What you wish you know?

I wish

...I know how to play the piano
so that I can play it whenever I feel down. Who knows I may probably write a tune or two (stop dreaming! how many Beethoven are there?).

...I can ride a bicycle
at least I can ride it with my husband or my son whenever we go for outing and not just wait and see by the side.

...I am a good chef
so that I can cook a dish or two during pot luck for family gatherings' and not having to buy outside food

...I can sew
so that I can mend a skirt or a blouse or even sew a zip for my kids' school pants without having to send to tailors

...I know how to write Chinese
so that I am not handicapped when I pick up the Chinese newspaper or reading signages especially Chinese menus

...I can afford to have more kids
so that I am not alone when I am old. I can have child No.1 visit me on Monday, child No. 2 visit me on Tuesday and so forth

Actually I can just go on and on. Aren't humans greedy and always ask for more?

How about doctors and lawyers? Aren't these respectable occupations? Oh yes, they are. And these earn a lot of money too. I had even thought about whether I would be able to be a good lawyer as being a lawyer means one needs to ha...

Of Malaysian - more on our postmen

Letter flimsily left on my car windscreen When can they improve? Just when I thought things could not be worse, here is where I found my letter. I know why they place the letter everywhere except the letter box. Apparently, my car was blocking the postman's motorcycle's path where he could just drop letters into my letter box without having to get down from his bike. Now, this is convenience for them! So, who cares about poor service as long as letters are delivered..not in letter boxes? Do you notice the letter was not even placed under the wiper in case it may fly off?

Books which collect dust

So little time, yet so many things to accomplish. Now, when will I have the time to read the books I bought? There are at least 5 books that I have bought but are now sitting uselessly while accumulating dust in the book shelf. Some of them are just flipped for a few pages and later abandoned again. I feel so sorry that these books are not read yet for its contents. I'm sure there are intricacies,wonders and amazement waiting to be discovered by reading them. But, what will power do I have to pick up one and start reading regardless of my busyness?
