Today, whilst I brought T2 to the hospital (because the sick child has not eaten more than 3 teaspoons of porridge and 3 teaspoons of pasta in all of 5 days nor drank very much at all AND she still is running a high fever after Day 5), I was thinking of my Japanese friend, fellow Mom, a beautiful person. Yeah…..I miss her. I haven’t seen her for more than SIX MONTHS!!! And I know this because I still have her birthday present and she still has T1’s birthday present from last year that I’ve been meaning to collect. Gah. I’m terrible at staying in touch. I’ve just been so busy and everything is so overwhelming without a maid. Even my Nanny said I’m sick because I work too hard. People fail to realise that I have a full time job – no, not the blog. A REAL full time job, one with responsibilities and deadlines and quotas and KPI’s and a REAL salary. Try doing it without a maid?

I’m going to force myself to slow down. I am. We cannot have me being sick at all as I hold the fort in this household. Men? What do they know?

Coming back to my Japanese friend, she owes me a Japanese Curry Recipe and now I’m trying to get her cake recipes from her too. She’s a real friend who will share unlike some. Yes, believe it or not, some women refuse to share their recipes because they need it for their future business ventures or even just to spite you. Sad. For me, if I had a great recipe, I’d be happy to share! And if it was for business, all the more challenging! The challenge in business is to innovate. Who wants to be in a business where you sit on your ass easy? It’d be *yawn* boring………And women who refuse to share out of spite? Well….what can I say? *scratches right bum*

Friends……I’m collecting them. New hobby. I know exactly what I like and exactly what to stay away from. Some people have this evil streak within them and it is SO SCARY!!! *runs far, far away!!!*

And then some are sooooooooooooo sincere that you just cannot help not loving them with so much more back. They just have this whole aura of positive energy surrounding them.

Life is too short. Why complicate things? Live with your cup half full, stop complaining and life will start being rosy. And you know what? The last thing you want to do is to pretend, because babe, you’re only fooling yourself. Be true to yourself because all the pretenses will only last so long. People always get found out. You can only pretend so long. And if you belong to the evil category, then have a look at yourself and ask yourself why you are what you are. Can you change? Do you want to change? Would you prefer living a life filled with love and friendship or a life full of worry and suspicion? I know which bucket I’m in.

*missing my Japanese friend*
