Two Sides To Every Coin

Justin Timberlake -highly overrated, not handsome, songs so so , performance blah....why all the hype. Add to that he seems to have a mother fixation and keeps dating women older than him - Cameron and now Alyssa Milano apparently - he should go back to Britney...they suited each other - mediocre teeny boppers but I guess he's not going to want to take over another man's kiddos.

What's with the War Crimes expo going on/about to go on at the PWTC? Do we need to attract unwanted attention from the US?? I think not. Just because some of the Arab countries are pumping in money into M'sia right now (think Al-R..... Bank/KFH) isnt an excuse to come over all holier than thou. War Crimes - US guilty? Most probably. Iran/Iraq guilty? Most probably. If you're going to present an expo on war crimes - try lah make it objective ....too much to ask I guess in M's..a.

DD was talking to herself yesterday and I murmured "I see", "OK" "And then?" while getting ready for bed...and she said "No no mumma dont answer me, I'm not talking to you - I'm just talking to myself" ! She has injured her leg yet again and of course the mandatory poo-bear plaster has been applied with much fussing and kissing of the offending injury - she is limping but only as when extra sympathy is needed - the limp miraculously disappears when something interesting catches her eye - then she's off like a bullet to investigate - selective limping going on with DD.

Am reading a book called Little Children by Tom Perrotta (movie is out at the moment)...quite a reflective read for all you with kids and husbands who are wondering what happened to their position as numero uno in their wife's affections. The book highlights various concerns pertinent to middle class families and our fears and hopes (bit of adultery and suspected pedophilia thrown in)...makes for good reading if not a little depressing at times.

Was having a conversation with a friend which led me to thinking how many of us can truly accept criticism from others - be it constructive or otherwise. No matter how mature/grown up we think we are I'm sure we can all safely admit that criticism sucks - BIG TIME - but a quote comes to mind - "To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing - Elbert Hubbard" I mention this only because we are always going to have some smart arse tell us how to lead our lives but we cant get too hung up on what others say - or else we'd end up doing nothing, saying nothing and being nothing....which would leave you with? - yup a big fat zero life.
So make like the duck - and let it roll of your back - and get back in the pond and paddle like crazy - and dont forget to quack loudly and joyously - even if you are just swimming in circles...arent we all?
