Sketches of Life|Life Lived in Simplicity

I learn something new today.

Miche says: i speak to her on d phone, i know she siu jie one
chooi peng says: aiyoh, miche u know “siu jie” ????
msau says: …attractive ler
Jess says: cannot call siu jie in china
Jess says: later ppl kick u
chooi peng says: siu jie = ayam?
Jess says: siu jie mean prostitute to them
Jess says: yaya
msau says: LOL
msau says: got quality to be siu jie not bad wat
Jess says: yalor

I thought that word means someone who is lady like. Mana tau! Wrong pronounciation can lead to that word pulak.

So you better don’t simply call people in China “Siu Jie” unless you like to be kicked. Oh before that be sure you got your family covered with family insurance, in case your whole family kena kicked by the Siu Jies in China.

A review has been ordered to be placed on your blog In His Time. You have three business days to accept!

So happy to receive the above message from ReviewMe in my email. My first offer after almost a year with them. When that blog has PR4, no offer. Now it drops to PR2 then only got offer.

I am not upset about my PR dropped again because I am not the only one. I noticed that I got more traffic compared to when I have PR4.

I think that is more important to Advertiser for our blog to have more traffic rather than high PR.

So, please come visit me more often ya.

We can only make plan but God is the one who determine whether it will be viable or not. My holiday plan during the Hari Raya holiday is canceled because all my children are not well. My plan to resign might be postponed to after CNY, reason to be disclosed later and my plan to own a Naza Ria has to be postponed or even cancel due to financial constraint.

Meantime, I just make do with my old junk. I am thinking of change the colour of my car, to my girl favorite colour; half Pink and half Purple! The steering wheel also needs to be changed, and maybe add some nice auto accessories to make it look new. Oh ya! Must add a player in the car. If not I will be thinking about what to blog ALL the time! Hehe.

Is the person who plucks apple call Apple Plucker? Please correct me if I am wrong.

I told my mom about our neighbour who went to Australia to pluck apples, she knew all along about it. That boy is actually trying to get away from being caught by the police. He sold drugs!

All I know that he was a bouncer in one night club and later operate snooker center before he left for Australia.

Well, if you are in this line, I am sure mixing with the wrong group of people cannot be avoidable. I am sad that he made the wrong choice.

That’s why as parents, we have to instill good value and teaching to my children. And if possible be there all the time for them. It makes a lot of difference. This boy’s mom passed away when he was in his primary school and his dad is the “softy” type; give in to every demand from his children.

Please don’t ever spare the rod.

Do you know that you can get paid AUD13 an hour for just plucking apple is Australia? That’s a lot of money for Malaysian who goes there to work.

I met my childhood friend on Monday at Pasar Malam, she told me that her brother is working there. I heard about it too and my own brother wanted to leave his wife and baby to pluck apples but my dad did not allowed it. Life is sure very tough working in the field.

According to my friend, her brother has to work 12 hours a day. I think ah, pluck until don’t want to pluck and eat apple until jelak. I would rather sit behind my PC and blog in the comfort of my home. But then, not every one can write and menceceh.

Hubby can’t wait for me to lift my butt from here. “Are you done with your blogging yet?” he asked impatiently. Told him I want to buy a laptop, but he “donated” my money to his brother. So he has to wait until I am done here.

In Malaysia we don’t have Low APR Credit Cards. Our credit cards come in either 0% on Purchase for the 1st year, 0% Balance Transfer for the first 6 months or Annual Fee waived for lifetime if we use the card 12 times a year every year.

Maybe I will use my credit card to buy a laptop and take advantage of the 0% on Purchase and 0% Balance Transfer to save on the interest.

Or maybe I shall wait for another month, my paid post income would be sufficient for me to get a cheap laptop.

Msau wants to know about my first post when I started blogging. My first post is not in this blog. I started blogging way back in 2004 after I gave birth to my eldest daughter.

Here’s my first post in Blogspot:

Pray for your children’s spouse

My husband prayed for our 14 months old daughter’s future husband! Good also lar, when she’s old enough, i’m sure we will see boys knocking at the door and we will know which one is going to be her future husband because we prayed for him…but we have to be very specific in this “prayer-made” husband of hers. How much older or younger? His parents? His vocation? His ministry? His character? His personality? His physical appearance? His financial? …

Basically in His time in Blogspot has been my personal blog and later in the same month I started another blog In His Time, a subdomain from Liquidblade.com using WordPress courtesy of a Singaporean blogger friend who I know from my varsity junior.

As it is now, this blog is a journal of my pregnancy, child birth, and my children’s development. Basically, all about parenting.

Wanna share me your first post in blogging? Leave your comment and I will add your link in this post. Not gonna tag anyone here.

My mom is very upset with my brother and sister in law. You know lar, MIL and DIL where can ngam one. She would complaint to me about her but I just listen, I won’t add any salt or pepper to it because I am a DIL too!

She was very angry till the extend that she wanted to leave the house and stay with my 2nd sister who is staying in Kuching. She even packs some of her things in her Samsonite luggage bag and told me to resign and mind my own children so that she can be free to go anytime she like.

It seems that the older you get, the more sensitive you become. I am still figuring out why is this so.

Here’s another tips to de-stress. Go for vacation. However it can be very expensive but if you smoke, I believe the money spent to buy those cigarettes that you are puffing away can even afford to bring you for Mexico Vacations.

But then not all vacation offers remedy to stress. If it is not you day, you might come back to work with more stress. I was reading the FEMALE magazine when I was doing rebonding at the salon recently about haunted hotel. 2 ladies booked a hotel to get away with work, to relax and do all the girlie stuff but they received an unpleasant visit “someone” that loves to mess up their cosmetic when they were sleeping.

They went back to work with more stress instead!

DragonMummy you are so sweet. Thank you so much for this award. Btw, when is Halloween?

To the 3 important ladies in my blogging world now. They use to be just a virtual friend but recently, one of them proved to me that they are for real. That will be my Lenglui Msau. Really she is a LengLui, don’t believe, take a look at her daughter, pretty or not?

The first blogger that I met since I started blogging would be my Cute Little Jesslyn. And the one that is yet to reveal her real self is Chooi Peng. I don’t how to describe her yet. Maybe after I meet her.

This treat is for you too. Thank You so much for being there for me when I need someone to chat with.
