Monique and Nioka

-
Monique and Nioka (Nayyoka), two beautiful Aussie girls were chosen to be my foster daughters for two days. The teachers themselves picked the pair for every foster family based on their own evaluation of the students and potential foster parents. Initially, I was not thrilled when my second boss sort of forced me to be a foster parent....


Anyway, I'm glad that I made the decision to take them home for two days as they are friendly and easy to be with albeit a little awkwardness in the beginning....



I noticed both of them were always together since the day of their arrival to our school...The teachers knew best who could get along with whom, although I heard one of the pairs had their big row after being sent back by their foster parents...

They love our pet rabbits and hamsters and played together with my kids.....


All in all, I'm delighted to know these two girls and it was a good learning experience for both of them as well as my kids at home. It's a profound lesson that they learn from each other that might not be found in books...

Before the end of the schools break, my daughters managed to persuade their dad to spend a day at Cameron Highlands.

So, anyway last Tuesday morning off we went to Cameron Highlands; just the five of us, hubby and I and the three girls who were beyond excited to go (none of the boys were going).   Since hubby had given a condition that he would be studying in the car all  the way if he was to go (his exam was on the following day), so  Sha was driving and I could tell that she loved every moment of it .. We arrived there at around noon and the place seemed crowded with people as it was ...

How to say no to your boss?

-
Well.....  the truth is you simply don't......it's something that I learnt that from my previous boss who advised me years back when I jhad just started my early career, the three magic words "never say no". Just the other day, I was debating with myself whether to say no or just accept my boss's suggestion (read: order) without giving him a slightest idea that I'm not capable of doing it ......it's kinda hard to explain coz it's not my job and I don't want to be a scapegoat to be doing it just because somebody else doesn't want to do it.  Anyway, it happened in the meeting, out of the blue like one bright idea bestowed upon him, my boss suggested me doing it ......which, no doubt appalled everyone in the committee and I was left absolutely stunned and speechless........obviously, I didn't make any comment and it was decided then.... Later, came few close friends playing devil's advocate......'This is not your ...
