Little Cozy Corner

Got this off Dabido who got it off a friend on MySpace. It an Adult Survey - so here’s your chance to get down and dirty. At least try to be honest lar, I know there are many ‘angels’ out there, I *may* be one too! 

1) Ever been to a strip club?
Can you believe I have not?! I can’t believe it either and to think I was in Amsterdam too. Cis!!

2) Ever been to a bar?
Yes

3) Ever been kicked out of a bar or a club?
No - I’m too self-conscious to be kicked out of a club.

4) Ever been so drunk you had to be carried out of somewhere?
NEVER!! I’m always the most sober in the group that people can’t believe it. Heh. I have a reputation to maintain ok? *ahem*

5) Kissed someone of the same sex as you?
Not a lip to lip one but kissing on the cheeks are kind of normal.

6) Thrown up from drinking too much?
Yea, once….that’s why I hate Tequila. Thinking about it automatically brings bad memories and the stench of thrown-up char koay teow and kerang plastered on the walls of my hostel. Bluergh!

7) Had sex in a car?
No - I think I’m not flexible enough lar.

Had sex in a park?
No - I’m not that much of an exhibitionist nor a voyuer.

9) Had sex in a cinema?
No - I’m as boring as Dabido!

10) Had sex in a bathroom?
Not yet, haven’t figured out who goes where!!

11) Had sex at work?
Oooooo…..no.

12) Have you ever been in an “adult” store?
Yup…errmm, not really la. Ted wont let me in, he’s afraid I might run the card out!*evil grin*

13) Bought something from an “adult” store?
Someday soon….heh. *a more evil grin*

14) Is there anyone on your friends list you would ever consider having sex with?
Yes, but I was blinded by this huge crush I had one him but it has since died and buried more than 6 ft under. Plus the fact that he’s lost ‘it’. Saw him recently and I was like, ‘Egad!!! What was I thinking?!?!?!’ *rolls eyes*

15) Have you ever had a threesome?
Nup - I never share my man. *stands with arms akimbo*

16) Are your breasts real?
Yes?

17) Have you ever kissed a stranger?
Hehehehe…..I’ll leave this one for now. *gives cheeky grin*

18) Does anyone have naughty pics of you?
*Someone* has LOADS of mental naughty n cheeky pictures of me!!

19) Ever had oral sex in a nightclub?
See #8….siao arr??

20) Ever had sex with someone you met through Myspace?
I dont even HAVE MySpace…literally. It’s been taken up.

21) Who, on your friends list, will complete this survey?
I think those like-minded as myself say…..Hedo, Luxferi [SOMEONE got new domain liow so have to break the seal] and maybe Merv? Oooo…I’m sure BeerBrat’s got lots to share too!!

Ppssttt…Pelf, I’ll do you, if you do me. Heh.

Have you ever went to an auction before to bid for something? Be it on eBay [Do they even have it in there?] or perhaps bid for a house or a really nice painting? Me, I’ve never done it in my life but just imagine what it would b like if I bid for something, say a 1.5 Liter 16 valve in-line 4-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-I) technology for [let's get really ridiculous here] $100 and I win it because I was the lowest bidder? Wow, I would want each and every one of you to pinch me so that I know I wasn’t dreaming!!! Like most auctions, the norm is that the highest bidder get the prize but not for bid4prizes. 

Bid4prizes has a unique and attractive twist to it - it’s the lowest bidder who wins the prize! Perhaps I should check this  site out to see if there’s a brand new laptop I could bid for….and if I get it, then Sis would have a brand new laptop and I wouldn’t need to fork out any $$….YAY!!!

Got my pay today and almost half has gone down the drain thanks to my having to change my almost obsolete motherboard due to one of its capasitors which was near to exploding. PC was giving me trouble whenever I tried to start it and sometimes, when times are REALLY bad, it takes me at the very least, 10 re-starts before it spurts to life. I guess Thursday was the final straw and into the sickbay it went.

So I got me a new motherboard, new casing and a new floppy drive [like as if I need it at all!] and it cost me quite a bomb, to say the least but what really pissed me off was the fact that while I was waiting for the lady to fit in my DVD burner and restart it, my spare HDD ‘blew up’ right in front of me. So there goes my additional HDD. Thank goodness that it was an old HDD which was only 4GB - yes, it was a REALLY old one which I was using during my college days but still it served me well. I was really upset because although that HDD was small in size, it contained most of my old digi-pix from day of yore. It was really painful to note that those pix would not be able to be retrieved anymore. Good thing was that I did burn most of it before hand! In any case, I am still VERY upset.

But it’s a great feeling to be able to get online from home again. Hopefully Streamyx doesn’t act up on me again….

When I started working again at my old office [where I am at now], it was good to get in touch with my vendors and some of whom have become personal friends of mine over the course of 2.5 years I was with this company. Just before Chris went on maternity, Joey dropped by to say hello and we started chatting about life down under and how much life has changed since we found out about Kecik.

As we chatted about this and that, she stopped midway and told me that I talk ‘different’ these days and that I have ‘changed’. I didn’t really understand what she meant until she said that perhaps its due to the pregnancy that my outlook and view of things have changed and stuff I talk about has also changed.

Then I realized what she meant. Looking back at our conversation, I remember talking to her about the future…how important education is and how tough it is bringing kids up with the cost of almost everything going up [except our salary of course]. I also told her that everything about ‘me’ has taken a back seat and now, everything I do has got something to do with Kecik ie planning for an education fund, thinking of whether I should be a SAHM or continue working, planning our future vacations so that Kecik will be close to both paternal and maternal grandparents and of course, or financial stability so that we can live comfortably.

When I sit back and reminisce on the things that I think about these days, I amaze myself because part of me cannot believe that I’m thinking of such ‘matured’ issues. I never thought that I’d have to face it and never really knew when I would face it. But most of all, I used to think that I couldn’t handle it and would not be prepared for it, if it ever happened. However, I seem to be able to absorb all this ‘commotion’ with surprising ease and calmness. I’m not sure how well I’m handling it or if I’m even handling it properly but things seems to be flowing in a rather proportionate speed and I don’t feel as if I’m being swept away by some powerful current, nor do I feel as if I’m drowning in an abyss of helplessness. Perhaps I’m too laidback and the happy-go-lucky kind to allow too many thing to crowd my mind and emotion. Perhaps it’s the take-it-one-day-at-a-time character in me that is helping me cope with all these new changes. Or maybe I just have not reached that ‘dangerous’ level of realization that things are going to become very, very different in just a mere few months.

Heck, you know what…I’m not going to worry myself silly yet. I’ll worry when I need to worry or if I need to….but for now, I’m happy and contented. *Breathes in the wonderful aroma of a huge glass of teh tarik in front of me now and sighs blissfully*

Or at least, this is the reason that most parents have in mind when facing the trials of raising a [sometimes troubled] teen. I remember when I was growing up [not that I'm that old I've forgotten!], I didn’t really need a reason to rebel or appear to be totally out of whack. If I wanted to be spaced out and left alone, I’d do just that. If I wanted to run amok and go crazy with a bunch of other hormone crazed teenages, I would but if I wanted to scream my lungs out at home or be utterly rude or disrecpectful, I wouldn’t even try! There are some limits, that much I can say. But back in the day, parents never really had anything to read or turn to when faced with raising teens, especially troubled teens. I think many parents would either blame themselves or make things worst by taking the bull by the horns, worst still, if they think that Satan has taken over! Sometimes, force is not the way to do things especially with the rather fragile mind of a teen. I think it’s one of those nightmare periods as a parent.

But I guess in today’s world, help is all around and mostly in the form of informative sites that help with teen issues. Having such a helpful site such as Parenting Teens I bet is a blessing straight from the heavens when one doesn’t know how to deal with certain issues regarding teenagers.

After you’ve outgrown that stage in life and look back, you’ll begin to realise that teenagers indeed face so many obstacles in life peer pressure, self-esteem, communication and of course, the whole idea of sex. These are really hard issues to deal with as parents so by having such an informative site such as Parenting Teens, parents especially those dealing with troubled teens will certainly find this a big help!

As a matter of fact, maybe I should start preparing myself too….you can never have too much information, especially about how to deal with teenagers but I dare say that my parents handled us pretty well. *grin*
