A Silent Bonding

I am having a "breakaway" at this time with my kids, my mum and my sisters. While typing away over here, I overheard my sister asking my son this, "Is this the way your mum is having a holiday? Always clicking on the laptop? Is she always like this?" I do not know whether to smile or feel "guilty" cos my son answered "yes" to all these questions.

Well, am I a workaholic? Or am I just a super addicted lappie mum? Whatever it is, I better stop what I am doing now. But can't they feel my presence here with them even though I am "wordless?" LOL..... OK, I think they need my real presence, not just a dummy sitting here...

    Seems like you're trying some family bonding while bonded to your lappie. But it's good that you acknowledge the issue. It's a start.

    NO. They can't. because all they know is that you are glued to your lappie. If I were your sister I can't help but think that all you care is about your computer and your internet. :/

    That's why I try to go online when my family is asleep. That way I can have more quality time with them.

    Hahaha.. me too. hubby always complains about me being glued to my lappie all the time. These 10 days since school holiday started I have been "off" the internet but have done a lot of activities with my boy. We are going for "Toy Story 3" later in the afternoon with grandma and grandpa. Yipee!!

    It was hard at first for not blogging though I still visit my favourite blogs for half an hour or so each day.;)

    Now I know why I can never catch up with your blog. You spend so much time on it :-). I only have time to log in and read blogs once a day and often realised that you have already posted several postings and I didn't even have time to read them all....

    Thank goodness no internet or blogging when your children were kids and growing up - that would be the crucial period when bonding is of utmost important.

    Now they're grown up...it isn't so bad...but always make time for family time and bonding - evenings, weekends - go out together, window-shopping, eating something nice...or spend time cooking something together...and so on. Quality time - a must in every family!

    Maybe you can go online during lunch hour...or when they're busy with their own things.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
