Talk is cheap
Now I trully know the meaning when they say "Talk is cheap". How cheap? 0 cents actually. Calls and smses from principal line to supplementary line offered by a mobile service provider are free for certain amount of minutes. That literally defines this tagline "Talk is cheap". So, lets do some cheap talking...
NATO:
Stands for No Action, Talk Only. One can say/ promise everything under the without actually doing anything. Sweet promises like "I'll be there for you" and "I'll do whatever you ask me to do" will melt any girl's heart. But if its just NATO, ceh, talk to the hand.

Remote control:
When one likes to instruct rather than doing it. For example, say "bring me a cup" and the cup will appear in front of you. Similar to the mechanism of a TV remote control, press a channel, and the TV's channel will be changed. Hmm... now it sounds more like "ask and it will be given". I'm neither a maid (1st scenario) nor am I, God (2nd scenario). Some people apply method this in child care. They will go around instructing the child to do things like go to sleep, pick up toys, etc and go on like this for the whole day! Voila, child care made easy.
I know everything:
This happens when one try to tell you to do things that they don't practice. For example "Oh, its normal for kids to fall". Well, hell, the parents will feel the pain when the kid gets sick or break a leg.
I don't know anything:
There were a few occasions where Jon choked when my previous maid tried to feed him water. After that I asked her to use baby spoon instead (so that the amount of water scooped will be less). Then one day, I heard Jon choked while the maid was feeding water again. So, I asked her why didn't she use the baby spoon? She replied "Baby bagi spoon besar". I nearly fainted. So I asked her "Umur baby 2 tahun, you? 2 tahun jugak?". In this case, saying that you didn't know anything is way to cheap for me.
Do you think talk is cheap?
