I have been a little upset with Kiddo. She has been a bit of a slob. Maybe it’s the onset of adolescence. Yesterday, I chided her for her pile of clothes in her bathroom. Today, I told her off for her pile of books where she was sitting. She is becoming a bit of a bohemian. I liked that, but I also worried whether she would be able to take care of herself when she becomes a full-on adult. In my current state however, my worries about her didnt come out too well. It came across more as a grumpy old man with an axe to grind, more so than as a father who is worried about her daughter whom he loves and adores.

She too, got upset and a little while after dinner, she went upstairs to read on her on. I felt bad, but the father in me made her come downstairs to do some work for her coming music exams. Yet, the act of forcing her to do something against her wishes pained even me, so after about half an hour, I went up to her, offered to make her a drink, which she declined. I jumped on a computer, came across a fun test (“Which of the ‘Heroes’ personality are you?” test) and told her about it, as she is a great fan of that show. She got excited, and that gave the both of us an excuse for her to take a break from her work and she too, took that test. She was a Micah (the little kid of that lady who has split personalities everytime she looked into a mirror) and I was a Matt, the cop who could hear people’s thoughts.

The tests eased things a little, she continued with her work and I jumped back on the web and blog surfed. I looked around for more stuff on James Cameron’s latest attempt at notoriety, but found little to add to Ben Witherington’s offerings, so blog surfed on a more fun and light hearted note. I came across these sites.

Thus far, a Vince Peters (who runs a firm out in multi-whoop), Robert James (a CBD firm), Bryant (anor CBD firm) have offered glimpses of hopes. So, I have less excuses to befriend Mac.

Earlier today, Cheng Sian (a 50 something man with grandchildren) from church called to see me about some legal problems he’s been having. He wants to meet in Jell’s Park to discuss this. I think this is weird. Why cant we meet to talk about this over coffee in some cafe, or even in his or my home? Why Jell’s Park?!!! Again, I feel like a gay making a rendezvous for some illicit sex, so I think I’m gonna call him tomorrow and cancel this wretched thing. I’d leave it to him to figure out how weird this is and that this was the reason I wont be discussing his legal problems. Man!!!

Right now, Kiddo has gone to bed, wifey has snoozed off on the sofa, and I’m blog surfing. Are we a typical family? I know I dont feel normal. The De Bortelli, a Melot which has been a companion for the last 2 hours, would remain one. I hope something would happen before the week is out but that is all in His Plans, isnt it? ….
