Wanted to read this book for sometime. Saw it on sale in Popular today, bought it and just finished reading it. I like it. I enjoy Sophie Kinsella’s style of writing. It cracks me up..literally. I can be laughing out loud when I am reading it. Anyways, now I understand why the Sunflowers illustration on the book cover.

Relationships are so hard to master. Is there someone in the world with the perfect relationship with family and friends and colleagues? Perfect not as in just happily complementing or accomodating. But perfect.  I should think not because the world itself is not perfect I guess.

When I was in my primary school, my mother would often bring us to her sisters place so she can play mahjong or chit chat with them. Together with our cousins, we will then roam the estate of Tanah Merah exploring all the playgrounds in the area, break into houses under renovation to kaypo, find petshops to terrorise the animals. Sometimes, we will behave ourselves and watch chinese movies on rented VHS tapes. One of the movies we loved to rent were the vampire series movies. I remembered I always got quite scared after watching them.

Dar has been downloading movies online and I managed to find the movies. Brought back lots of memories for me. We were so young and carefree at that age..

And now I find the movies hilarious instead. Look at the cute little vampire!

What is trust. Each’s interpretation of trust is so different..

I seriously cannot take it when I get bad service. Just told off this stupid woman whom was totally rude through sms. I’m too polite to say it to her. It will be embarrassing especially for someone younger to reprimand her. I may not be ‘rich client’ she is hoping but in times like this, I’m sure any client is better than no client. Since she has so many clients, I guess losing me doesn’t make any difference. I rather have no deal done than tolerate such inexcusable lousy attitude!

I think it is not wise to trouble our grandfather to step out to talk nowadays anymore. Not that I doubt that it has any effect or value. In fact, its the effect and value that worries me. He is very very very old now. I can’t imagine what will happen to Singapore after that if he still wields such a strong influence. So he should just s-t-o-p. Say things about the weather, lifestyle or leisure if the urge to be in the limelight strikes.

Anyways, the last speech given on Singaporeans reproducing to self-replace – 2.1 kids. How hard is that?!? It’s not 10.1 what. What’s wrong with us? As long as out of every 10 families, one family has three kids, the rest has two, we will not need foreign talent which what the hullabaloo is about.

I made a count and most of my married friends have two kids and above. The problem now seem to lie with the singletons. I made another count and most of my friends are attached. NOW I see the picture, we have too many civil union relationships going on disrupting the natural cycle of life. This will result not in 2.1 kid per married couple but 4.1.

4.1 is never achievable unless we have six months maternity, fully paid hospital delivery charges and medical care for children till three years old, free childcare benefits and four days work week. In fact, that will totally encourage me to have 10 kids!
