Gahmen Letters

I received two letters today from the government. One from the Ministry of Manpower and the other from LTA.

I knew I was going to get them but when I finally read the letter, I hate the feeling. Hate.Actually, feeling really lousy. MOM basically highlighted that I have changed maids for 4x already and in the event I change again, I may be required to attend an Employer Orientation programme or an interview to determine if I need any other assistance. They think I'm psycho.

The letter from LTA is basically a fine. $130  for driving on the bus lane along Upper Bukit Timah. It's one of those days when I had to manage 2 kids, we left early but there was traffic all the way to Dairy Farm Road. And I had to be in office by 9am for a meeting. I took my chances knowing that the traffic warden usually parked himself at the old Bukit Timah Fire Station. That morning, he decided that Rail Mall was a better place. Well, better place indeed for him.

Hubby suggested I go appeal but seriously why bother? I am at fault and I just have to pay that fine. I just have to remember to not do it again in future...and continue to pray that traffic does not crawl along that Bukit Timah Road... or pray that 2014 comes quick so all the construction and the roads that are always changing and meandering will go back to normal.

Driving Pet Peeves

I got my driving license right after college. That was like 20 years ago and I have been driving since then. I've met really good drivers, some bad ones and these are the ones that annoy me!

1) road hoggers - of coz!
2) those who cannot park within their parking lot
3) drivers who smoke and throw their ciggy butt out of the window - i sometimes wished I could pick it up and throw it back in the car! Burn them with it
4) road bullies who hides behind the curtain because they don't want other drivers to see who they are. To this group of drivers - you should wear a skirt!

We are 10!

We celebrate our 10th Anniversary today. And this is what hubby wrote this morning:
" Zan Mansor.... As we learn, let us share. As we take, let us give. As we weep, let us care. As we love, let us live.

The love that you shared years ago Is still as strong today at it was. First came Noor Adli then Noor Irfan > bringing much joy, love and happiness to celebrate as a family.

Happy 10th Anniversary !!"

To mark our 10 years together, we got these watches for ourselves....solid, reliable, special, treasured and lasts forever. InsyaAllah, so will this marriage. Amin.



11pm Monsters

I told Abang last evening that I had to work late. We will be staying over at my mom since hubby is away and it would be a challenge for me to go home with 2 sleepy/ sleeping kids.

Abang agreed of course and this is what he said:
Abang: "Yeah Mama, we cannot go home at 11pm because later the monsters will come out."

Me: "who told you that?"

Abang: I saw on TV.
