Have you ever had that "Aaarrrrgh" moment? The moment that makes you want to pull your hair and stomp your feet and go to the top of the mountain and scream and shout? Well, if you have, then do it. Why not? If you keep it all bottled up, you may feel worse.
Sometimes it feels good to have a good release, a good hair pulling, feet stamping, shouting moment. You will feel much better afterwards. It is much better than keeping it all bottled inside.
However, do remember not to say unkind words in a moment of anger because words cuts like a knife and once it is said, it can never be taken back. So pull your hair and stomp your feet if you want but think twice before saying anything in anger.

Have you stopped to smell the flowers today? I haven't. In fact, I haven't for a very long time now. I have been merely existing and going through the motions of life because there is too much to do. I think it is time to slow down to smell the flowers.
I will do that soon after the kids exams are over. I will take a breather. I will stop to smell the flowers and maybe plant a few too.

I Like Dreaming... because dreaming can take me anywhere I like to go at any time of the day. I can also look any way I want. Gorgeous, slim, sunbathing at the beach, that is where I am now. What about you?

Patience Is Doing Something Else While Waiting. How very true. I have two kids who take the longest time to finish their meals. Now, my ironing station is right beside the dining table. I have lots of ironing to do. So, these days, whenever I finish my meal, I would head over to the ironing board to press out some clothing.
In this way, I don't have to nag at the kids to finish their food. I can chat with them as they are eating and by the time is done, so are some of my clothes. I do this at mealtimes during lunch and dinner so I won't feel overwhelmed by all the ironing I have to do. It is spread out and at the same time, I am more patient with the kids over their tardiness during meals. :P

When life throws you lemons, what do you do? Do you rant and rave and get depressed? Well, its okay to rant and rave and get unhappy and sad for a while but we must learn to pick ourselves up and move on.
So next time when life throws lemons at you, why not make a glass of lemon juice, drink the bitter sweet taste and then move on? For life is like that. There will always be ups and downs. Enjoy your ups and don't dwell over the downs for it too shall pass.

Today, I'm going to move away from quotes and include some idioms in this blog. I have been teaching my children idioms, in Malay and Chinese recently. Idioms are fun. They are a good way to add some color to your language, just like quotes.
The idiom that comes to my mind today is "Add Insult To Injury" or "Rub Salt To Wound" or another idiom would be "To kick a man when he is down."
Why am I thinking of these idioms? My maid went back home during mid-contract and never returned. She is considered a runaway maid. I had to make a police report and had to pay a fine at the immigration when cancelling the work permit. That is certainly "adding insult to injury". Through no fault of mine, my maid did not return to work. I had to bear the expenses of renewing her work permit, passport and buy insurance and air tickets for her and in addition to that, I was fined.
