hello 2008

i’ve noticed something – every quarter – the family will be hit by a bout of some illness or other. the last i went underwater (under the radar due to busy tending to kids, self or hubby) was in october.
i was just recalling those days when … bamm!! anaqi came down with fever on monday – the fact that i was away all day (only reached home @ 11pm) when he started getting the symptoms didn’t help. so i was on emergency leave for the next two days… and since i am one who religiously takes her supplement… the lack of rest *relative to the other days* caused my own immune system to come under attack..
another resolution : take better care of myself
of gender discernment
kakak had a bout of determining everything by its gender last year when her class was introduced the topic… nenek – girl, yaie – boy, adik – boy, baba – boy… etc etc.. thank god we only speak in english and malay – if arab or french was in the books – then tables, chairs etc etc would also be subjected to this discussion.
she would also start classifying activities by which gender does what – play soccer? boy. play dolls? girls..
anywho, was discussing with a friend on her purchases for her firstborn… she just bought a walker-cum-car-cum-stroller thingamajig for her daughter and it had a barbie-girl design. i mentioned that i just recycled kakak’s stuff – which on hindsight, i luckily bought with designs that were gender-neutral.. friend mentioned that the alternate design for the equipment she bought was based on winnie-the-pooh.
which brought us to the question – what gender is winnie? answer: click here
of work
what can i say? it’s a new year… with a new captain… and hopefully, with new jobs that challenge me. will see as the year progresses whether my decision to stick it out will shoot me in the back
