This is something that has been going on for a long time in my family and I am not too sure if I ought to even worry about it (you'll see why). I have only one brother who is older than me by five years. He is married to a...

meiteoh Thanks for the suggestion(s) but herein lies the problem - I do write and I do chat online with him...if you consider his one-word replies to be a form of two way communication. Every time I write to my parents which is at least once a week, I send an...

meiteoh Thanks for those words of comfort... O'well...I'm not all that gungho about entertaining his whim and fancy, and unlike my mum who has a short memory span (of how my bro treats her), my dad and I do remember and sometimes when he writes emails to me about...

meiteoh Thanks for the well-wishes and for keeping us in your prayers. Believe it or not, my brother and I are Christians. When I'm really down, down, down in the dumps and think about it, yes, you are right - if I wanted to be honest, it's like I don't have a...

meiteoh Y'know, I would love to talk to my brother openly about this but I just can't communicate with him. He doesn't respond to anything I say and if I tell him all this, it'll only start another major fight. He doesn't respond well to people telling him that he's...

meiteoh Well, I do have my own life and my own friends and while a part of me may be indifferent, he is, after all, family and I have been taught since I was a child that no matter what happens, family is still family - blood is thicker than water and all...

meiteoh I think sometimes my brother cares more about his pride than his family. I really want to continue hoping that he would change but even my parents tell me that they have given up which makes me sad when I do think about it. And yes, my brother can create...

How many times do you do dessert each week? I don't do it every night since it is extra sugar, butter etc. I made crepe last night and it was awesome...!! I think I'm gonna make it tonight again ;-) When I wnat to make dessert...

meiteoh Yeah, gaining SOME weight is good but unlike my Malaysian counterparts, I don't plan on putting on like 10 to 20 kilos. Believe it or not, I know of many ladies who put on like 20 kilos in 9 months. It's crazy!!!! Well, being on a diet means I watch my...

Have you ever disappointed your parents? Not the small trivial things but with those that matter more like choice of spouse, career, etc. How did you deal with it? How did you deal with the disappointment that you gave your...

meiteoh I hate to be blunt but all those just sound like excuses to me. What are you afraid of, really? Will life end if you chin up and face reality, face your fears, insecurities and problems head on? I'd think it be otherwise. Life really begins for many of...

Hubby and I went to Marseille this weekend to collect my stuff that I sent via ship and we stayed with his childhood friend. Now, my hubby did warn me beforehand that this friend of his is a rather messy person. The this is this -...

meiteoh I was SOOOOOOO tempted...but after pausing a minute to think, I figure that it would have taken me an entire weekend. @_@ The thing was this - I do wonder if I had come across as being rude at some point by telling him that he needs to get a girl who'd help...

meiteoh Urm, I'm an O and I'd like to think that I'm hardly like my hubby's friend. XD My HB thinks that he's just lazy...sometimes I tell myself (not HB) that this is probably why he can't find a gf. *hmm*

meiteoh Thanks!!! :) I'm off to Marseille later to collect stuff that I shipped over months ago. Will be spending the weekend in France so no Internet there. Blah. O'well...back to cross-stitch now (and checking the mail - am anticipating some surprises!)!!!

I just bought a miniature rose bush - the label says that is a Rosier Forever 10cm from Denmark. I'm in Switzerland so sometimes the plant names here are crazy. Anyway, I replanted it into a bigger pot but am wondering about the...

meiteoh That's super cute! :) I just bought a really sad looking miniature yellow rosh bush - all the blooms were nearly spent and there were only two or three buds - and it was actually the best available in the store. After some deadheading, I planted it next to...

I bought this from the store today because it was one of the few smaller bromeliads on sale...but this is the thing, I don't know what exactly it is since there are hundreds of different types of bromeliads. Can someone tell me...

meiteoh Thanks! As usually, you're a fab! I do suspect it's an Aechmea more than a Vriescea after seeing a pic of a bromeliad that looked pretty much like mine. Also, I think the flowers have already opened. Am not too sure (I really do need to take a closer...

meiteoh Surprisingly Wikipedia turned out to be as helpful as the wall on this! @_@ I suspect it's either a Vriescea or an Aechmea - saw a pic of it somewhere in a book earlier today. Aiii...sometimes I hate plant labels here. =.=

meiteoh The trouble with that is it's his mother, and even though my hubby tells her that we're eating, she just goes on and on. Sometimes I feel downright horrible for asking him to tell her off but I really don't like people picking up calls during meals. =.=
