muahahha.. i would not need to bother with recruiting domestic help in the future. …

or at least, i would hope so.

not when me own bairn has developed a full-blown penchant for helping out.

two weeks ago she helped me bake a cake (yes, i baked a cake - it’s from that easy mix thingy that you can just pluck off any supermarket shelf)

last week, she started wanting to do her own dishes. she’s already done her own dishes twice so far. i am trying to train her to take less time than her usual (which ranges between 10 - 20 minutes for one kiddie plate). who knows? by the time she reaches her 3rd year, she’d be doing the whole family’s dishes !!! hip hip horay!

kya’s dear nenek, who kinda read my intentions when i let kya do her dishes, dished out this warning to me instead “esok esok bila mama gi rumah fara, kalau mama nampak cucu mama kena dera buat semua kerja rumah, mama telepon teledera or police!“

damn.

a mom can’t be blamed for trying too early aye?

i am very the late in getting up to speed. it is also not helping that i am working from a desktop that’s way past its prime (was bought circa 2002) and is also our project team’s central repository (imagine 11 other people remotely accessing files from this pc)

how was my looooongggg leave? being a kl-ite, was happily awarded public holiday up to thurs. didn’t see the point of coming to work on fri. took fri off too!

well, just to sum it up in somewhat chronological order

• went furniture shopping. in preparation for vacant possession of our selayang home. instead of feb 06, the updated VP date is apr 06. not complaining tho’.. as i’d like to be able to save up a bit more b4 moving out of my parents’
• went back to mama’s hometown to attend a relative’s wedding reception. never actually did end up at the reception as kya decided she didn’t want to head for the extremely loud gathering - the food made its way to us tho’, courtesy of my younger bro who’s considerate ’nuff seeing that i’ve yet to have my lunch
• experienced the shock of my life *at that point of my life la* after the reception. saw abg awie’s car (with abg awie, ayu and my nephews in it) being spun around and lose its front wheel after being hit on the front passenger side by some dumb-ass who sped on the ipoh-kl road. most of the witnesses agreed that he couldn’t have been driving anything short of 100km/h but this dumb-ass (a local guy who’s already buddies with the local police) insists that he was going at 80km/h. local police says abg awie is at fault as he did a u-turn. we are claiming that the bugger is already driving too fast at 80km/h as the stretch of road near mama’s hometown gazetted speedlimit is 60km/h. there’s still some ding-dong-ing around - the family thinks that local police is already in this bugger’s pockets. damn those bad apples in rmp.
• went to the nearest beach to kl (peedee). regretted our staying at bayu beach resort.. the whole place is poorly maintained - room, pool, even the coffee house. the only redeeming point was the beach. much better than guoman’s - which was the main reason i decided to try bayu beach again.. (wids.. kenapa ek dulu mase kita pegi rasa cam ok aje tempat nye?! or is it becoz i’ve become a snob?)… don’t even get me started on the deplorable state of the restaurants that we visited - it was like a scene from the swarm - only instead of bees, it’s flies… yuckkss.. amir even declared that we may never vacation in peedee again.. that was how bad the experience was
• got some reading done - watched a number of dvds - played with kya a lot

just wondering when i’d be able to go on long leave like that again.. the previous long leave was maternity (which of course doesn’t count since u’re not allowed to go gallivanting) and before that it was my marriage leave… i really should go on long leave more often.
