I remembered when I was running my 1st half-marathon, at the 18km mark when I thought I was about to die, there was this lady, cheering and giving high-fives to runners. I was so motivated by her cheers and high-fives that I managed to pull thru the marathon w/o walking. And yah, you were right, some Sporeans were giving her the "eh, crazy woman" look. But I was very very grateful and impressed by her loud cheers and enthusiasm!Wen-aihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172686661966036174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-22264722471302297342011-12-07T22:24:56.437-08:002011-12-07T22:24:56.437-08:00Malar - It is never easy dealing with other human ...Malar - It is never easy dealing with other human beings but sometimes I think people don't even bother to try.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-865396263050738452011-12-07T22:02:15.601-08:002011-12-07T22:02:15.601-08:00Very tough to discuss subject!

Many couples here complain that they cannot handle their own kids during the weekend when the maid is not around, yet when they happily trot off to work, they leave one single maid to handle the kids, housework and everything else.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-75365691504387381152011-12-07T00:57:06.013-08:002011-12-07T00:57:06.013-08:00Awesome story.

Yeah doesn't make sense.<br /><br />You'd want the maid to be in the best place emotionally when caring for your kids, no?mooinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528203441804814127noreply@blogger.com
