Last night I found out there is more things to write about that new neighbour of MIL.

In fact, not only MIL got the heck of it, her other neighbour (the other side) also got scolded! Can you imagine, MIL is in between the two houses, and that phsyco neighbour can have ‘war’ with the other one.

We have been living in peace without this new neighbour and suddenly they came and the whole neighborhood got stirred up.

Everyday when the good neighbour walks out, the evil neighbour would take out her underwear and her husband’s underwear and swing at the good neighbour. She is like trying to give bad luck to her and their children. I think she has mental illness.

I wonder if it is ethical for banks or credit card companies to pre-approve and send the cards to customers in their database, without the customers applying for it?

I have got these so called free credit cards many times without applying. They usually come with housing loans, or for existing current account holders.

Though they said the cards will only be activated upon our verification, I still think it is not right.

It is like encouraging spending, encouraging taking more loans through credit cards. What if the person receives it have very low self control, and see that they suddenly have so much of credits to use…

Not sure whether there are any regulation from Bank Negara to control this or not. If there is none, perhaps they should start regulating it! Talk about the young people not able to control their personal debts being a new social problem, they should do something about it…

In-law’s previous neighbour bought their own house and moved end of last year. The owner wanted to rent it out again, but has been vacant for quite a while.

A couple of months ago, a real agent came with an old couple. They liked the house but wanted a lower rent, so couldn’t make the deal. Somewhat from conversation between MIL and the agent, they found out MIL knows the owner.

Few days later, the couple came back and asked MIL’s help to talk to the owner to lower the rent. MIL is always too nice to reject others, so she helped them, and finally they moved in.

Then, nightmare began…

A couple of weeks after they moved in, the old lady started to scold MIL openly at the yard. MIL at first didn’t know Continue Reading »

On Friday 18 May, I went to China under a very short notice, to observe a new supplier’s work over the weekend. It was a very rush trip, with very little time for myself.

I arrived in Beijing hotel mid morning Saturday, had a short nap, went over to the Toy City to get some toys for my children within 30 min, and then went straight to the agency’s office and started working till late night. I still owe a friend to buy a table runner for her (next time ya?).

Sunday morning, flew to Shanghai, rushed to the agency’s office and worked till late night. Monday morning, flew to Guangzhou, spent some time arguing over their mistake, changed hotel, rushed to the agency’s office and worked till late night – same on Tuesday. Wednesday, left Guangzhou after lunch heading back to KL. What a busy schedule, so no chance to sight see and/or taste the delicious local food. Most of my meals were fast food, delivered to the office.

Anyway, what I wanted to highlight is the toys that I bought from Beijing. I bought a remote control helicopter for Ian. I always wanted to buy this and have been waiting for a trip there to buy. It is very cheap, much cheaper than Continue Reading »

Yesterday morning, I brought Ian to church for the first time.

I have been scouting around for a church to bring my children along. Finally decided to go to this nearby Catholic church. I told Ian the night before, and he is excitedly waiting for me to bring him to the church.

In the morning, at around 7am, he woke up by himself, happily reminded me that I needed to bring him to the church.

When we were there, it was so difficult to attend to him, coz he was so noisy asking very intelligent quesetions, and he keeps pulling the hair of the girl next to him! He wasn’t shy at all, he leaned on her when he Continue Reading »
