The Sound Of Silence...

.
Ahh, it's the 2nd day of Raya and the neighborhood is pretty quiet and serene right now. I can't even hear a single firecracker being fired off. I guess all my Malay neighbors went back to their hometowns hence the quietness. But it is a nice feeling though. Even the sound of cars are all that much subdued. Makes it feel like I'm back home in my kampung (village).

The kids are pestering to go to the nearby shopping mall, one wants a new sports shoes while the other badly needs a haircut. He's beginning to look like a golliwog already. And the food is also fast depleting, we do nothing but eat when it's the holidays. What else is there to do anyway... hehehe. We tend to hangout more in the kitchen during the weekends and holidays, with the fridge being opened every few minutes!

Talking about sports shoes, I think I'm in need of a new pair too. Mine has been with me since 2002 and I think my legs have grown in size or the shoes have shrunk. I can't seem to fit into them... sighh... I know it sounds like an excuse but it really is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth :D

I think by the time I'm through shopping, I'll probably be broke again. It's not cheap going shopping especially when you bring two perpetually hungry boys along. They'll be wanting this and that and the younger one with his normal, 'Mommy, I'm hungry. Mommy, I'm thirsty. Mommy, I want a toy. Mommy can I buy this' mode. Sometimes he thinks I have a printing machine somewhere that prints money! (How I wish)

As I was saying, by the time I'm through with shopping I'm going to be broke so much so that maybe I should visit one of those online Casino sites on the net or something. I'm sure you know the kind I'm talking about. The ones like Casino.de that offers free games, poker tips and online casino advice. Come on, don't act innocent, like as if you haven't been to sites like these before... hehehe. Maybe I might just get lucky :D

That aside, I can't wait for tonight cos it's The Amazing Race Asia night and I live for Thursday nights... hehehe. From what I saw on the trailers throughout the week, it looks set to be another amazing race. Be sure to drop by here later for my updates on the race :D
