We never want to admit our weaknesses and mistakes. So how could we ever learn when all we care for are the bouquets but not the brickbats.<BR/>Hopefully reading your blog and others will be the first step towards this realization. - YOYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-6029426152423442862007-04-03T02:49:00.000-05:002007-04-03T02:49:00.000-05:00Macha...stories like this are all around us...who ...Macha...stories like this are all around us...who can put them better gets the message across!<BR/>Good one.....UCHi mama....whats her story like then?Alliedmartsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357969467864611310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-47705099841539639932007-04-03T00:41:00.000-05:002007-04-03T00:41:00.000-05:00Seeing ourselves reflected in the eyes of others i...Seeing ourselves reflected in the eyes of others is very sobering indeed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23406611.post-20142889132999808032007-04-02T08:57:00.000-05:002007-04-02T08:57:00.000-05:00You not-so-Ancient Mariner,Yes, Cap'n, we are inde...You not-so-Ancient Mariner,<BR/><BR/>Yes, Cap'n, we are indeed proud of the likes of Ms. Irene, and most of us have forgotten our "pendatang" roots - Bugis, Minang, Kerala, Fujian, Jawa etc. When, without prompting, Macha whipped out his passport as "proof", in my haste, I failed to notice "Shaaz Curry House" in the smaller print, or else I would have grilled him about that. I was too busy setting my Ixus to Macro Mode...<BR/><BR/>Hehe... Uchi's story? Now that would surely be risque... why not. But I got to gain "her" trust first...
