This is LiN's Life

Have you ever known of the weird kind of relationship that mid age women hav with their cats? Well, my mum and Yayang, my cat, hav tat kind of relationship. At times, you could see my mum reprimanding Yayang, like she would to us when we are mischevious.

For example, few wks ago, my very laid back cat, decided to try a little trick on my mum. She stole the ikan bilis which my mum had placed on the table meant for that days' Nasi Lemak. Unfortunately, she was caught in the act. My mum scolded her and threaten to "cili" her if she do it again. (When we were young, if we were ever naughty, "cili" is what we would get. Of course, years later we cant live without cili.)

Ikan bilis is definately Yayang's favourite and so she did it again. This time round, my mum really did smear a bit of the Sambal Tumis on Yayang's mouth. To this, my cat simply licked the Sambal off her mouth and simply sashayed away. My mum was fuming with anger.

And yet, sometimes during my weekend visits, we would see my mum sleeping with Yayang snuggled between her arms. Such was the relationship between them.

Last wkend, my mum complained of Yayang scratching her cheeck which turned out to be a nasty wound. Even after medication, Yayang was still scratching her wound and so last Thursday, we brought her to the vet. Little did we know that it would cause her more "suffering".

Just look at how pissed off she looked........

You should see the way she moved now, she sways like Snufflelofagus (the big hairy elephant)....sooo kawaii....

This time round, my mum simply said "Padan muka!" and she sashayed away....

Ohh...tis is hot off the racks...

I was goin to the other room to get the stuff for tommorrow's class when the "dumb fool who refuses to open up his mind" was like "Im goin there, let me do it, u stay here". Tats kinda weird for him to be sooo helpful. So I gave the list to him. It was quite a long list, so I decided to drop in to help carry it up.

However, I found out wat his real intentions were as soon as I dropped into tat room. I caught them, the "dumb fool who refuses to open up his mind" and " the idiot who tries to act smart" gossiping. As soon as "the dumb fool" caught sight of me, he waived his hand, as though to warn her. STUPID! I am quicker than his hands.

Till this moment, they still cannot look at me in the eye. Apparently, they were gossiping abt me. The "idiot" tried to make small talk, but I made it clear to her that I am not interested. It clearly showed wat kind of a stupid idiot she is.

Oh, the "dumb fool" borrowed a certain amt of $ to her, thus she is 'ever so kind' to him. Well, if it is the "stupid idiot", it will not be for a long time...

Lets see wat else are they up to....

I could still remember the smell of crispy $50 bills coming out fr the ATM.

Yet a wk later, my acc is down to zero, zilch, kosong!

This is when my big pink calculator will emerge as I check and recheck my budget and receipts. But only when I see the number appear under the Balance column in my bank bk, will reality then sink into this brain of mine.

I have been praised, not once but twice by insurance agents, on my detailed budget/ expenditure list tat I religiously draft out every 11th of the month. I am for one, a very calculative person, counting every dollar and cent that is spent. Keeping each and every receipt, which btw never fail to irritate my hubb who calls them "junk".

Yet despite all this, I am still left with the big qn
"WHERE HAV ALL THE $$ GONE TO?"

guess I'll juz hav to stay home till the next 12th.....

p/s: R u still wondering if I really did smell those bills?

Hey there!
A bug juz landed on me nosie, the flu bug. So Im gonna hav to make tis a fast one.

Ive been MIA coz Ive been bz wif preps for my prac test. It was like wen I sat for my O, practising over n over again. Infact, I was rather confident of passing. (If u know me, I dont get confident tat easily.) But tis time I was, I know I could do it.

BUT, on my faithful Practical Test Day, it rained lotsa cats and dogs, there were thunder too. I had cleared all the circuits perfectly wif only the parallel parking to be done. I admit, my parallel parking was ok, other than not parking straight occasionally, but still within the lot. BUT on tat rainin day, I can hardly see the rear windscreen, I hit a kerb. I forwarded and when I reversed again, I hit the pole down. SHIT!

And silly me, I tot I had failed immediately! My confidence was going down the drain but I kept telling myself to do my best. UNLUCKY was the word, as soon as I came out of the parallel lot, a student swerve into my lane, from a minor lane, causing a jam brake. Thats not the end though, further down the road, an instructor came out fr a parked car and the tester jam brake again. I mean I would understand if it was a student, but an instructor!

At the end of it I had two immediate failure coz I took > 5mins for parallel (which I dont think is true) and something like " unable to take proper action due to road hazard caused by others". I guess I can always try again....in Sept! Can u believe it!? The next test date is in Sept! Tats 1.5mths away!

Oh my hubb was kind n sweet. Knowin I need some cheerin up, he left his wrk early, travelled fr Outram to Woodlands and brought me to the pasar malam. Finally, after months and months of lusting for him, Im able to sink my teeth into the sinfully delicious...RAMLY...Burger tat is...hehehe...

*Failure can be sweet too!*

Eh'Oh!
Remember how Teletubbies used to greet? I like the red one. But to date Im still confused, is it a she or a he?

Niwaes, been a wk since the sch reopened. I must hav been disillusioned in June, to think work is not tat bad. It took me only 1wk to start realising (again) tat I need to get out of here!

Immediately on the first day of school, the "dumb fool who refuses to open up his mind" gave me a refreshed version of his antics. (we will be at a work function on Monday wch is supposed to instill teambuiling and teamspirit)

Me: (Excitedly)Eh, morning got exercise. So must wear track shoes.

He: Wat! Got exercise! Aiyah! Better not ah! U remember, the biznessman who collapsed in Bishan, then recently got young man, t-cher somemore, collapsed on the way back home. Both die ah! Cannot anyhow exercise one. Later I collapse how?!

Me: Im sure they will let you sit aside if you dont want to exercise. I dont tink they will force you...

He: THEY BETTER NOT FORCE ME ONE AH! I WILL TELL THEM -GO TO HELL-AH! IF I DIE HOW?! THEY WANT TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY MEH?

Me: They muz hav some health prob tat they dont know of. Usually, I dont tink exercise will be so lethal.

He: U NEBER KNOW ONE WAT! U TINK THEY CARE AH, IF YOU DIE?

Me: (losing patience and eyes rolling) No lah! Of course they wont force you. (Getting more irritated) I tink if you sit out also, nobody cares!

I mean, 2 men who collapsed after exercising compared to the number of pple who collapsed bcoz they dont exercise! Wat da ****!

(Deep breath) Wkends' here so muz keep those bad karma away.

Pple, enjoy ur wkend!
