Happy Mother’s Day To All The Mums in The World.

Rejoice and be happy. Its our day

Imagine this, you’ve had a reasonably bad experience for the past week. The recent weekend was short as usual and its back to work today, a Monday. It was casual as usual and you’re dreading the working day and traffic jam, then BANG ! You hit the blardy car in front of you at the junction. A car which is 3 times more expensive than yours.

How soi (unlucky in hokkien) is that ?

The driver also one kind. When we were trailing behind him, he was already driving quite slow. Then at the junction, he blardy stopped (cause perhaps he thinks he drives a big ass car) even though the side of our road was clear. Teh-C didnt see it coming also. But here, in short, if you bump the fella’s a*s, you pay for it

We’re waiting for the driver to call us and tell us how much it costs after the repair works are done. I sure hope it doesnt costs more than a couple hundred. There was a deep scratch. Harap we dont get conned la. You know how some ppl can jack up the repair charges one. I know its our fault, but you think we actually asked for it meh !

I’m so frustrated after the hell i went through the past week. Money keluar keluar keluar only.

Before i continue to part II, here are some pictures before and after Da Boss’ trip to the hospital.

This is him playing with Mr Duck Duck at the restaurant in Vistana Hotel KL which we went the week before. Fyi, the food in Vistana sucks even though it ranks as a so-called 4 Star Hotel. We saw the article in The Star paper and was surprised by the cheap price of RM30 for all you can eat (but very limited choices) and decided to give it a try. OMG service was awful except for one or two staff and the food quality was really bad. Milkshae was damn watery, i can do better than them. Vistana, if you cant serve good food for RM30, dont offer it at such a price only to come up with lousy food. They even forgot our order even after taking the damn order for the 2nd time. Buat malu la YTL Corp .. Please dont put your hotel so highly ranked if you cannot even maintain good service and good food. Speaking of which i must start writing the complain letter…

Here is my lil cutie on the night of the convulsion incident. I took a picture of him. His right eye looked swollen and he had “tua se lap bat chiu” (big small eyes). He even striked a pose for me to take a photo of him

Then the saga continues ……

Last Friday night was one of the scariest experience that i ever had. I was at home with Da Boss. He has runny nose for the entire week and from Wednesday onwards, he was down with an eye infection and later a fever. I wanted to apply the eye ointment for him but he woke up instead. Felt that his body was really hot, so off we went to the fridge to get him the paracetamol and Rhinatiziol for his flu. He was a good boy to take those medicines and was happily sipping water by the cup while watching Lilo & Stitch on Astro. Then suddenly he choked (on his water) and puked. Arrghhh that didnt go well.

I picked him up and went straight to the bedroom. Seated him on the bed and took off his clothes. I was looking for a fresh pair of clothes when i heard a thump ~ on first glance, i saw that he fell on the bed and i thought that he was tired or playing around. But a second look showed that he was fidgeting / shaking seriously.. i rushed to his side and noticed that he was having a fit. I didnt know what to do at the time and started to cry ~ his face had turned blue. I felt helpless. So i called 999 for an ambulance and gave my name, address and told them what happened. Then i called my husband who was on the way home. My son’s fit subsided but he looked very tired and sounded as if he is trying to say something but in a helpless way .. if you know what i mean.

Moments later my hubby arrived and we considered of whether to wait for the ambulance or to rush to the hospital and decided the latter. The hospital called and asked for my address and i explained to them. Then we decided to go the hospital on our own. We rushed out of our apartment and was walking down the stairs at the end of the building when Teh-C remembered that he left the car keys in the house. Arrrghhh damn it. The worst thing is he forgot the house keys as well. Double dammit. I was feeling so hopeless. What can we do .. it was nearly midnite and its hard to catch a cab. Teh-C decided to try his luck and ram the door. After several unsuccessful loud attempts, the next door neighbor came out to see what was happening and so i explained to him. He asked whether we could go through the balcony and i thought that i did not locked the balcony door. So Teh-C went in and climbed over to our side of the balcony. Meanwhile my phone rang and the hospital called again to ask where our place was. I explained several times and then the neighbor said to forget about the ambulance and offered to send us. So scr*w the ambulance (apparently from HUKM).

~to be continued ~

Teh-C and I have been thinking of migrating lately. This is of course not something new as we’ve had that thought for quite some time. Now that we’re in KL, its a step closer though. The embassies are here in KL and if we need to submit our applications or go for interviews, its just much easier.

We’re thinking of US, Canada or Australia. I’ve had the chance to chat with some friends. Some of them prefer Australia basically because its nearer, the weather is more bearable and perhaps jobs are aplenty. US is a no-no because of its current economic situation and perhaps PR are much harder to get. Canada is apparently a place for retirement but Teh-C’s friends say that they lack of people (meaning job opportunities?) and moreover, the population is growing very slowly due to the fact that they are not into having kids.

What do you think ? Which country should we seriously consider and which is easier to get a job and the PR ?

We cannot afford at this moment to actually go over there first and get a job. We’ll have to take the slow way, basically waiting for an offer to come. But for Australia, the jobsites usually state that you must have the right to work in Australia ?

What are the rules when applying for PR ? Do you need to pay first and what if it gets rejected ? Gosh, so many to think of. There’s money and there’s money.
