Next year my daughter is attending kindergarten and here in big city, early education is not as cheap as you think unless you send them to KEMAS or pre-school. Hubby and I prefer sending our kids to private kindergarten for their early education because private kindergarten offer better option of early education which is really important to prepare them to face the much tougher subject and surrounding in primary school. We knew this  because we saw the difference of kids performance that attending private kindergarten and government kindergarten. How come? My eldest son attended private kindergarten and he can read both Malay and English books at 6 years old but our 2nd son which attended KEMAS (during our hard time) still can't read very well even after he graduated from those KEMAS! Luckily he is a brilliant kid and now he can read though not as good as his big brother.I am not saying those kindergarten is not good because some kids who attended it still excelled very well but maybe it was just my little boy who didn't pay attention at class...

Hubby and I will start our hunt for a good and affordable kindergarten for our beloved princess next week. So, not yet hunting but will be and hopefully can find one before December.. Oppps! Today is Friday and I am not suppose to spoil your Friday mood with this worries of mine.. I have lot of them recently... 

Okay, gotta go and find something to turn on the happy mood...Happy Working, Happy Friday & Happy Weekend!

Auditor-General's Report: RM3.73bil Overspent!

Yes, last night I spent my insomnia time reading the article about Auditor-general's Report and one article  about "Nine Minister or Depts Overspent By RM3.73bil" really caught my attention and wanna have my say over this overspent money since me too tax payer and as far as I knew they got those fund from our tax.

RM3.73bil???!!!! That's really a HUGE amount! If we divide those overspent money to Malaysia population which is approximately around 28M to 29M, everyone in Malaysia can be a millionaire and there will still around RM3.7bil to develop our country. But that's just a fairytale wishes since our leader will never think like that. If you read the link that I attached below about this overspent, you too will feel suspicious. Can you imagine how can they paid RM56k for a night vision binocular which price is only around RM2k to RM3k?! This finding make me wonder how terribly 'stupid' those people who handle the purchase of this item because even my 9 years old son knew it is irrational price..Sorry , sound harsh but that's exactly how I think of those people... Its also make me think that corruption might be involved all the way.. Wait until you read about the RM260m overspent by Ministry of Tourism on ads and also the purchased of 23 horses worth RM5.66m by the National Sports Institute.. Revelation like this really make me, a tax payer feel being robbed because the money I paid was not been used wisely but being wasted over something unnecessary instead! As for the excuses by MOE, to me it might acceptable since I don't mind spending more over education as long as they really spent the money on education development purpose!

It's true that we might never know the validity of AG's report but they won't come out with such report if it's not happening. I may not an expert, not even a person of wisdom and people might think that I have those qualification to give my say over this report but to me as a tax payer, who contribute to fund all of those government spending, I think I have the right to say something over this matter. And I say the RM3.73bil overspent really ridiculous and something should be done to avoid such waste as well as preventing our country to bear the burden of debt because of corruption that might involved.

Read below articles for yourself and be welcome to express your opinion.. 

Dept paid RM11,800 for RM3,400 laptop and printer

Animals purchased by sports institute did not compete in championship

Auditor-General: Tourism Ministry overpaid RM270m for ads

Want more articles/news? Haiya, just google it up okay and you'll find more!

Well, times up for me here. Need to go back to my invoices. So, Happy Tuesday & Happy Deepavali in advance to all Malaysian who celebrates this festival especially Hindu people..

P/S: This is solely my opinion and no political intention here but just my point of view over the AG's report.. I am a neutral when it concern with political view which mean I am speaking only for myself not for anyone else.. PEACE NO WAR! (^_^) V

Uncivilized Action Of Malaysian Audience!

I am not really motoGP fans but I do keep on tab about this sport because well ya my hubby likes this sport though he never watch it live at all. I guess maybe all of us knew that one of the popular figure in motoGP, Marco Simoncelli deceased yesterday at our very own Sepang circuit after involved in disastrous crashed with 2 other rider. I only knew about the news after reading one of my FB friend updates who was there at the Sepang Circuit where the accident took place.

Actually this post not really about the deceased rider but I am writing this because I felt disappointed with our peoples who throwing rubbish on the circuit after the organizer cancelled the race. From what I read from articles and people updates, the audiences were angry because the race was cancelled without detailed info and the news of Simoncelli death only announced after some of the audiences left. 

When I read this, all I can think about is, whats wrong with all those people? They were there, watching the whole accident right to their eyes and they still need a detailed info? OMG! Are they blind? Didn't they see that accident  might cost that man life? Those audience who throw rubbish really act like child throwing tantrums when something make them angry.. Geez, such a shame! Their action gonna cost our country it good image for sure..

You might think that I have no right to say anything about this since I am not there. You might even think that I judges without knowing the whole story. Ya, I realize that but I don't need the whole story to give my opinion about the audience selfish behavior because the proof is there. The rubbish won't scattered on the circuit unless someone throw it there, isn't it? So, in my opinion the audience action really unacceptable! We live in era of civilized country so act like one.. Only caveman showing tantrum like a child and even a caveman can act better than those who involved in littering the Sepang circuit..  

Ya, I am bit emotional because I love my country and I don't want such incident tarnish our country image. It's not only showed that the audience ( Malaysian mostly ) acted like uncivilized but at the same time it showed that the audience have no respect to the  deceased rider and his family! They said that they were not informed with the Simoncelli death but being there watching the whole episode of the accident they should know better that the result was fatal and instead of throwing rubbish, they should pray or at least hope that the involved family will get through the loss.

I always emotional when it concern with someone life.. I may not know Simoncelli and his family very well like those fan of him but I can feel the hurt and sadness of his family especially  his father who watched his son catastrophic accident. In fact, I can't imagine at all how terribly sad his father over his son death.

To all the audience who involved in those 'throwing rubbish' incident at the SIC yesterday; please do not do that kind of action in future. Remember that we Malaysian, rich with moral value that patience and understanding are among those good quality in us.. Ya, you might think that your action speak for yourself but in the end people worldwide still related it to our country image..

R.I.P to Marco Simoncelli and to his family, may God give you the strength to get through the lost.. 

P/S: - Really hope that world won't condemn all Malaysian just because of those uncivilized action..

       - Anyone who read this and happened to watch the GP race yesterday, please do not mad at me because I merely expressing what I feel about the 'throwing rubbish' incident okay..Moreover, no point to get mad if you are not one of them right? PEACE NO WAR! (^_^) V

      - HAPPY PINK RIBBON DAY!

Unexpected Gift!

It's Thursday and it mean 1 more day to go before weekend..(*winking)

Between my hectic day in office, I manage to sit down and write this entry that bugging me since Monday.. It's about my hubby..Nope, it's not a bad thing but quite a surprise for me because he is not a romantic kind of guy and honestly he never did any romantic stuff for me though I am okay with it since me too react awkwardly with romantic situation..(*Laughing)

Tada!! The content is secret but I guess you knew it

Last Monday, after fetching my kids at the day care, he then came to fetch me at my office, along with the kids. Then we went to the Giant, Puchong and asked me to wait in the car with the kids because he said want to buy some stuff. After half hour, he came back. I was not paying attention when he entered our car because I was busy playing games on my phone while the kids busy chatting and playing at the back seat. He put my favorite flower, roses and a gift bag on my lap and asked me to open it. Amazed, I opened the bag and found a Tomei jewel box inside.

I asked him why all of sudden? He said, " I never give you anything because I can't afford it before this. I know you never ask any but I want you have it. Just think of it as gift for our anniversary. "

I was speechless. I never expect this from hubby because I knew his character and attitude. Seriously, I thought he was acting really weird and lots of negative thinking started to cloud my mind. Where did he got the money to buy it? Why did he gave it to me? How ? When? etc... I barely uttered a words to him, not until after we have our dinner only then I managed to let out my mind. He laughed and said, "Is it really weird for guy like me to be a little bit romantic once a while? Seriously, no hidden agenda here. Its not that expensive but its sincere from me. Don't worry, I bought it with my own money that I save up without your knowledge. For that I am sorry and quit those negative thinking already."

That was 3 days ago. Now I am wearing it on my middle finger everyday upon my hubby request though I don't really like wearing any jewellery. Why middle finger? Don't laugh okay...Because it was the smallest one that Tomei can offer! Bigger than that mean I can't wear it at all..LOL.. To tell truth, I was really moved with this unexpected gift from my hubby because I saw the sincerity in his eyes when he gave it to me.. He is right, the gift is not that expensive but the sincerity is what I value the most..THANK YOU HUBBY!

The moral of the story, don't jump into conclusion before you understand the root/resource of something because you might concluded wrong. Obviously I jumped into conclusion by thinking that something is not right with my hubby unexpected gift just because he never do such thing in the past. Now I feel bad because I suspected him doing something illegal.. I am sorry hubby! This unexpected gift incident will definitely gonna be one of my sweetest memory...(*winking)

Time's up here! So, until later... HAPPY THURSDAY!

P/S: I don't wear my wedding ring because I lost it few years ago.

Pink Ribbon Month & Me

Bonjour! Comment êtes-vous? 

I think it's not too late for me to say "Happy Pink Month" to all women in whole world especially to my fellow blogger friend! I don't need to explain more since you can google it up and find thousand articles about this month of breast cancer awareness.

So ladies, have you done the BSE ( Breast Self-Examination)? Well, I have to thank my dear blogger friend, Just because her recent post remind me of it.So, if you have not yet perform it at home, hurray-up do it soon. If you don't know how to do it, check out this link---->BSE 

Some women might say, what for? It's not like it can save us from death. Yes, it will not but at least we can detect any early symptom that might give us more chance to be curable than doing nothing at all. Moreover it show that we are responsible of our own body and health. I really am not keen with people who surrender before fighting. I always adore those women who suffered with breast cancer that keep fighting and never lost hope till the very end though it seem like they were in loose end. We have a lot to learn from them; their courage, their determination and their will to survive..Those women really are amazing!

This year, the Pink Ribbon Day fall on 24th October (next monday) so show your support ladies! Those who want to donate, you can go to breastcancer.org and make your donation. Pssttt, I donateD all my not much earning from surveyhead to Susan G. Komen Organization, one of organization that actively involved in Breast Cancer campaign though I did wish I donate it to local organization instead..Ya, it's not much but at least I did my part..

Boss is here, so gotta go! Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Losing The Passion Of Blogging?!

Considering the way I updating my blog nowadays, seem like I am losing the passion of blogging but the truth is I will never stop from blogging/writing because it is my way of expressing myself and my point of view of everything that crossed my mind. So the answer is NO WAY and NEVER WILL I. Yes, I rarely update my blog but it not because I am losing the passion in it but it just because I don't have free time to post a new story/opinion plus I don't have an idea of what I am going to blog about..

Some people like to share what they do in their daily life, some like to re-share the latest news, some like to blog about places, some like to post about food and in fact everyone have their own idea to blog about. But I don't have a specific idea because I like to blog about everything! Ya, I am blogging for fun but at the same time I take seriously the content of my post because I want people who read my blog to know where I stand on certain issue/matter and then ponder with the pro and con of those issue though sometime I become too emotional in my post..(LOL)

I am not one of those who can write a new entry right away in front of their computer! No, I am not that good because normally I need to draft my idea before I can write it right away. Okay, okay, I know you might laughing right now but seriously, I really do that.. Recently I can't draft my idea because I fall asleep after I  am done with house core on week days and that prevented me from posting new entry! Weekends? Hubby and the kids monopolized our computer, playing ANGRY BIRD! Yep, all of them including my youngest son. 1 against 5? I am hopeless right? (*sobbing)..

I wish my hubby never started playing those addictive game! But at the same time I enjoy looking at them because during those time I can see how close my hubby with my kids.. That's why I gave up to them.. It's not like they play it everyday but only weekend right?

You see, I thought this gonna be a very short entry but its more than 3 paragraph already! Got to stop here because hubby and the kids are waiting.. 

Happy Sunday everyone!

P/S: Please check out my WW entry next week okay.. (muka x malu ba ni..hihihi)

Happy 31th Birthday Hubby!

Image By Mr. Google

Yep, today is hubby birthday and as mine he doesn't want to have any special celebration. Keep praying for me so that I can be a better man, he said that. I don't buy anything special for hubby so I decided to write a special post about him so that people will understand why I stay by his side.

He is come from a very different kind of background than mine. His parent divorced since he was just a toddler and remarried again. Hubby been through a very harsh and sad childhood. His siblings and him was raised by his father and stepmother because his mother (MIL) couldn't afford to support them back then. He said they were treated kindly at first but everything changed after their stepmother have her own kids. He said he became spiteful and headstrong because of his childhood experience.

When I got to know him 10 years ago, he was still in devastated state because being dumped by his Filipino girlfriend. He was jobless and have to quit from continuing his study at FIT (Federal Institute Of Technology). If I think back, his life story also one of the reason why become closer to him. I feel sorry for him because he have that kind of background. 

I knew he was not ready to marry anyone when he said he will took the responsibility of me 10 years ago but still he did marry me. He can just leave me because I doubt that we were really in love back then yet he stayed. His family especially his father said that he can never be a good person and for that I feel so bad for him. He adore my father more than his own father though he only talked with him via phone call and never meet him in person. When I asked why? He said, I long for a father who can advise me through my good and bad time, who still proud of me though I made a mistake and who will never look down at me. I envy you because you have one..

Being a mere human being, he has many flaw but he is a very good father to my children and a good husband as well. Our marriage is not based on fairytale love story but we learned to love each other and as time passed by, our love grew stronger and stronger. Too many obstacle crossed our relationship but we managed to overcome it and here we are still together despite of some people prediction.. Life is so unpredictable..

Talking about him and us gonna take me forever so let me just concluded it here. I stay by his side because now I love him, because he is a great father to my kids and also because of his courage/responsibility in life.. What more can I ask when I have this kind of man in my life?

To my dearest hubby, on this special day of you, I wanna wish you a very happy birthday. May everything you dream of will come true..I love you!

To all my blogger friend, Happy Friday and Happy Weekend in advance!

P/S: Once in a while jadi jiwang, buli ba kan...(*wink2)
