good life mommy!

joy was sick on tues morn. sore throat and muscles strain. she complained that she couldn't lift her hands to wash her face.

sounded uncanny but that's precisely how my girl is like. pampered princess lor.

i brought her to the doc, in fact, i had to hold her to escort her in, lest her strained muscles gave way, and she couldn't hold her stature upright, haha.

after the doc, we went to shop and save to top up some grocery.

passing by the coffee shop, she asked,"mommy, these pple got very good life leh!" (well, pardon her for her singlish; she just refused to change her style of speaking. i couldn't tahan it already!)

me: they are mostly retired folks or homemakers who could spare the time her drinking coffee, that's all!

j: r u one of them?

me: well, u knw my morn hours are more flexible, so i will probably be one of those drinking milo on one of the days!

j: wow, i dun mind having ur life leh! so relaxed.

me: joy, when i was working hard and being thrown left and right, were u even aware of it. u hv to understand that, in life, it's 先苦后甜！

well, that's the issue with young pple nowadays. everyone fights to have his sweet slice of cake, before even taking a plunge into hardship.

one thing i'm sure about, if joy were to hv my kind of life, she will sure go out of control and start piling on weight. afterall, she's such a food lover! in fact, she always said,"mom, dun cook good food for me leh. i can nvr lose wt!"

yet, each day back from sch, she will ask as a matter-of-factly,"hey mom, what are we having for dinner tonight!" how ironical!
