinking of summer 2010. Yup, end of the year.

Y’see, since Mr.T is around, it’ll be fun for the kids if we actually went camping! Of course, if I had it my way, I’d rent a motorhome, then, I would not have to deal with pitching tents and faraway toilets. I’d drive it right up to the campsite, park my ass there, literally. I can do my business at any time of the day..and my kids too! Nobody to hassle me, 10 times, just to go to the loo, to do a small wee. And if anyone wanted to nap..it’s just right there! No mozzies, no insects crawling up your ear and definitely no spiders!

But then…where is the joy in camping then? Ah well…. this is still under discussion.

Facebook/Twitter Burglars

Recently, a burglar was caught because he was actually updating his status in FB at the victim’s home. Yes, he updated something silly like how he scored with his recent break-in. I wonder how stupid can we get? And then there’s the other thing about updating your status too much, to the extent where would-be burglars will know your schedule and choose the most convenient time to steal from you.

Of course, if you have installed into one of those  home security systems, then the chances of that happening would be reduced.

I must admit, when FB first came about, updating statuses was fun. Reading other people’s statuses was fun. Then, it came to a point where I really didn’t want to know if their coffee at Starbucks sucked or not. And to a point, where I didn’t see a point in updating my status anymore. Who the heck wants to read about my day with 2 door-to-door salesmen, and how I turned them away?

Is there a point to FB status? Yes.. if someone dies.. pls let me know. If only I can update my death posthumously.

But,

Up to my neck

Unfortunately, the longer I delay, the more expensive it’s going to be. I’m not even sure why I’m delaying, perhaps because it is getting more expensive! I’m talking about private health insurance. Yea..like those Blue Cross Blue Shield NC, medibank, HBA, iSelect. Honestly, I feel like I’m paying my blood out for something ‘just-in-case’. I know it’s good to have it, if something really did happen. I have car insurance. I need that. I have house insurance, I surely need that. I don’t want my house robbed/burnt down, and be left with nothing!

Then why can’t I just jump into buying private health insurance of the whole family? WHY??? WHY?? Is it because I assume we’re all so healthy and don’t need it? BUT! I know..that one day, we’ll need it.

Grrr..drives me mad, when I have to try to think rationally and look at expensive numbers at the same time. The blood pressure is going up, and I’d definitely need health insurance by now!

Poker face

If I had to keep a poker face everytime my kids did something silly, my body will crack under the pressure. Sometimes, my kids do or say the silliest things, and I always burst into a big laughter. Then they try to do more of that silly thing, which kinda defeats the purpose and that’s when I go, Ok ..stop, not funny anymore.

Which makes them sad.

I guess, they just like to see me laugh, instead of scowl all the time.

If anyone knows what is the best weight loss pills to have, please don’t tell me. I think I rather use my muscles laughing away at my silly boys’ antics.

What do you eat for breakfast?

Do you know how to reduce cholesterol? Simple. Just stay away from oily food and eat heaps of oats.

Heh. That’s my simple plan of keeping the cholesterol level at a minimum. Of course, by that I mean in moderation. I really love my crisps..and somehow can’t get enough of them. But.. one must be disciplined and keep those crisps at bay (at times). For breakfast every single day, I make myself a bowl of oats. I must say, it’s become a habit, that even if I were to go for a holiday, I’d reach out for my bowl of oats.

What can I say? I’m a creature of comfort. And hey! Oats are good for you! From the heart, right down to the bowels. And I think my body pretty much thanks me.

Eataholic

This is a BBC program that I caught last night. I wasn’t sure what it was about, I thought it was about people who just love to eat. I honestly thought it was a program that followed people around and where they ate. But it wasn’t. This episode was about this boy (who wasn’t into equestrian apparel), who just could not eat anything other than crisps, something and yorkshire pudding.

Apparently, he was bottle fed till 5, and pretty much from then on, he couldn’t eat anything else. He’s about 18 now. When the host asked him to eat a carrot, it took him a long time before he could will himself to put it in his mouth. And when he did, he looked like he wanted to vomit and he spitted it out.

OMG! How did he survive all these years? He had some pretty severe psychological barriers to go through, and he just couldn’t get his brain to tell him that he could eat. You’ll be glad to know that by the end of the show (and probably it took weeks to film this grueling painful process of shedding his old-self), he was eating gourmet pizza (simple one, just with cheese and tomatoes) in a restuarant. While he couldn’t finish it (I wouldn’t have been able to finish it as well), he ate it. And that must’ve felt good to him.

Temporary insomnia

That’s me. I used to love to sleep.

Now, it’s not easy to fall asleep unless I am super exhausted. Every morning, I have to put on some eye cream for dark circles, because well, I just look terrible. Well, despite my feeble attempt, I still look tired. I wonder, what is it that’s keeping me awake at night?

Sometimes I think it’s because I know I have incomplete work to do. I do have alot of work I owe people. I wish I didn’t make so many promises sometimes. I over-promise. But I will always try to deliver, no matter how late. I just hope they will understand and be patient.

What a day.

I hope that I’ll be able to bury this bad day I’ve had in this mountain of posts. I bumped a car today.

While waiting for No.1 to finish his tennis, I took up some catalogs and read about some hgh supplements,at the same time, going through the alphabets with No.2. I was actually very sleepy and honestly wanted to zzz off. When No.1 finished, he got into the car. I started the car, and looked out of the window. I saw two ladies and their 6 kids walking. As I slowly reversed the car, I was counting the no of kids, because I just didn’t want to hit any of them. I was also slowly reversing, just in case one of them decided to bolt and..well, lord should know, how I’d feel if I hit any kid!

So, I didn’t notice the car parked behind and bumped its bumper. The owner was one of the ladies, and she was quite.. well, shocked.

So was I. I profusely apologised and really felt bad. Honestly, there wasn’t any scratches or dent..because it was a just a bump. But, I told her to check if she could open her boot, she could. She said she couldn’t see any damage, but will have to check with her hubby. I’m still anxiously waiting for her call, it’s already 9pm. I doubt she’ll call me now. I wish she’d call me, just to tell me if I needed to compensate her or not.

What a heavy heart I have right now. I really feel bad for bumping her car. But at the same time, I just hope she won’t take advantage of the situation. I wish I took a picture of her bumper. Who knows what she would do. Luckily, there were witnesses. The other lady even said that the car bumper looked alright.

So…x those fingers, and hope that I won’t have to pay anything.

Reading with kids

It is quite frustrating, getting them to read with you. I am not the most patient of persons. I repeatedly ask for grace and patience. Because I really lack these two qualities. It’s not so much the really long words like physiotherapists or argireline. I am most patient if he doesn’t know these long words. What irks me MOST is that he skips words OR he’ll replace words which he thinks should be there.

I want him to read it word for word, to understand punctuation. To enhance his vocab library. To be diligent. All in just reading one book every day.

Please. Please grant me the patience and grace that I sorely lack. PLEASE!
