(8) i did it again...
WOW... nobody's home! I had the computers all to myself and naturally I chose the Acer. Hmmm... blogging can be a real waste of time. Should I have spent my time doing something more constructive or productive? Can you believe it? I took 1.5 hrs to figure out how to LINK - needed to have the heading etc etc! Yah... that long!! Well, what do you expect since I was all out to prove myself!!!

(7) why god created children...
Whenever my children are out of control, I can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.....
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was "DON'T!"
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit?? Hey Eve... we have forbidden fruit!!!!!"
"No Way!"
"Yes way!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.
A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and he was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She started it!" Adam said.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.....
BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THIS STORY!
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give your children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!
1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
3. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
4. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
ADVICE FOR THE DAY:
Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home.
AND FINALLY:
If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what the label on the aspirin bottle says:
'TAKE TWO ASPIRINS' and 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN'

(6) merry christmas...
Wishing Everyone a Very Blessed Christmas!
Yep... I'm still up cos we came home from the midnight service at 1am and nobody wanted to go to bed yet.
I really hope everyone remembers the true meaning and spirit of Christmas. Teenagers today are so busy shopping for x'mas gifts for their friends. Yes, it's really nice to remember your friends in this season of giving and sharing. But what about the teens whose parents have financial difficulties or constraints? I think these teens are under tremendous pressure to give as well. And sometimes, one gets a terrible headache from the rushing about town just to get presents for everyone and anyone. Perhaps a personally-made card or gift will be treasured even more by the recipient... Well, I still have my kids' (yeah, I call them kids) stuff which they made when they were kids!
PSST!! 74 yr-old mother-in-law was really high tonight! Super-hyper! She claimed she was not drunk! Nah... she was just very very happy!
I'm happy too, though I can't say much about my waistline. Couldn't fit into the outfit I wanted to wear for the midnight service. Sigh... too much feasting and drinking :(

(5) here we go again...
I'm really sick and tired of the constant squabbles... 1 laptop and 3 desktops and I still get all this shit! Yeah, yeah... I know my pc in the study room is really slow cos it's only on a 56k modem, but it's still ok for msn. Don't they know that some families don't even own a pc!

(4) i did it all by myself...
YIPPEE! I had been thinking about tagboards whilst preparing dinner. Luckily the maid got back earlier than I had expected, so I went back to the computer to do it. YES... I managed set up the tag-board all by myself! No help from anyone! Trial and error! Never say 'die' spirit!
I never thought I could do it! I never could understand all that html stuff. Of course, I'm still blurr... but I was so damn (yeah..yeah, I know I shouldn't be swearing) lucky to have pasted the html code in the right place after only a few tries.
Emily, the poor thing who is stuck at home cos of her chickenpox, was the FIRST to tag. . Hmmph.... got the cheek to ask for her allowance when it's not even Monday yet! As if she could go paint the town red next week! TAG! TAG! TAG! Who will be the next to tag??

(3) for any teenager who happens to stumble in...
I was already 20 when I bought this door-knob hanger thingy. Though I was already past my teens years then, I hung it on my door-knob and swore by this creed. When I got married, I had to pack all my personal stuff and bring them along with me. I finally took it out again when my kids turned teens.....
TEEN CREED
Don't let your parents down;
They brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey;
You may give orders someday.
Choose your companions with care;
You are what they are.
Guard your thoughts;
What you think, you are.
Choose only a date
Who would make a good mate.
Be a master of your habits,
Or they will master you.
Don't be a show-off when you drive;
Drive with safety and arrive.
Don't let the crowd pressure you;
Stand for something or you'll
Fall for anything.Author Unknown

(2) not so savvy after all...
SUPER KODOK!!
Now these teenagers will be ever so condescending and declare, 'Oh, you poor thing.' but secretly cheer triumphantly, 'The fogeys can try, but they can never keep up with us.'
I couldn't update my blog cos I couldn't login. I was so sure there was something wrong with blogspot.com as I was very very sure what my password was! Griped and griped about it day after day. I told myself that I shouldn't have blog on blogspot... perhaps diaryland or some other site would have been better (just look at this template!). Yah, yah, blame others but not moi!
Then... ahem, my dear Emily who was stuck at home cos of chickenpox and was bored to tears, decided to give her Big-MaMa a helping hand! VOILA! Eh.. very embarrassing leh. It was my username that was incorrect, not the password!! Really paiseh, man!
Never mind any sniggers I may get for immediately forgetting my username after the first login. I will try to change my template and put up a tagboard soon. Well, not so soon cos we are having the family chalet (poor poor Emily) and I got to read up on 'how to get a new template' etc etc.
Wish me luck!!
