one at a time

I have to learn to do thing one at a time.
I have been thinking about this long time ago, there is no way for me to handle so many things at a time.
I can…
>> Fry chicken and chopping garlic at the same time;
>> Spread the bread while waiting for the water to fill up at the sink;
>> Feeding the girls and reading the newspaper at a time;
>> Hanging laundry and singing for the girls;
>> Washing the plate and writing the blog in my mind;
>> Shower and thinking what to cook tomorrow;
>> Day dreaming while washing the potty; folding laundry and ironing the cloth;
>> etc etc etc.
But there are things that I can’t do more than one task at a time, like below.
Beside the usual household chaos, I have some leisure time to mind my hobbies, I have to choose between…
>> Blogging;
>> Blog hopping;
>> playing/reading/drawing with the girls;
>> Reading;
>> Beading;
>> Messing around with ‘homemade’ stuff (for exmple — dumpling);
>> Photography (sometime is necessary because of the jewellery website update);
>> painting;
>> etc etc etc
And most of the time whatever I have choose can be interupt by something unexpected, for example few calls looking for breastfeeding support, or refereeing the fight between the girls, nurse the “hurted” victim etc etc etc.
Recently can’t even blog in peace because of the spam mails floating in my blog comment board!!! One day amount to 200-300, and even though with the spam filter (actually the spam mail increasing after I enabled the filter, guess who make the enemies for you so that he can become hero), at least 30-50 spam mails managed to get away and posted in the comment.
Well, may be I should disable the spam filter and make all the reader register before comment. And at least to cut down my time on PC I started disable comment on some of my entries (sshhh… just read, and no need to say anything, let me read your mind LOL…).
Computer really taking a lot of my time, necessary or not I sit in front of the PC and moving the mouse away, it is time for me to do something else beside sitting in front of the PC. There are still a lot of good books I yet to read, some pictures in my mind yet to be painted out, some game I wanted to play with the girls for a long time, some beads have been sleeping in the storing box for some time, some recipes I yet to try…
There are so many things I want to do, and I can only do one at a time, I need to be single minded… if you didn’t see me update so often, or see me visit so often, pardon me… I am diverting… from the PC.
Sometime I wish to be like the green in the picture, growing quietly… my mind a bit too bustling…
You took the words right out of my mouth!
>> MG, funny, when I writing this post, I am thinking about you LOL…
Hehe. Forgot to mention. I’m the first to register hor? Your spam so no joke wan ah? Really a waste of time yah? BTW, its not too difficult to register so use this feature loh.
>> MG, yah, the spam mail really a headache, make my mailbox slow down some more. I added the “register” link in the comment board, otherwise have to click else way.
hehe… luckily Blogger handle my spams… multi-tasking not easy hor? need to get more memory!
>> Egghead, multi-tasking not only need more memory, need better performance proccesor, and motherboard, and not mention about the sound card, need to upgrade from time to time, otherwise nobody can listen to you LOL…
I’ve been through exactly that when I was “my own boss” the diff was, I got nothing done.
When doing A –>think B—>do B —>think C…blah!
Really need to get down to some kidn of schedule..
good luck
>> ET, yah, too many things need to do, and in the end nothing done :(.

So Stress ar? You do need a maid
>> Tom, stress? this is not stress, compare with the first two years taking care of the twins, now just busy, but not stress :).
Maid? I afraid with a maid I will be stress.

I think you need to install plugin SPAM KARMA 2 already. I tried that, but the plugin too geng chau already.
>> Jason, I feel better do without the spam, and have the register on. I don’t like too many plug-in.
What else can I say besides “Good Luck”!
>> Vien, thanks
i love logging in into your system, makes me feel so professional (even if it’s only blog-hopping!) and like we are included into your big family. ha. =)
multi-tasking is really important in our daily lives … guess that’s because we only have 24 hrs a day but apparently we need more than that to get things done.
to know how to do things one at a time is an art …
>> Greenapple, I thought it will be a hassle instead of feeling special to log-in and commen
, we can never expect what we expected :lol:.
*sigh*… still long way to become the “master” of the art of multi-tasking
Wah liao, now have to register to be able to comment. Yeah I am also getting spam, but I discover a way to throw away all spams.
Life will be boring without blogs.
>> Michelle, last time you left a comment gave me two photography related links, because of the link, it being categorized as spam :shock:, luckily I have the habit of run through the spam, and dig it out :lol:… otherwise you will wonder why did that comment have gone.
Hah…. blog already like part of our daily routine already ;).
Yeah loh.. I echo Michelle.. Like joining some exclusive club liao.
You are really trying to do too many things.
Like me la.. lie down and stare at the celing.. when I have so much to do and don’t know where to start.
>> zarasmama, good or not? this exclusive club no need to pay member fees wan wor :lol:…
I trying to do a lot of things because I really like to do it lor, weakness lar… try not to, but so itchy wor…
LOL… that was how I gather so many undone things — staring too much ceiling LOL… that is my fav also, how nice, laying down staring ceiling, and day dreaming… WAH! SYIOK! OK, got half an hour to do it, later have to cook liao, ciao… bye…
Aiyo yo, have to register and log in every time I have to comment? Okay never mind, for the sake of Maria, no problem lar.
Multi-tasking? We, chatters, always do this during office hours - chatting, be it on msn, google, yahoo or skype, and typing at the same time, hahaha.
Reminded me when I was in my confinement days. I had to do my work i.e. typing on the computer, and using my leg to ‘goyang’ Des to sleep in her ’sarung’. And oso ‘oiing’ her to sleep in my arms, walking up and down the hall and at the same time watching TV. Dat’s multi-tasking, rite? (heeheehee)
Pappy can oso multi-task in the toilet too - reading either newspaper or magazine while doing his ‘big business’. Wah hahahahaha!
>> Tracy Sifu, LOL… yah… I remember I was using two legs goyang the sarong, one on each side, then I pumping breastmilk, eat my lunch and watching “Friends” LOL…
That’s how I feel most of the time. Sometimes, time is just not enough for so many that we wanted to achive. But you are very “keng” ler, can do 2 or 3 things at the same time, “pui fook”.
>> Allyfeel, too many beautiful beads waitng for us to string it together :D.
testin testing..
hehe..nothing to say just testin gon the register comment…:p
eee..tat spring onion took how long to grow like tat ahh??
>> Msau, three weeks!!! wait until my neck also long liao.
Yeah I know, next time will send you links instead…:P
>> Michelle, this time no worry liao, because registered liao mah ;).
ei? why I no need to register and I can comment..难道 becos I’m one of the writer..?
wah can it get more exclusive than this or not ??? :etproud:
ooi..how come no proud icon..no face no face..
>> Earthtone, yah, you have no idea how exclusive and privilege you are in my blog meh? LOL… err… proud icon ah? how ah? let me think *think, think, think like Pooh bear*.
I hear you gal..! i’m the same way..! wished there was more than 24hrs a day.. adn i donch have to sleep so much either..!!
Wah, wah, wah, I really ‘fuk jor lei lor’. I thought I should be proud of myself by doing my work and goyang the sarung with one leg. How silly of me. For a while, forgot u’ve TWINS and u need to goyang TWO sarungs with BOTH legs. “Pui fuk, pui fuk” big master!
