As usual, hubby got up earlier to prepare breakfast for the kids and by 6:15am, we left for school together. After dropping off JS and subsequently JW, we headed to FRIM for our morning walk. This has been our weekday routine for quite a while now. But this morning at FRIM, we had a bad conversation and ended up with a silent treatment. It was over the intended buy over of the Jalan Ipoh shop lot from his brothers. I was in the opinion of having proper black and white done right after the purchase but he intended to do the transfer 5 years later to avoid the stamp duty and penalty. Then, I demanded that he takes me home and that I didnt want to join him for the herbalife breakfast. He reluctantly sent me home though I knew he wanted me to join him. He didnt expect me to have an outburst to that extent. Back home, while doing the house chores, I recalled back and it was just yesterday, I lectured my JW about EQ. When I picked her up at school, she was jovial and happy until I asked her which of the two twins who is in the same class with her. Immediately, she had an outburst, claiming that she has told me many times before and that I should remember and not ask again. I iritated her and she just got upset there and then. So I told her that it is important to have a balance EQ to be successful in life. I explained to her what is EQ and suggested ways to control it. I suggested that she can either take a deep breath or by humming her favourite 'Doreamon Song' whenever she feels irritated. By the time she finish humming her song, she will forget the outburst and feel better. Then, I told her I will train her by asking her the same question whenever I pick her up and that she must learn to have a better control. Well, she bought it. We had a nice lunch at Old Town before headed home.
Now, back to my own reality, I am failing myself and eating my own words here. So when hubby called just now and asked if I want to join him for a japanese lunch, I forced myself to say yes. Reflecting on what transpires with JW had an impact on me and it is indeed a blessing. It's 12:16pm now, I am hoping that my EQ thing wont seep in and spoil my lunch later. Till then....
