Inconsiderate parents

Just came home from The Chronicles of Narnia at the cinema.

It was a great movie and I would have enjoyed it more if not for a really irritating kid.

Now, this stupid kid kept making noises and going "ooh ah" and repeating each and every single line spoken by the 4 children in the movie, right from the start of the 2hour 20min show. He's such a nuisance that everyone else in the theatre were going "shhh shhh" and best bit of it all? The parents were oblivious about the din this brat was creating. It came to a point where I was seething mad that I exclaimed "Keep Quiet" after the "shhh shhh" obviously didn't work.

Did that shut the brat up?

Nope! He continued happily being a public nuisance and the parents were neither embarassed nor showed any real intent to shut their kid up.

At the end of the show, I saw the kid with the parents making their way out of the cinema (brat was still yelping away, I swear my dogs behave better than him) ..

We started talking aloud to each other.. purposely of course with every intent to be heard..

"Is that the irritating kid in the cinema?"
"Yes, and I think those are his inconsiderate parents..."

And guess what? Brat's parents were not apologetic at all and hollered at us with a remark "He's just a kid, let it rest"

I could feel the bf's boiling anger and I said it to the brat's father's face.

"Yes, we know he's a kid, but as his parents you should take him into hand and not defend him like this. And you are not even apologetic about the whole thing.... !!"

It must have finally dwelled upon the brat's father's head that maybe afterall his son was being irritating and he finally said the s-o-r-r-y word, albeit with a grudgingly look.

"Fine.. let the matter rest"

I said it to end the whole drama before an heated argument surfaced.

Brat's mum? She is the epitome of an all-accommodating mum who yields to brat's every whim and fancy. No wonder brat is so bratty.

I'm not mad with the brat, as much as I did with his parents. Brat being a kid possibly couldn't contain his excitement when he saw the almighty Azlan or the Ice Queen. But the very least the parents could have done is to discipline him, or take him out of the theatre if he can't stop making so much noise!

Don't want to because you paid $9.50 x 3 for the movie tickets on a public holiday?

Hey, guess what? All of us in the movie theatre did too.

Kid can't watch in silence? Get a dvd and play it at home. Your kid can yell and tear the whole house down, for all I care!

Grrrrr!!! *growls Azlan style*

Puppy talk

Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas!

While we were in the car today, he said something which I thought was meaningful.

Him: Noticed how the sun is out today and is shinning brightly?
Me: Yep, very hot day!!
Him: And noticed how it was raining the past few days before Christmas?
Me: Uhuh..
Him: Its like God is cleansing the world from its sins with the rain before Christmas!

Another puppy arrived on Friday. A 4 week old bichon named YingYing..

So now we have one Nana and one YingYing.. :)

Pictures of the cutesy and tiny YingYing. Mum could carry her effortlessly in one hand.


And more pictures of my Nana.



They are both from the same pet shop and its amazing how they are already toilet-trained. Nana pees and does her big business in the toilet as long as there are newspapers laid. YingYing although 4 weeks old, already knows how to go to the newspapers whenever she needs to relieve herself.

How smart!

But these two darlings are still at the early stage of sniffing each other out and occasionally barks non-stop at each other. Mum denies it but I swear its YingYing who bullies my Nana! Nana only wants to play and she means no harm.

And man, two dogs have already started barking.. Never a quiet moment in the house anymore!

Feeling Christmassy

Can someone tell me the lyrics for "Frosty the snowman" ?

Heh.

This is how I remembered it and its obviously wrong.. lol

"Frosty the snowman.. has a very shinning nose!!!"

Mum got her bichon yesterday, a tiny puppy of 4 weeks old. Nana seemed a little threatened with the new puppy and accordingly to my mum, Nana was ever ready to pounce on the little one although I kept defending that she was just being friendly... ;)

Christmas day tomorrow!!! haven't unwrapped my christmas presents and am dying to do so tomorrow!

Merry Christmas everyone and God bless!

Tagged!!

Got a taggie from Ren

5 weird things about me

1. I eat twisties and potato chips with a spoon. I will only use a spoon if I really have no choice.
2. I have a tendency to fall asleep in a jiffy when I'm in the car, even if the car is speeding real fast with music blasting. (not when I'm in the driver's seat of course lah)
3. I do not fancy eating vegetables because I think they will turn me green or orange (if I eate carrots)!!!! Yeah, I know its a silly theory.. lol
4. When I have butterflies in my tummy, I need to visit the loo and dispel the 'butterflies' as stools.. Thereafter, my nerves system regained its calm and serene state.. works everytime!
5. I need to adhere to my nightly ritual (stretch, straighten my two blankets, line my sidewall with a pillow, fluff my pillow for resting my head, hug my mickey mouse pillow, flip once to the right then back to the left) before I can actually fall asleep.

And... I am tagging the following to say 5 weird things about themselves!

1. Fang
2. Pam
3. Liz
4. Cass
5. Grrace!

A note to a friend

Dear you,

I don't want to pry into your personal affairs but I am worried for you. Looking at the matter from an outsider's perspective, my gut feeling and every sense tell me that this is no good for you. Its a deja vu feeling, almost.

I want to be happy for you really and do not wish to dampen your high spirits of a new relationship..

But sometimes I wish you could just see things a bit clearer..

I'm here for you in every possible way I can.

Love, me.

Girl Talk

There are many thoughts on my mind which I hesitate to express them freely on this blog. Yet withholding and bottling them deep within me drive me nutty at times.

And I'm glad I managed to pry the bottle cap open today.

Had dinner with Fang after work and there I was pouring out what was bugging me to her. She commented that it was somewhat strange that I couldn't confide those things in my bf, while I could let it all out in my conversation with her.

Strange? perhaps.

But after a hot shower and pondering about it with dripping hair.. I figured sometimes the fix we need is just to indulge in girl talk.

Yep, girl talk where girl talk to girl..sometimes aka as bitching... guys no matter how SNAG they are.. can never understand you as well as a fellow sista!

Thanks for hearing me out just now! ;)

"God loves you and so do I"

That coupled with a cheeky smile and a warm hug, cheered me up instantly!

She took off her friendster blog. Wondered if she realised I read it.

Of feeling misunderstood

"Work wise well i pick up things now and then. But i cant stand SC; Seriously i think i have nothing against newbies who work hard to achieve what they want in life. Afterall everyone has a dream to achieve something at work but .. i kinda dispise those who play tricks behind other's back and act as if nothing is wrong. Cant stand those who take that extra mile to get that kind of results. Well thats me. I guess at the end of the day its fate. Its all about how much we humans can accept each other as who we are instead of trying so hard to change ourselves to adapt to others"

18 Nov 2005, she wrote

It was very disheartening when I chanced about what she wrote... she being a colleague I work closely with at work.

Is that how she sees me? I searched myself and my conscience is clear. Playing tricks behind others' back is not my forte, neither is that a scheme of mine. I hate politics. And about me trying so hard to change myself? I do not compromise myself, my moral standards... and I certainly do not morph myself to become a clown to adapt to others. The only thing I tried so hard is to pick things up as quickly and as best as I could, so I can help with work proper.

My heart is sanked this instant and I am feeling very misunderstood... :(

Tata!
