Peace
Past few days, I have only one pc working at home…the other unit decided to play some tricks every few minutes or so and this leaves 3 of us fighting over one unit. And this partly explains my lack of updates and non-bloghopping.
Last night, my no. 2 decided to knock off to bed early and graciously allowed me the use of his pc in his room. Yippies…..Late at night, and I turned on some relaxing golden oldie songs and then sat myself comfortably next to the computer to reply some emails and read some blogs.
A few feet away, that boy was tossing and turning on his bed…one minute he pulled the blanket over his head and the next minute, he pulled down the blanket and then covered his head with his bolster. He was so restless on the bed and then he stood up and reached for the volume control on the media player and turned it to ‘0’.
Me : Hey, what you doing?
He : Cannot sleep lar.
Me : Don’t bluff. You can sleep like a log with loud, head-banging music.
He: Ya lar…I can sleep with MY kind of music.
Me : Cannot! Music coming to me through headphones are ALL HEAD-BANGING. Just like bashing my brains to a pulp….makes me all nauseous. I’ll go crazy lidat.
He lifted his sleepy head from the pillow, stretched to reach for the volume-control button and cranked it up to no. 1, pulled the blanket over his head and stuck out his hand like this, and said,
"shhhh....Pulezz don't bang so hard on the keyboard. Good Night!"
......zzzzzzzzz.....zzzzzzzzz......zzzzzzzzz....

Hi Nyonyapenang, guess the younger generation have different tastes in music. One of my friend's son told me, "eeee, uncle, you listening to singers all died long ago", ha ha.
Anyway, when your son put up his 'peace' two fingers, he is indicating to you, 'my mom is a never ending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words, but I always remember the tunes'.
You be cool, Nyonya. UL.

Ur son is funny!!! Peace with mummy!!! Tell him : Son if U wan me not to disturb ur beauty sleep pls get me a new lappie or fix tat pc!!!
dat's what i call generation gap lor..
Luckily he didn't stick out his middle finger.
my computer used to be in my room too..my mummy and daddy will always ocme in to play game. but they will be very considerate too..they try to off the light so that it wont distrub my sleep (although i tell them its ok lah, later spoil their eyes) and they will always off the volumn (so no sound from the game)
i guess, no matter what..its give and take..like u say, they are nice to let u use the comp in the room, the nice thing u can return in favor? use the head phone lor..put just one side and the other side, the music can flow out :P
ur no. 2..very guai lah..so 'peace loving' heheh ;)

Hi Nyonyapenang,
Music? I watch MTV with my young boys. That's how I connect with them. Now I'm hooked on rap music...ha ha. Lemme tell ya, it grows on me. I like Justin Timeberlake, Rhianna, Beyonce...ha ha.
Anyway so nice of you to hop over my blog. So sorry I took a cruise liner to reach here, my cessna jet tengah repair..he he. Still working at getting back to the blogging fold. Take care.

Oh btw, 50 cents and Puff Daddy (all rappers) too..he he.
Aiyo... all the head-banging music can really make me bang my head onto the wall lah! Their kind of music is just like loud noise to me...
Heh, people are so interesting! Some like it loud, some like it soft. It doesn't just apply to sleep, some people study with heavy music blasting away. I wonder if they can hear themselves think.

Hi Uncle Lee,
hahahaha....your friend's son so cute lar, saying you listening to singers all gone to heaven already. But those songs are to me, evergreen and I enjoy the soothing tunes and meaningful lyrics and at least, I can pick up what the song is all about. The current wave? Oh dear, malu to tell you, quite often, I just cannot figure out what the singers are singing about but I do enjoy the thumping beat of the music, though....but please, not in the quiet calm of the night.
You said it so beautifully, Uncle Lee - 'my mom is a never ending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words, but I always remember the tunes'.
It warms the cockles of my heart.
Thank you so much....you made my day.
Have a pleasant day, Uncle Lee.

hi winniethepooh,
wah...Your parents play games on the pc and they are very considerate to play 'silent' games. hehehe....
Me? No lar...I blog only.
Ya, very true...like you said, there must be give and take. If the boys are at home, they'll be hugging the pc and when they are finished with it, then only I get to use and by then,most times, it would be way past midnite. My eyes also cannot open already.
But of course when I got urgent things to do re: my work, they will give way to me. Ya, they are 'guai' in this sense. Thanks for your kind words, winnie.
You have a great day.

Hi Ruby,
**rolls out red carpet...**
A very warm welcome!
Wah....You must be having loads of fun on your cruise liner visiting the many ports of call and found time to drop anchor here. I am honoured and I am thrilled to bits, Ruby.
I read from your profile you listen to a wide genre of music and you certainly is one 'funky' momma - would love to see you rap to 50 cents and Puff Daddy. hahahah...
Justin Timberlake, Rhianna, Beyonce, Black Eye Peas, Pussy Cat Dolls, BOA,etc...I have heard on my sons' playlist and I have gotten them to download some tunes to my handphone too...eg. Ne-Yo, O-Town, Kylie Minogue, Pink....
Thank you so much for the comments. Do drop by anytime, ya...would love to have you around.
You have a great rappin' day. :)

Hi Pi Bani,
In the day time...I am quite OK with some banging noise, but late at night when I am ready to roll in...some soothing and relaxing tunes to calm the nerves would be nice. :)

hi jonzz,
ya lar...fully agree with you on whether they can hear themselves think. same goes with those who drive around with music so LOUD, that you can hear it from the outside.

Hi Monk[+}icon,
I guess we go through some noisy music and then we appreciate the more 'milder' ones.
For me, I need soothing music to help calm my nerves after a stressful day.

Hi Nyonya
I found some time to blog hop. Your son is so cute. He complains but I bet he did not mind. He probably liked it that mummy was in the room while went to sleep.
I'm the same way... late at night, I prefer soothing music. My choice ranges from classical to oldies. If I have to listen to something more 'modern', then the 80s, it is. haha

Hi j.t.,
Oh, he does not mind at all as long as I play the oldies as softly as possible. :)
Late at night, when I am ready to wind down...it will be easy-listening sentimental music.
In the car, when travelling long distances, then it will be the more lively tunes to keep me awake. hahaha..
Thanks for taking the time to pop by. No worries, j.t., just drop by when you are able to.
