i'm not busy

XINDY!!!! i remb ur birthday nw le!!!! it's 26th april!!! so sorry i didnt remb juz nw!!!

i read before some where... a mother avoids using "i'm busy" with her kids, because it conveys the message that she has time for better things than with them which will hurt them. the next time her kids will hesitate before approaching her. this i feel, is applicable to every relationship that we share with people.

from my 1st 3 months jc knowledge of economics, there is always an opportunity cost incurred in every choice we make - including how we choose to spend our time.

so when my sister chooses to stick to her bf everyday after work and then stay over at her bf's place, the message received is he is more important than us. and when zj chooses to hangout/play with his friends till the wee hours until he is drained and has just enough time to complete his assignments leaving no time for other things. i receive another message. however i had something on saturday and didn't have time for him too.

nowadays, i refrain myself from telling anyone that "i'm busy".
