What a day!



Today Letitia the little monster above broke our digital video recorder. We usually leave it on the computer table and she is told not to touch it. Ya right! like she would listen. She apparently quietly sometime during the course of the day when we won't aware took the video camera played with it and broke the hinge the holds the LCD screen up. I looked at her and asked if she broke it and she burst into tears. Followed by a really guilty look on her face........ hai.....tsk tsk tsk..... what to do... who ask us to leave things around that is within her reach.

15 minutes later......

I was going to prepare her night feed for her and walked pass table where I was air drying her thermos flask. The last I remembered when dissembled the darn thing only had 3 parts. There was an additional black piece of plastic in the table.... Great she broke the thermos flask as well. The screw on top of the flask that allows you to dispense water by pressing on it..... Ya that part. She some how manage to snap some plastic bit off. Wah lao..... "Letitia............." I screamed. She came running and I held out the piece of plastic in front of her and asked, "Did you break this too?" She looked on the floor and glanced at me with her really large eyes swelling up in tears and nodding........ tsk tsk tsk...... hai ya......my fault again..... who ask me to leave it on a surface within her reach.......

I know its not her fault, but why do kids have to go round breaking things. Can't they touch see smell and put it back in one piece.

On a different note, today mummy went for a Javanese massage. It was in a little shop along River Valley Road. Let's just say it was value for money. If you are looking for cheap and clean this is the place to visit. But don't expect "Spa"tastic service. At $50 an hour its a good and quick get away. But there is one thing that I must recommend to those with a high threshold of pain. It's the Ginger Massage or a Javanese Lulur. They rub your entire body with fresh ginger, flip you over on your tummy cover your back with ginger slices and wrap you up in a towel. OH! the next 30 mins will be longest 30 minutes of your life. The heat generated by the ginger burns you.....BUT in a relaxing warm kind of way. The back feels really good..... you can feel your knots melting away...... but more sensitive areas like your calves may hurt. Think of cutting chili and your finger burning..... but its all over your body. Would I do it again...... maybe.

Conclusion: Try at your own risk not for wimps.
For wimps: Ask them to apply the ginger to your back only.
