I broke my favourite mug yesterday. I was really distraught. It was, after all my favourite mug. It has been my faithful companion for years. It saw me through plenty of happy and unhappy stages of life, and now, it’s gone, just like that.

It’s really upsetting because I am rather attached to this mug. It has a sentimental value. But then again, I have no one else to blame for the loss but myself. I wasn’t careful enough while handling it and it slipped through my fingers and it went for the floor and was broken to pieces.

The shards from my favourite mug injured my leg and actually draw blood. For a moment, time froze and I was stunned. I did not wish to say goodbye to the mug this way, but it is rendered useless to me now, regardless of the memories that we had together. And so, I picked up the shards, and swept them away after mourning for the loss for a while.

I was upset. But then again, what’s the point dwelling? The thing is useless now. The shards hurt me and I must get rid of it. The damage has already been done. I cannot turn back time to prevent that from happening or put back the pieces together with a glue so that I can continue to use it.

And so I swept them away and make a mental note to get a brand new mug to replace the one that I lost. It will not be the same as the old one, but at least I will still be able to drink tea and my favourite drinks with it.

So… ladies and gents, the next time you happen to find that your mug is broken, take my advise. Don’t just stand there like an idiot like I did! It’s not going to change anything. Just sweep it away immediatepy and dispose it before it hurt anyone else and get a new one to replace it. Problem solved. 😀

And…. finally, after the long wait and guessing game, it’s official, folks, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has made announcement over RTM1 and TV3 at 11.30am after chairing the last Cabinet meeting today that the parliament is finally dissolved  to pave way for the 13th General Election. 😀

Live streaming of the announcement.
GE 13: Parliament Dissolution

Convention is that the EC announces nomination and polling dates the day after dissolution. So let’s hope that we will know the date for GE13 tomorrow.

In any case at all, ladies and gentlemen, if you are a registered voter, please get ready to vote. Every vote counts.

Cleffairy: Vote, vote, vote, vote!

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tweeted earlier that he would be making the live announcement over all television stations.

Cleffairy: So will the parliament be resolved today? We shall see.
 

How many of you parents out there is facing the difficulty to ask your children to get rid of their security item? I don’t know if any of you have this problem, but I certainly do have this problem with my kid.

He is still very fond of his blanket at a very advance age and is still dragging that thing around regardless of my nagging and scolding. I don’t like the idea of him carrying his blanket around as if his life depends on it. It is not only unsightly, but also a very bad habit as the blanket will get very dirty afterwards.

I know that he’s used to having the blanket with him everyday and is very possessive about it, but I think it’s time for him to get rid of this habit since he is no longer a mere toddler.

But how…how do I get him to be emotionally detached from the stinking blanket? I’ve tried scolding and nagging and hiding his beloved blankie, but it does not work.

How do you get your kid to be emotionally detached from the things that makes them feel safe and secure? *Sigh* Any idea?

Cleffairy: Got to get rid of the blankie during the day. Need to find a better hiding place for it!

Time really flies. It’s gonna be summer soon. Are you excited about it? Well, I can’t honestly say I’m pretty excited about it as it’s almost ‘summer’ whole year through in my country, but the hype is certainly getting to me this year as I’ve planned to participate in Camp NaNo. Camp NaNo have been around for quite a few summers now and it’s a time where writers from all  around the world  gathers together and will be churning words out of their brains throughout summer to produce a novel or two while roasting marshmallows or a glazed chicken wings or two over a campfire.

Most who will be participating in this literary abandon is adults, and it would be a sad thing if kids missed out on the opportunity to grow creatively and academically too this summer.

If you’re in Montreal and is looking forward for some quiet time alone while you work on that novel you’ve been longing to write, I think it would do justice if you send you kids to a summer camp.

Montreal Day Camp would be a perfect place for you to send your kids to this summer as the Montreal tutors are professionally trained in the art of nurturing children in both academic and non-academic fields.

Located in the heart of Montreal, the Summer camps in Montreal provides plenty of interesting daily activities like sports, arts, academics and healthy living to keep your kids occupied throughout summer. Your children will definitely benefit from the camp if you’re to send them there. Just think about it. Let them have their fun while you have some quiet, ME time of your own.

The Summer Camps in Montreal accepted children who are 5 to 14 years old, and it is co-ed. Look them up today for more information should you want to send your kids to the summer camp in question.
