i have been working on a file lately and the more i go into it.. the more frustrated i am with the jr i worked with on the file. other colleagues have asked me to "cool down" and take care of my moods. i tried and failed.

i have been asking myself why. and today i suddenly realised why i cant "just relax" about it.

i am intolerant to careless mistakes and people who dont bother to check their work. i am not saying that i am perfect but at least i bother. the mistakes that i spotted is really alot and most of them i have already instructed to amend but someone just dont seems to be bothered. constant reminders to check the work also fall on deaf ears.

so why am i so bothered? my dad's fault.

i am really born an absent-minded person. always forgetting where i left my toys and crying over it. mummy would always help me find them later but not before giving me a good lashing for being forgetful. when i started school, i would start loosing water bottles, favourite story books or some pretty stationery. school work was filled with silly mistakes here and there.

i think my dad realised that my forgetfulness was getting worse... glad that he didnt gave up on me and label me "just careless/forgetful".. =P

so they tone down the scolding and put them into actions instead. when i misplace my water bottle, instead of replacing it with a fancy new one, they would "downgrade" my water bottle to those cheap kind. i would also lose "privileges" of bringing story books, fancy pencil cases etc.. he would also try lots of other funny punishments on me.. i think what my dad was trying to do was to teach me to be more responsible for myself and hence less forgetful with my belongings.

when other classmates go home with 96/100, their parents will shower them with candies and new toys. my dad would cane me once for each careless mistake i made.

though my work may not be mistake free, but i have a habit to check my work. and now that i am working, i still do that.

there was once, my sisters and i were complaining in front of daddy, who he was the strictest with. i complained that i am the worst treated, since i was the one with the most careless mistakes.. daddy just said, but that helped you right? and he was right. =)



i am really glad that i have a daddy like my daddy. =)
happy birthday daddy! i love you.

its with a sad heart i type this.. i think i lost a friend and i do not think there is anything i can or should do it get him back.

just last week i was so happy with facebook that i found a lost friend. a friend i made while i was doing volunteering work in thailand. and to those who know me since back then would understanding why the people i met there are so important to me.

but its kinda sad that this friend seem to come back into my life for the wrong reason and i think its the best to "keep the distance" =(

saying things like he married someone who looks like me kinda makes me..... er.... but the hubs on the other hand is totally cool about it.. his reason? that means my wife is hot mah... -_-"

its maybe a boy... or just a girl who hates pink tutu dress.

went for the part II of the down syndrome test for minibean today. had the blood samples taken weeks ago and its left with the detailed scan today. thanks to the advancement of technology, i was awed by what i saw. too bad the hubs was not able to join or else he would have died a happy man, like me today.

anyway.. one of the first thing the lady pointed out was minibean's nose. thrice. oookie.... so that is a nose..... did not think much about it until much later and i went to google about the nose. well, apparently, the noses of babies with Down's have a small or poorly formed nasal bone that does not show up on the scan in early pregnancy (source: http://www.babycenter.in/a557439/ultrasound-markers-#ixzz2T9Qql6P3).  ahh... so i learnt something new today!

went on to see the bladder, the fluid at the back of the neck, the brain, the limbs, the bladder, etc.. the test results came out awhile later after i completed the test. the results was advised by another doctor, Dr Tony Tan. googled him also and he actually specialises in the management of high risk pregnancies so i guess he should be right about minibean being ok.. =)

the lady doing the scanning also asked if i wanted to know the sex of the minibean.. of cus lah! so that i can plan for the design of the baby room and buy clothes! its a girl, she said confidently after a quick look. and there i was lying there listening to her explaining the difference between a boy/girl and thinking to myself, well, a girl means that i can buy pink tutu dresses... and suddenly the lady changed her mind. -_-" so now its an 80% chance of minibean being a boy or just a little girl who hates pink tutu dress. though i have a feeling that minibean is probably a boy but i wont be surprised if its a girl - a strongheaded girl just like the daddy and daddy's little girl (more on that next time)!

anyway, the hubs strongly believes that its a girl and would only refer to minibean in the female pronoun -_-"

quack quack!

i find this so cute that i must share! 

TGIF everyone! =)
