Smooth traffic = Good Mood

I dont' know whether it is only me or it happen to almost everyone who need to rush to/back work every morning/evening. I realise that since January this year, the number of cars on the road is TRIPLE compare to before economic slow down. I really don't know what is happening or going on....anyone able to tell me about it?


I remember clearly 2 years back, when my office hour is from 9am ~ 6pm, the traffic is really bad till I have to request to my boss that I want to change working hour, just to beat the traffic. Imagine to reach office before 9am, I have to leave home at 7.30am and after 6pm, I only reach home around 7 or 7.30pm. Because of the traffic stress, my mood will turn bad as well, and it is not good for my health(as my body cell will be depressed too without me realising it). Luckily, he approve my request. So, from that day, my official hour is change from 8am ~ 5pm. And, every morning, I started from my house around 7.20am, and it took me around 30~ 40mins to reach my office and same when I going home. So nice and wonderful hor....


Good thing never last forever!! A year back, thing has changed slowly and traffic started to get worst in early morning and before I manage to change my schedule again, suddenly due to petrol increase in price(middle of the year), cars getting less on the road, and it seem to be dreaming again that I could take only 30 mins drive to work ~ very smooth......

See, the sky is not 'open' yet, instead I already stuck in traffic jam :(

I still stuck.....

Too bad, it is only for few months nia....And, esp now, since January 2009, I can see there is huge change in car flow during early morning, say 7am!! Traffic start to occur everywhere. And, the worst part, nowadays, I no more enjoy driving easily in the early morning. My traffic jam started exactly in from of my house till I reach office. Imagine the stress that I occured. To make it worst, I can't start from my house at 7.20am anymore nor 7am!! When I start from my house at 7am, I will only reach my office around 8.10 or sometimes, 8.30am!!! Aiyoooohhhh!!!! One and half hours stuck inside the car!!!

What should I do?? Change to work from 7 ~ 4pm?? Is this possible? I don't think so...My colleague even tease me saying "come early to office, eat breakfast and then, start work" or "move house near to office"........Does this worth it to do so??

Rain, rain go away,....Momi need to go to work(the worst!!)

One thing I know for sure: When the traffic is bad esp during raining, or some minor car accident, my mood will be moody or bad as well during that whole day. When my mood is bad, everything doesn't seem to be correct at all......Now, only if I could stay at home, haha....then, all these unnecessary stress will go away peacefully and I will have more healthy life!!! For sure, I need to pray to GOD to give me sight to find solution for this crazy traffic........

Content of a Letter

Jona love doing Art & Craft or drawing. He just won't get bored of it compare to Iz. And, I think my decision of sending him to Art class really worth the money as nowadays, I just need to keep filling up my drawer with recycle papers. And, he didn't draw on the wall anymore!!! He just changed......

From times to times, he just love to draw something and then, write some message on it, either attention to me or Dadi or Aunty Flora, and then, request to have envelope and stamp to mail it out.

Writing all these letters and messages really boost his vocabulary skill as well as writting skill(I guess practise do make it perfect one day). I must admit that I quite impressed with his reading. He can read most of the children story book(most of the words) and also able to write a sentence, even though the handwritting ~ really no eyes see lor as well as never wanted to correct or re-write it nicely again. Just simply jump from one section to another like ROCKET(from bottom to up). When I try to correct him, he will just simply said "Mmm...never mind ar"

Here is one of it that I manage to snap:

"Mom, I love You. I got a game. You choose a animal. Which animal you like.....In the box got, Fish, Turtle and Butterfly.......

Weekend Activities

Remember I say before that Dadi always complains that my son toys are too many and request me to stop buying anymore when I’m on my biz trip?

But, guess what? When I’m alone at home during weekend with 2 boys, it is really useful to have different kind of toys to occupy my prince’s free time. They will play on their own most of the time, of course, half of the time, screaming calling Momi for helps like “Momi, you see Jonathan. He doesn’t want to play with me” “Momi, you see Iz. He take away my toys”……Never ending.

The best part is, the outcome:

Jona & Iz just love their LEGO blocks so much. When they play with their LEGO, they are so creative. So far, I only teach them how to build house, farm animals, car etc. But, not so advance like Dinosaurs, etc. And, the second time, they play, they able to build house even better than me, and start making ‘swimming pool’, bathroom, set house alarm, make farm animal, etc..

This is Iz creation. His 'house' got many doors, windows, and bathroom with alarm system. Got tv set as well, and several beds for people to sleep and sheeps to sleep too.....

This is Jona creation, rebuild it second time after being 'destroy' by Iz when Iz is angry.....half way build(still under construction, I gues)

Doesn’t it look so nice & creative?

And, when they are bored with LEGO blocks, they will start drawing on piece of paper ~ anything that flash on their mind. Jona really able to draw better than Iz, and always end up, he is helping Iz with the drawing. But, before he helps Iz, he will say “Why you don’t know how to draw ar? If you don’t want to draw and keep ask me, then, why Momi need to send you to Art class?”

Fully occupied my fridge space with their creative drawing ~ crab, tree, flower, kite, sun, heart, honey in jar, apple, etc...(upper part belong to Iz and below part is Jona drawing)...

Seeing how their occupied their free time on weekend, I guess I better buy more stuffs esp LEGO blocks/drawing apparatus for them, what do you think, worth my investment on previous toys hor? I think it is time for me to go for some shopping since I have more free time when on biz trip rather than at home. Wondering whether LEGO will be cheap here in Oz/NZ compare to M'sia?

It is getting cold now.....

My travelling season started again, and soon, I will be travelling to Australia & New Zealand.......some of you might think it is fun and wonderful, but, I feel a bit sad. Why? Let me tell you why.....

Past few days, I told my boy boy that I will be going outstation again ~ Australia. And, guess what are their response?

Jona: Hooray!!!! Then, Dadi can take care of me everyday (haha....he is very timid, even though we all sleep in one room, he still insist that when Dadi not around, I need to sleep in between of him ~ in single bed and Iz ~ in King size bed. But, I reluctant as it is not comfortable at all). And, you just buy anything for me.

Iz: Then, you can buy for me the 'chop' in Red, yellow, Purple colour....and also buy for me the remote control boat where I can play on river........

See, you say I feel sad or not :(. Come to think of it, maybe, my boy get used to it already that Momi need to travel to earn more money, and they are now happy about it and used to it already. Guess I should just be happy with the travelling right? And, buy them some more 'stamping' stuff as they wished........




Note: This is Jona's art of using stamping to create the 'body' and then, use pen to draw the hands and legs, mouth and eyes ~ for me, I guess it is how he differentiate between girl and boy, haha...girl with some curly hair and red lip!!
