I graduated with a degree in finance specializing in real estate. But I never really went into what I majored in after graduation. I was in business development and accounts management all my life. Later, I went into risk management and insurance business. Then I got married and I totally dissociated myself from the ever changing business world. Lately, I’ve got this “fever” to work again. This time I pledged to go back into what I’ve really done in school.

So I scoured the internet for jobs in the real estate industry. I was surprised to come across Fort Lauderdale Realtors which is so specialized and professional with finding their customers their perfect dream home. Although I do not live near the area, I find the professionalism of the Realtors in Fort Lauderdale to be ideal for home buyers. Home buyers are assured of no hanky panky and hassle-free deals. Besides, all their realtors have been screened for inappropriate behavior. Thus, increasing their credibility and the home buyers’ confidence in dealing with them. If I lived around that area, I’d definitely go for them!

I have to photoshop some pix abit cuz the sky was too whitish/ greyish in the pix that I took. It was true Fall weather in Paris. Partly sunny but no rain! I was carrying my samsonite umbrella - lightweighted - around for no reason. =S

I haven’t really taken a lot of photos because I was busy eating and taking care of my baby. Some Malaysian friends did come over for a chat. The food wasn’t enough to accommodate the many people who were there. But the desserts were good!

We had rendang ayam, otak-otak, broccoli with mushrooms, nasi kunyit, chicken wings, rojak, chickpeas, stirfry mixed veges and something else (can’t remember what was that). They were all made by the Malaysian ladies.

Mobster!

I cannot get the strategy of the game. All I’m doing now is to fight more missions to gain money and the extra experience so that I can start on the hitlist!

I’m working very hard - doing all kinds of tasks such as residential burglaries, mugging, grand theft and convenience store robbery. But they consume all my energy in so short time, I’ll have to wait for the next login in order to get lucrative missions. Lately, don’t have much luck with fight. Everytime I pick someone to fight, I’ll get the message “insuccesso”. So heartbreaking …

I’ve joined my friends’ mobs … hopefully I can gain more power! Yay!

You know what? I really hate people who are bitter and petty about tiny little details in life.

I hate especially people who are so bitter over what you own!

Seriously, there are people who are so bitter - to be precise - jealous over the things you have. wtf.

Won’t you?

I have been monitoring two women who bring their kids to play nearby our place. They bring their kids - 4-5 of them depending on the time of the day so very often nearby our place which is TOO CLOSE to be playing around. That is very inconsiderate of them. I was out in the yard one day when they were like 1 meter away from our yard and the kids were shouting and the mothers were yapping out loud. So, I shouted at my boy, who happened to be singing quite loud too, to shut up. And told him that “he” is very noisy. Immediately, I heard some silence and slowly they moved away. I don’t understand why would anyone want to go so near to people’s place and do stupid things like this. Well, fine, this is tolerable and they are not too often too close to our place.

But, they are very often seen playing with things of our neighbors’ kids. Now, this is INTOLERABLE! I find the women to be very irresponsible mothers because they are cultivating bad habits in their kids. That’s the BEGINNING to bad habits. My parents never taught me to play with things that do not belong to us eventhough they were strewn all over a place where we had no clue who had left them there. But these two women really “impressed” me with their stupidity.

I remember my dad always reminded me, when I was a kid, if I saw money on the ground - do not go pick it up. First of all, it’s not our money. Secondly, how would we know if someone was trying to trap us? So, eventhough we have the intention to pick it up and bring it to the police - if we put something that’s not ours into our bags or pockets or even in our hands … that’s not right already. Alright, unless if someone left the thing in my house or in my car - then yes I have the right safekeep it until that someone comes and claim it back. But if it’s in a public place … it’s better left untouch.

Bwwaaahahahahahaha, my mom and aunts theory even more “keng” (great) … they said if we see something on the floor or chair - aiyah just anywhere lah - don’t pick it up cuz might be something to do with black magic and nanti kena pukau or jampi! Hahahahahahaha, yeah I thought that was hilarious, but I did so believe them. Duh!

Anyway, back to those stupid women, today they came again, one came with her own toy (green piece of thingy). It so happened our neighbors’ kids toys were lying around next to our neighbor’s house. They went and play with them. What’s more, I saw them taking some stuff back with them. OK I got no prove they are not theirs. But, by playing with things that do not belong to them - I think that’s a very GOOD ENOUGH accusation. They can blame nobody for accusing them for stealing because it’s a fact they are playing with things that do not belong to them and without the permission of the owners.

I took plenty of pix of them each time they come to our place. Here are the many pix I’ve taken of them today. I saw them taking with them 2 extra toys which I do not think belong to them.

All our kids’ toys are in the bush you see on the left of the pix.

Helping her kids to climb the dangerous stone.

See the pink object in the woman’s hand (light colored jacket) - I don’t think it’s theirs.

Took with her a piece of blue toy - which I do not believe it’s theirs.

See, I really don’t understand why there are women stupid enough to bring their kids to play in such dangerous places. VERY STUPID! Also caught red-handed for playing with others’ toys … that’s good enough to bring shame to them. See those blue and pink stuff in the women’s hands? They are not theirs - well at least that’s what I believe.

Moral of the story - do not touch things that do not belong to you. Do not go too near to people’s house. Cuz if they lost something, you’ll be the first suspects eventhough you’re not.

Just got home from a Malaysian Cultural Evening organized by the Malaysian-Finnish Association. The event was good. Atmosphere was really nice except with a few kids including my boy … running here and there. The function was held in a very old house - I think it’s a museum nowadays - which is over 300 years old. WOW! It would hv been real fun to hold Halloween instead of the cultural evening - *hehe*

Met so many fellow Malaysians there. Many unfamiliar faces. But only talked to a few ones that I knew and have gone out with. Took some pix - I wouldn’t say a lot. Cuz my hubby and I were both busy with our boys. If I could smack his face … I would! Arrgghhh … you can see that those organizers ain’t too impressed with the on going noises caused by the kids running here and there. The ladies who handled the “makan” section was so afraid the kids would mess with the food *hehe*

Sorry lah … no pix tonight cuz I’m bummed. Left the camera in the car and am too lazy to go out in 1C to get it. So tomorrow … ok, now gotta get on to work on Tom’s theme header! Adios!
