2011 - Let Me Introduce Me

Today is the 1st day of 2011...I think it is time for me to come out of the closet and at the very least reveal my real life & perhaps by sharing my daily ups and downs as a "second lady"...

It is a deep secret that I have carried with me for over 13 years now...a burden that I must unload now in order to keep my sanity.

All these years, I cannot claim the man to 'belong' to me - for he does not. Another woman has a legal claim over him. However, neither can I claim to 'possess' his heart; for he has refused to be with me legally despite repeated appeals.  

I do however have with me three precious "gems"...my boy & two girls.

For the man, I shall named him as W. My eldest, a boy is going to be 12 this year. I shall named him H. My second, a girl is going to be 11 this year. I shall named her T. Last but not least, my youngest, a girl that is going to be 8 this year. I shall named her Y...

With these introductions, I hope to share & unburden myself with the secret life that I must live thru daily...and those of my three "gems". For we are not a family, we are merely broken pieces that may never come together...

With a Hugh Pinch of Salt...

Another day, another story in the local newspaper...which after reading it, would lead to the conclusion that these type of stories are "sensational news" - just for the sake of attracting readers' attention and perhaps tempt you enough to buy the newspaper & read it.

Berita Minggu - reported about a local businessmen who lost over RM1mil to a group of pickpockets at a mall in Subang Jaya.

The incident happened when two women, believed to be Filipinas, pretended to drop a mobile phone in front of the victim to distract him while three men picked his pocket of S$450,000 (RM1.05mil) in cash.

A security guard who saw the incident notified a nearby police station which dispatched officers to go after the pickpockets. Two of them were arrested while crossing the SS17 area.

The businessman was shopping with his wife when the incident happened.

Who walks around a shopping mall with S$450,000 in his back pocket???!!

Enough said.

Do You Keep RM150,000 in Your Home?

This question begs to be asked because it would seems very logical and sensible no one in their sane & right mind would actually keep such a large amount at home...but lol and behold, someone actually did. In the form of jewelry! Geez! RM150,000 worth of jewelry was sitting in the house when the robbers came knocking last night...

Here is the gist of the story...

MALACCA: Five masked machete-wielding robbers left not only with RM150,000 in cash and valuables, but also some words of advice for their victims.

The robbers had entered the house in Taman Batang Melaka at about 9pm and held up tuition teacher M. Sashi, 35, who was giving lessons to six primary schoolchildren aged between eight and 11.

They tied him, his wife and elderly mother before forcing the children to lie face down and remain silent.

One of the pupils’ uncle, who came to fetch his 10 year-old nephew, was also held and tied up.

Jasin CID chief Asst Supt Ahzarha Abdul Rahim said the robbers, believed to be in their 20’s, stole an estimated RM150,000 worth of jewellery, an LCD television set and RM1,500.

I don't think there is any cure for stupidity...
