Otherwise, I am very nice.

It is that time of the year when we look back at what we had done for the last 12 months in year. If you are working, I guess your boss probably has some appraisal for you. Since, I am my own boss, I shall look back and see what I had done.

Good thing about a blogger is I get to read back what I wrote. All 12 months of them, day by day.

So, in January 2009, I was taking my citizen journalism course at Aliran. Attending the course was like a ‘grown up’ thing to do because I spent all my weekends from 9 am to 5 pm at Aliran, learning something new. Jan 31, I blogged about tapau lunch.

Chinese New Year fell on January 25 (I think). I think I didn’t do any Chinese New Year gathering for the in-laws. Must make mental note to treat them to my Chinese traditional dishes come CNY 2010.

The highlight was my little boy who went to kindie at the age of six. It was a breeze sending him to kindie because both hubby and I were there. Hmmm…Hubby wasn’t working yet in January 2009.

And I think I love this post most about being an imperfect parent.

So, basically, January 2009 has been kind to me.

P/S : I am in a dilemma right now. Initially when we move here to Tanjung Bungah, I thought of changing my little boy’s school to St. Xavier Cawangan in Jalan Brother James, Pulau Tikus.

Now, hubby’s friend who is in the PTA in St. Xavier main said cawangan no good. My older sons said cawangan got lots of Indian gangsters. Wilson visited his old school and found it too run down.

The cawangan Primary One is afternoon session. The main is all morning session. With morning session, I get more time to do more CJ or do volunteer work or even go morning exercise after I drop the kid. With afternoon school, I get to wake up late. Arrggh…now I cannot decide.

• Someone pls slap this Penang State Exco in charge of tourism for me pls http://bit.ly/7Fe3Ms . At least Adun Jason is trying to help his ppl #
• People – Primary school choice – St. Xavier Air Itam or Pulau Tikus? Faster feedback pls. Main oredi cfmed one, shud change to cawangan? #

Finally, the Christmas tree is up but we cannot find where the lights are.

These lovely cupcakes are made by my niece’s friend. So, so pretty, right?

Today, my #1 son had a BBQ and CKT party at home. Yesterday, my #2 had another bash at a Muslim friend’s home. So, we decided to keep it simple and I didn’t call my in-laws nor my sisters. It is so much easier to cater to only one group instead of trying to take care of the in-laws, the relatives and foods.

I got a pretty gift from Lingzie. And it is another snowman! Such cute earrings, I love it!

I am so blessed to have a son who is into cooking because I love preparing for large parties. Now, I get to play along with the son. He made some agar-agar with sponge cake, topped with whipped cream and longan.

We had the usual barbeque stuffs like lamb chops, beef tenderloin kebab, prawns, chicken and etc. But the siew bak is of course my favourite.

I watched the roasted pork like watching TV ‘cos taking care of the meat is important to make sure that the skin crackles but not burnt.

Anyway..I am not sure if I am going to do any Christmas or New Year gathering because I am due to do my lasik with Optimax on 23rd December. Of course, it is not like I am crippled or something. The surgery only take a few minutes and heal in 24 hours. I have to follow some steps like not rubbing my eyes and no eye-make up for two weeks. But it is a good excuse not to feed the in-laws with this excuse, no? Kekekeke, I am so selfish.

Never mind, I am still getting a turkey this year since it will be good training for the son to roast a turkey. So, I still have to find people to eat that bird, whether I like the in-laws or not.

• I discovered that house parties minus the in-laws is peace on earth…No nid to entertain. Must make as family tradition. Shhh…kekeke #
• I wonder why ppl drink beer? It only fills up my belly, made me feel full and did nothing to the mind. Cannot berng, empty calories nia. #
• I hv a group of 17 yrs old girls singing Poker Face in the next bedroom. The wonder of hving teen boys..And no, I am not serving alcohol #

I am very busy helping my eldest son to prepare for tonight’s BBQ and CKT party. So, Astro was on TV and there is a program about Tiger Woods. By now, I hope everyone knows who is Tiger Woods? He is the child golf star turned into bigger golf star. The mom is a Thai, the father I not sure but orlang lah.

Tiger Woods have been mentioned in some parenting forum where the speaker shared about how Tiger’s father had influenced him alot in his golf career. Usually, fathers are reminded to be supportive of their kids like Tiger’s father etc etc.

So, recently, it was revealed that Tiger had been having a lot of affairs with a lot of women, some of them pornstars.

Nothing surprising, right? Men never can get themselves out of trouble one. They will always get into trouble, somehow, some way.

Then, I also read that the wife was so mad with him, she threw a handphone at him, causing his teeth to chip or something like that. I told a male friend and he doesn’t believe it until I showed him the news on several online news site. Well, believe it.

When you pissed a woman off like what Tiger did to his wife, a woman is capable of doing worse harm. What more, Tiger’s sms-es messages with a pornstar was published on the papers too.

The show I watched on Astro went on and on about Tiger Woods. They have experts trying to analyse what went wrong with Tiger. Some psychologists said Tiger does not fall into the category of sex addict (actually those are lame excuses men conjure up for their bad behaviour) and give some mumbo-jumbo psychological explanations.

Come on lah, no need to dissect so much one. Men are always like that. Bill Clinton did it. Napolean did it. King Henry did it. Rasputin did it. All the China emperors did it. Some of our Malaysian politicians did it. It is ingrained in men.

What’s so surprsing, right?

And hor, I forgot to mention. The wife said she is not divorcing just yet. Experts said it is because she was from a broken marriage and doesn’t want her kids to grown up the same. The 5xmom said, “She is smart. Make sure she gets all the legal things done, bleed Tiger Woods dry, get all the money and properties before she scram.”

Because at the end of it, the most important thing is to get the money. Usually, only men with lots of money get into these sort of troubles, ok? And don’t be the stupid woman who condoned your husband infidelity by playing the martyr. Some poor men also cheat but the wives are usually foolish to try to make it work or even worse condone his infidelities. Potong lah!

• The world is full of sohais http://bit.ly/8y0AtD and they usually come from Singkapoh #
