so that's the new pair of suede brogues i said i was going to get. it's in bright pink actually. got it from peacocks london for rm89 which i think is pretty reasonable. of course i have the purplish / fuchsia-ish suede ballerinas from tod's which i have still not worn. but never mind that. (refer to one of my wordless weds post).
so how have you been? i've been awfully busy at work but otherwise, all is Alhamdulillah, okay. It's just that the same can't be said about weekends. my weekends are just so mundane these days. no amount of books could help replace that sense of boredom. i even contemplated taking impromptu day trip excursions out of the city but hubby wasn't entirely game for it. sigh...
anyways, remember the book battle hymn of the tiger mother which i was going to get sometime earlier this year? well i'm on it right now and the book is really darn good!!! i foresee myself adopting the Chinese style of educating the child. ( i am already labeled as borderline abusive) so it won't be difficult to adapt this system. yes, and to those who might not have already known, i can be very hard on Ian when it comes to discipline. even my parents think that i am a bit too harsh on him sometimes. yes yes, so he's only 5. but if he can't get his writing down pat I've no problem tweaking his ears then. call me cruel, but just like other Chinese parents (i am using this term very loosely, other race would have adopted this system too) we always push for the best and i think it's true, what we are doing is just to prepare him for his / her future. of course if not done right my son will grow up hating me or having a breakdown to his nervous systems (mintak simpang)... But we always want the best don't we? even my parents pushed me hard (not as hard as Amy Chua but just as hard) and I think i grow up okay. :P
Kenapa kasut you semuanya cantik2? hahaha. Eh babe, (macam biasa i ketinggalan kan), what's the book is all about. Sounds interesting. Hmm... ok google now. :)
ReplyDeletetakde la semua kasut i cantik2... tapi i suka beli kasut la ( i think you pun sama). hahahaha!
ReplyDeletethe book is a bout this american chinese who raised her daughters the chinese way. she also made a comparison between the chinese way and the western way of bringing up a child. it's a very interesting read really, also there's satirical humour thrown in. but i like the way she really pushed her children to excel. they are both extremely high achievers (child prodigies in fact!). it's also a true story and very recent. Tu yang buat lagi best nak baca... :D
Hahaha!! I rasa you lagi suka kerap kot beli kasut! and that one in the photo, sangat cantik hokeh! :)
ReplyDeleteOk.. that book memang sounds interesting. (walaupun i ade lagi 4 buku beli 3 tahun lepas tak baca lagi), i will put this book in my next beli-buku-list. Insya Allah :)
