It is 7:47am, a Saturday morning.
It is still very quiet.
Probably most people in my neighbourhood are not working on Saturday, and they are still sleeping.
I am going to start making noise by putting clothes into washing machine, and preparing porridge for Xing Jie.
We are supposed to go back to Port Dickson today to visit dad. The last time I went back is the 7th day of Chinese New Year. My dad is staying alone at home now with 3 dogs and flocks of chicken. My mum will be back soon by middle of March.
Alex expressed his feelings of going back as 'boring, nothing to do there'. I agree. No internet connection, no Astro. No cinema. No shopping mall. No badminton. If he wants to go fishing at the pond, he needs to hunt for lizards first as lizard is the favourite food of the fish in the pond.
Sigh... since when going back home visiting parents becomes a burden?
I wish that when I get old, I am still healthy, have my own circle of friends and have enough money. My children will not worry about me and just go and do what they want to do.
Usually women live longer than men. If husband pass away first, the wife have no acompany in her old age. Loosing a life partner is very tough especially for an old woman whom her life was solely around husband, children and work. A woman should be cautious not to fall into this trap.
What is the purpose of life?
I am turning 30 this year, and still asking this question.
What do I want to do if I have all the time and money and does not need to work?
I want to travel around the world with my love one.
What is so fascinating about seeing the world and experience everything?
A boh then, what else you want to do? Charity?
But now I still no money no time and still need to work wor. How do I achieve my ultimate goal?
Strike ToTo? But I don't gamble.
What else can I do if I don't work for people?
Don't know wor. No business skills, no selling skills. No networks.
What do I enjoy doing the most? How do I make money from doing what I like to do?
Sex. So... be a prostitute?
God says in his Words:
Matthew 6:33 -> But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
And in Proverbs 16:3 -> Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.'
We need to at least know what we want in life. Then only we know what to ask from God. Then only God can answer us.
What do you truly want in life?
I want... that if I die the next minute, I will die without regret of have not done anything in this short life.
God: err... how to answer your prayer wor. So abstract one.

The Bra Story
The bras I wore before pregnant are too small. The bras I wore during pregnancy are too loose. I am looking for bra without underwire as mum advice it is better for heatlth. I tried Triumph, Sorella and Scarlet's bra without underwire but none of them suits.
Last night, I tried my luck in Audrey International bra shop located in Jusco Seremban. There were many choices and the sales woman provided professional service and advice. I tried nearly 20 bras with different designs and sizes, and finally only found 1 design and 1 size which suits me. By the way, all bras I tried are underwired. The no underwire one has soft cup. My nipples will be visible if I wear them.
Since no other choices, I ended up buying 4 pieces of the same type. 3 body colour, 1 black. With promotion (every RM40 rebate RM8, every RM80 rebate RM18), it still costs me RM197.++. Swipe card lo...
I Googled and so far have not seen any report saying bra with underwire is proven harmful for health. Not wearing bra when sleeping should be sufficient to give my breasts a lift. I hope mum will not nags at me when she finds out I wear underwired bra next time. She nags at me because she cares for me and loves me. OK. I will keep silence and listen to her, and nod my head at the same time (Yes, Yes).

Sushi King Mid Valley - attempt to cheat?
Alex and I went to Mid Valley on 16-Feb (Mon), hoping to buy children safety gate to be installed at the entrance from our living room into the kitchen, to prevent Xing Jie from going into the kitchen with her walker and play around with the laundry detergent, dustbin, onions and garlics. We didn't manage to buy any safety gate as Jusco and Carrefour no stock, and the one available in Toy R us is not practical. We ended up buying a RM30+ extendable shower curtain rail from Jusco.
Then, we went to Sushi King Mid Valley (lower ground, LG-074) for lunch. I ordered unagi with rice and Alex a set lunch with fish. It cost like RM34+. I offerred to pay the bill. So I went to the counter and paid cash RM50. The cashier gave me back some change. I calculated them before I left the counter and it was lack of RM0.60. So, I patiently explained and shown to the cashier that the change was lak of RM0.60. Before the supervisor came over, I saw him quickly took out RM1 from his pocket, and give me exact change. When the supervisor came over and asked what was happening, he told his supervisor:"I do not have enough change. It is very difficult for me."
We left and discussed on what has happened. It is illogical for a cashier to take out money from his own pocket. So, we were suspecting he is cheating a few cents from each customer who pay cash, so that he could earn more at the end of the day. Since no solid proof that he is trying to cheat, we didn't go back to Sushi King to tell the supervisor what I saw. Usually guy pays bill and guy usually doesn't check how much change they received. So, this little difference will not be noticed easily.
Probably, he has learnt his lesson and will be more careful and re-consider if he ever tries to cheat a lady who pays the bill. If he ever intentially cheating on customers, I truly wish he repents. God, please help him change.

Xing Jie's 3rd & 4th tooth
The lower gum front left tooth is out. The upper gum front left tooth will pop out anytime as we can see white line there and it is a little hard.
Alex had a dream last month before Xing Jie has any tooth. He dreamt of Xing Jie's teeth are grown completely, and he was wondering why she suddenly has so many teeth.
His dream has come true.

My Old Junk
Today, Alex and I spent RM1640 maintaining our cars due to wear and tear.
At the Lian Hup tyres workshop (open shop for 26 years):
My car (RM500):
- Change 2 new Dunlop tyres
- Change front tyres' loose under arm
- Change disc brake
His car (RM1140):
- Change 15 inches sports rims to 14 inches imported sport rims (better quality) due to 1 of the sport rims spoil (effect of ran into big holes)
- Change all 4 Dunlop tyres (since existing tyres are not compatible with 14 inch rim)
- Change both front disc brakes
At the wiring workshop (green gate, forgot the shop name):
My car (RM30):
- Fix problem of when light is turned on, no back light; only got back light when press brake.
- Replace left signal bulb which was burned.
- Repair dashboard light which has been off for many months.
Both shops are located near Yi Poh Restaurant. If entering from KFC / Ming Ki food court, the car workshops are on the left, and can see Yi Poh restaurant right at the end of the T junction.
I like their services as they are friendly, experienced and honest people. My car wiring problems has been there for so long time. The wiring workshop in Senawang industrial area dare not repair when Alex sent for repair 6 months ago because my car is too old.
Now we know where to go when we have car problems in the future.

Xing Jie's first tooth, and learning to crawl
Xing Jie is now 9 months +.
I felt her first tooth during last weekend (the Valentines Day weekend) when I brushed her gum with a gauze swabs using my fore finger. It is right front tooth. Few days ago, I felt one more tiny tooth at the bottom.
Since her tooth is still small, it cannot be seen when she smile. I got to find a suitable daytime (during weekend) to snap her with her little cute tooth while she lie down and play on the bed.
She has been lying on her stomach and crawl for 1 month +. Recently, from sitting, she can slowly lie on her stomach quite easily. But, haven't seen her does reverse way. She crawls much faster now. Her hands and waist are getting stronger. She can push up her body with both hands like doing push up. Probably very soon she'll learn to push up her body and crawl in doggy style instead of current breaststroke swim style.
