Parking woes!

For the past one year, I've been indulging in passions long shelved, travelling, enrolling for music/dance classes and pampering myself with beauty/massage sessions, just to name a few.

And, yes, familiarizing with the computer! It is embarrassing being computer illiterate and without a doubt, a career suicide in the corporate world! My computer literacy however, is only as much as been guided by Ca-Ryn before she left for Beijing with ahem, some marked improvement lately!

My present greatest and only obstacle is improving on my parking skills which unless is overcome, is a roadblock to my progress in search of bliss! I avoid going places and shy away from social gatherings because of parking disability!

I bet my admission astounds many as I've always been regarded a woman of substance! Weird that something easily accomplished by many, should pose a hurdle to me!

Ng, Ca-Ryn and Leslie had always been my nonsalaried chauffeurs and I was happy and contented with the arrangement!

Mastering parking with my Camry, 189" in length, or even my 187" Estima is NO EASY TASK! Once overcome, will see to me participating in more activities!! Wish me success!

Perhaps I should switch to driving a small car??

Hands up!

It has been one of those 'off' days every other day for the past fortnight! Damn it! Problem with the network connection again!

I have always count on Ca-Ryn to pave the computer world for me and am an idiot to anything computer related! When Ca-Ryn was around, she had always expressed impatience when I sought her assistance over anything trivial or so it seemed to her!!

It was the kind of impatience she will never exhibit to peers or friends when her PC guidance was needed though! Guess it is different with Mom as it is gonna be an on-going frustration!???

"Oh Mom! It is not as if you command of English is poor that you fail to comprehend. You're simply not making an effort to explore on your own!" she would cry in exasperation!

"Oh really? Would I then be a computer wizard with the knowledge of English that I possess??!"

When there were pops-up showing "There is an ip address conflict with another system on the network." or "Choose wireless network........" or " This network requires a network key......." or your mouse simply ain't responding, is merely the comprehension of English able to have the problems resolved?

Not so. My earnest attempt to tackle the problems I'm encountering proved futile! I've had the USB hub and mouse's batteries changed but still the problems persisted! Looks like I need to have the software revamped!

Until then, my life is doomed! Cannot imagine days without the COMPUTER :( :( :(

My deepest compassion!

As early as 8.25am yesterday, Shaly called. Sam, her yellow Labrador had died. Though sorry over the passing of her aged pet, Sam was 13, it was a relief that he had a peaceful death.

With Lynda, however, it was heart wrenching! Sobbing, she called from the veterinary clinic today, if she should put Babe, her pekingese-shih tzu cross, on drip to prolong his life or to put him to sleep!!!??? Babe had been in and out of clinics for treatment of his urinary infections and inability to empty it's bladder since September last year.

One of his kidneys had ceased functioning and the other about 30% defective! He had refused food and hardly mobile with his head dropping limply to a side unless supported. He had been squeezing into nooks and corners and hiding in places he would not have been as though searching for a place to rest forever.

For most of us, unless it died a natural death, guilt overwhelmed us even at the slightest thought of having it euthanized. It was a painstaking decision with Babe hanging on by a thread.

When I last checked on Lynda, Babe was already laid to rest.

Having lost Canon not too long, I know just how they feel. If the darlings had been truly loved and cherished while they were still breathing, then my friends, grief no more.......

As Steve Jobs had it, death is the only destination that we all share.....

Shake your booty!

Come on everybody! put on your dancing shoes and let's cha cha and salsa....

Whee! How I enjoyed swaying to the the rythmn of the music! It surely was exhilarating!

However, be prepared for the over the hill dejection if you fall within my age group.

Watching the younger ladies prancing in their spaghetti strapped, micro mini skirts, exposing slender legs in stilettos, you'll wish you would be able to turn clock to when you are 20!! Well, honestly, that's precisely how I felt!!

Excuse the guys for the lewd stares for even the woman in me couldn't resist smacking their bottoms, and which I did playfully, as they swayed provocatively to the beat!

Do join me at Danze Club and make boogieing your health insurance!! 

Misfortunes never come singly!!!

"Runny nose?" queried Aderlyn to my choked up voice when she called last night at quarter past ten. "Oh no, you're crying! Wassat matter?" she was all concerned.

Yes! I was crying! I was in deep pain! I felt miserable!

The unbearable throbbing pain persisted even after 7 hours from the time I was gnashed by Cuddles while breaking up the fight between her and Crunchy!! Her teeth had sunk deep into my palm! I had been crying uncontrollably for some 30 minutes then, simultaneously, cleaning up the blood that kept oozing from the wound!




After my narration, Aderlyn insisted I had my punctured skin attended to by professional care!

As if I would when I have always believed in cicatrisation!






My ORDERLY PARKED, precious Camry was grazed at the bumper at New World Park while I was dining at the Starview Restaurant the night before!

Had my hands been on the culprit, I would have had this fxxxxxx IDIOT of a BITCH, MUTILATED!!!

While many may brush this off as trivial, it is a sore sight to me!


Apparently, the twitching of my right eye on the first day of the week was itself a fore warning of some unfavourable happenings! ....sigh..........
