3. Reading " my paper 我 报 " Not long ago, I picked up 我报 and it's such a pleasure reading it. Beside having Logic 9, another version of suduko, their contents are rather comprehensive and interesting. Most probably also their fonts are bigger and with fancy headings and illos, making the paper reading more fun. Below is article abstract from 28.11.06 星期二 我报 page 19 提 高 A Q 当 不 死 苍 蝇 ! 我有一个非常悲观的朋友，不论遇到什么事情总是往最坏的地方想。 买错了一双鞋，难过了一个星期； 被老板批评几句，担心丢饭碗，愁眉不展是她的心态。
有一天，我 Ms Shenton 看到了一个名词：逆境商数 (AQ, Adversity Quotient), 马上就让我想起这个朋友，因为她的 AQ 特别低。 什么是逆境商数？说的简单一点，就是遭遇到逆境或者不顺利时，心里的承受能力。
我们经常会碰到一些自己解决不了的问题，可是自己的问题总还是得自己解决。加强自己面对逆境的承受力，这样才能靠自己的力量解决自己的问题。 Wow kow! Finally finish typing this using hanyupinyin! Cant believe during school day, I actually gota 1st in an hanyupingyin competition... now I took almost half hr to complete this! Hmm... time to brush up my hanyupinyin too, if not how to teach the girls then... -_-" *sweat*
This article inspired me alot though the idea of being an HOUSEFLY is very U-N-C-O-O-L-E-D ! And I thought they are actually 莽头苍蝇 anyhow bombard... -_-, the writer had beautified them... kekeke...
Anyway I want to be an beautiful, high AQ butterfly! Heeheehee :p
Last night my maid told me our neighbour below our unit was angry with her and accused her for dumping food out of the kitchen window and stained her cleaned laundry. But my maid told me very firmly that she did not dump any food out of the kitchen window.
"How ah?" I asked my maid. "I would like to trust you but we are staying at the top most floor and aunty just staying below us? There are no others suspect except us?"
" I also dono why but I didnt throw..." said the maid very firmly.
I am very sceptical but from what I know of her, she is very honest and obedient... " Alright, I will look into it..."
Then when we were having diner, our door bell buzzed... Is our neighbour, brought with her the evidence... there were some rice stained and a... SNOW PEA! That was one of our tonight veggie... so coincident?
The maid saw the snow pea too and remark " Yah ha? Why got same as our dinner? " but still she denined.
We felt sorry for what had happen on our neighbour but at that moment, we really cant do anything except to reassure her that our maid is aware that she cannot throw things out of the window.
Luckily the neighbour didnt persue further...
I cannot understand why the maid will want to throw the food out of the window... I called up my mum and no, not possible my two cousins as mum saw both of them finished their dinner.
Then just now, mum called me telling me that my cousin saw my maid last night glazing at the kitchen window with my girl's bowl in her hand, she had just finished feeding my girl.
OMG!??? I cant help but being paranoid! Is she suffering from illusion! How am I possible to put my girls' safety on this was honest and obedient maid ???
Now I recall something notable for year 2005... that is " My Wonder Twin Power Girl " site! And what wrap up beautifully is I finally have two vistors and they are vyvy & mel . They came last minute on the 30 dec and 31 dec respectively! WELCOME !
Next month today will be Chrismas Day! Yeah my favourite festive season, not because of religion, just that I enjoy this beautiful and wet but warmth festival. You can see everywhere are decorated with sparkling ornament and colourful light. Singapore is all year summer so during year end no snow but rain alot and this chilled down our atmosphere. And the best part about christmas is buying presents and receiving presents! So here is my 10 Christmas wish.
7 ft tall Christmas Tree (for next year of course).
Yesterday we finally selected our new maid and will be sending the current one home once the new one arrive. The current maid is our first employment and initially we are quite satisfy with her. But lately she is consistantly giving us problem so we decided to terminate her earlier. I did an Root Cause Analysis and Defect Prevention, hoping the 2nd maid can last longer. The mistake we had made... 1. Let the maid choose what to eat resulting she is picky with food. 2. Let the maid dine with us resulting she is too liberal. 3. Did not enforce what we had said resulting she did not follow instruction. What I have learn from the first employment... 1. Never do something infront of her if you do not want her to follow because they will always monkey see monkey do. 2. Never empower your maid because they will never know where is the line. Always keep the line clear. 3. Must always follow up with her performance because once you slacken, they will slacken. And lastly, I am inspired to contemplate writing an Maid Management Guide!
