Bad or good neighbors?

I've been living in the city for about 12 years now, and one thing I can be very honest with you is that in my 12 years of living with neighbor on both left and right side of my house, I haven't yet befriended a neighbor so good that I ever invited them over to my house for a meal, up to now. My current neighbor is fantastic because my mom started off being nice to them and they eventually know we're nice people so lately there's a lot of food sharing going on in between. If it weren't my mom, I won't even know who my neighbors are. So, she's actually a primary school teacher and she runs a tuition center after school. She's the only neighbor I have, I mean those I'm on talking terms with. My opposite house neighbor, I hardly see them. They hurried into their house every time they are back home and never once smile at us. So, we thought, who cares! I don't!

It has become a norm to live this way in the city, oblivious to the people around us. Isn't it sad? Everyone is so concern over their own safety that they even think their neighbour is the bad cop. Seriously. As bad as it sounds, it's actually happening everywhere. Imagine your house broken in by some burglars, they took away all your gold coins and your possession, your neighbor who actually seen what happened act as if he doesn't a thing, he can't even be bothered to call you, let alone call the cops. Opps, and he didn't have your mobile number! Sad isn't it.. I think everyone should make an effort to befriend their neighbor, at least try to get to know them. What do you have to share with me about this?

Pest control

Bugger, the kitchen cabinet has been infested by termites, again! We actually had the termite control people come and do come drilling to get rid of the termites, and we paid thousands for it. And to say that they gurantee that it's gonna last 5 years is a total bullshit. It has only been 3.5 years and now we're already seeing of some termites in the kitchen cabinet.
You know the dusty bits trail that leads right up to the wall or on the floor are all signs of pest! Can't believe it we paid so much to get rid of it and now we'll have to fork out thousands to get it done again. We should really get some reliable help from source trustworthy like Houston Pest Control. I heard they are very professional too.

Road bully

Don't you find it annoying that some people behave like king in the public, as if they are the ruler of the country, oblivious to the people around them. Here in Malaysia especially, 30% drivers on the road are road bully, not obeying the law. Cut queue, run traffic lights, turning without the signal light on, oh the list can go forever.

Today I had a bad encounter with a driver, thinking that driving a big car gives them the license to KILL on the road, almost knocked into a pedestrian because he was speeding so fast. Then worse thing is, he zoomed away as if nothing happened. I reckoned that time Depuy Lawsuit will come in handy. I don't care if you owned the biggest mansion or most fast car, but please have some manners.

Kids reward system

Shern came back from school today and proudly showed me his English spelling where he scored 100 marks. While we're at it, I told him to do some back-count on the amount of reward stickers I owe him, way back from late August, and that probably come up to 50 stickers easily.

One sticker is worth a dollar, boy, he has a lot more in his pocket now. But this darling of mine said, he's going to collect more reward stickers and planning to 'reward' himself with an iPad! This coming from my almost 5 years old boy. Kids nowadays, are they ambitious or what?

I told him that as much as I dislike him to play games on PSP, Nintendo, Wii, iPhone or iPad (which he has none of the above), I promised that he can buy whatever he likes with his reward money because he earned it. Of course, there will be parental control when it comes to playing games. He was literally feeling out of the moon, 'into the outer space'- as he likes to describe it.

As for now, he can dream as far as to the United States Gold Bureau, I got to bring him back to reality, he got to do well in school or else his dream of owning a iPad will never come true, so much so with owning gold coins.

15yo Birthday boy

My 15 years old brother celebrated his Birthday on Saturday. Of course, my mom and aunt prepared all the glorious home cooked food for the party. Actually only close family were invited, to say that we have 11 siblings, we already have a big crowd. Say 30, siblings, spouses plus kids, plus a few aunties and uncles. Phew, my family is huge.

So my brother Isaac was overjoyed as he got many monetary gifts from relatives, he has been collecting money to buy a guitar and a laptop and my guess is he is now a few hundred dollars richer.

I have yet to gave him a pressie, since he's still short of cash, I might as well gave him a hundred dollars instead of getting him a pressie he might not even like. Girls like gold bullion especially those from a reputable gold seller like United States Gold Bureau, but guys, I'm not so sure. But then again, who doesn't like gold? Everyone does!

My God that never fails to provide

I'm thankful that God has been providing us with everything that we need. Everytime we lack something, especially financially, God never fail to provide, from different source. Like hubs inheriting money from his long gone aunt, or friends giving us back money owned ages ago. That's how amazing God is.

To say that, I'm so thankful that God's grace and mercy is upon us, keeping us safe and sound wherever we are, He is an amazing God, nothing can compare with , absolutely nothing.

$2.99 for a game

Shern had so much fun playing with Lynd's iphone over the weekend. He even knows how to download new games from the appstore. We reminded him a thousand times not to download any paid apps, only those with FREE written on it. So he actually gets it, until he saw a BEN 10 game in the paid apps. He secretly downloaded a $2.99 apps and didn't tell us until my sister discovered it.
He loves Ben 10 character, that the whole world knows, he thinks that he can get away with it, if Lynd never finds out, it's dissappointing that he's not obeying instructions.
Well, kids don't know the value of money, don't even know that some people got to work hard to even earn a dollar, let alone 3! Give them a gold coins and they might even trade it off for a 20cents ice-cream. Talking about kids being kids.
