Sunday afternoon

Still in the office. Can't concentrate anymore on work. Nadia,my colleague is still typing at a breakneck speed. Rushing to finish her paper for an international conference. It's a sad sort of silence between us, haven't talk for hours.

"Who'e taking care of your baby?" I asked.
" He's at home with my husband." She replied.

That was the last converstion we had today, sometime around 10.0m a.m. It's been more than 6 hours since we actually communicate. While I'm just enjoying my time here, she's been stressing for hours. Wonder how I can make her more comfortable... Perhaps I should go back home now and leave her alone.

Busy Sunday, next week too. Not busy, but I'll be having business meetings, visiting my gran in Seremban, then rushing back to Melaka again. Don't think I'll have time to meet up with Jules or Sandz next week. I really crave for it though. Jules said she's always anxious to meet me too everytime I went back. haha... She said it's "Sharon's Day"..

Sent an e-mail to Leonard today. We've been too caught in our own work to even talked to each other since CNY. Feel weird for not able to talk to my own brother.. how can I let this happened? Wonder how's he doing. Wonder how's my 'Tai Soh" (sis-in-law) doing too. Got a picture of Leonard in one of his recent performance with a jazz band -- Happy People Quintet. Quite a funny name huh? They were performing on 17th February in Avanti's American-Italian restaurant. Hmm.. What a surprise....


From left: "Happy People Quintet" members Eddie (trumpet and flugelhorn), Julian (saxophone & Flute), AJ (bass), Leonard (That's my bro! on piano & keyboard), Charles (drums).

Check out for the review of this band: http://alldatjazz.com/item/575/catid/4

Feeling proud of Leonard right now. There were good reviews about him. Wish I could hear him play again soon..

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...

Stupidity

Life has been a mess for the past whole week. Juggling between work and family is not my strength. I certainly missed mum being around. He just lost his respect from all his children. He knew it before and he definitely knows it now. But he's just too arrogant to come back and admit that it's his fault that things turn out so badly. I confronted him for his actions last night. I have never raised my voice against him, but yesterday, it's just really unbearable. If I knew what happened later after I left, I would have screamed my lungs out and bring my brothers along with me. Last night, what you did is plainly stupid. Stupid, for leaving your family behind. Stupid, for seeking for comfort from others while your wife is here waiting at home. Stupid, for not caring over your children. Stupid, for ignoring your responsibility as a son, a husband and a father. You have definitely lost what you had all this while. All because of your ego, arrogance and stupidity.
