Class, Chat, Food, Fun

2011-10-15T19:58:00.000-07:00

Went for a talk yesterday. Actually is a compulsory class to attend after we have gone through the tourist guide course. That is call 'Mesra Malaysia'. One of the student told us that 'mesra' in Indonesia, if use inappropriately it means wants 'sex'. Ha ha, just learn that, so I will never mention the word 'mesra' to any Indonesian, or their imagination might go wild or something else might happen, yeak!

Another student told us that he was once really badly humiliated by a customer during his previous job. He was working as a customer service of a company. One day a customer came and wanted to use the card issued by the company for points collection so he can use for future redemption. He was unable to used the card and got angry. Just because of that he got angry, can you imagine that? The student tried to explain to the customer with whatever excuses he can just to make him get off the fire on his head, but instead the customer scolded him and spit on his face.

Cases like that usually will lead to a fight either verbally or physically right? But the friend tolerated that. Before the customer left he took down the car number and later he tried to trace the car.

He was thinking of finding his car and punctured all his tyres, or remove all the four tyres, break the window...... But off course he was only thinking as no action was really taken later because he couldn't find the car at all.

For me, hmmm... what will I do?? I think I will shout as loud as I could and then find a hammer or anything I can get hold of and smash his car...... and throw the hammer at him......... and I will just walk away and tell him don't show up his face again, or else..... ok stop, stop, stop now or I will go vulgar.

I think the best way is just walk away let everything cool down and explain the situation. Don't fight, ok! There is a chinese saying '两虎相斗，必有一伤‘ 'two tiger fighting, there is one bound to get hurt badly'. I don't want to be hurt...

New Kid On The Block

2011-10-10T07:12:00.001-07:00

I am back! I am back! I am back!

Wow, it has been some times since I last posted.

Remember I posted earlier saying that I went for a class and will be a new person soon? Actually I am still my old self, just that now I am working as a part time tourist guide.

To me, it is quite an interesting job actually. But if you are not a patience person and not some one who can tolerate nuisance or someone who enjoy guiding others, then this job is terrible.

To me, dealing with people is not an easy job at all. Just think of some people around us. Not all are that understanding and easy to please. Anyway, as long as I am staying in this job I have to learn to tackle the problem. I am sure after few years in this line, I will be able to handle all this like "Kacang putih" (peanuts). Haha, hopefully.

During the 4 months course, I learn lots of thing in more details about Malaysia and its people, cultures and traditions of other races, food, hotels, and lots of new places etc...

Being a tourist guide I have to observe dress code strictly. I have started to adjust to a new FASHION, which is long or short sleeve batik, collar shirt; long pant; socks and covered black shoes, which make me look like an 'Amah' (servant). The only different is their dress is white with black trouser. Luckily, although no coloured hair is allowed, make up is allowed, otherwise, I will look like a 'Keong xi' (Dracula).

Any 'Shi Fu' (master) guide out there who is willing to show me a few of your 'Kong Fu' secret, I will really appreciate that. Kow tow (bow) to you first!

Sleepless Nights Make Me Crazy

2010-07-29T00:11:00.000-07:00

I am feeling very upset for a few days now.

I couldn’t eat,
I couldn’t sleep,
I couldn’t study for my exam,
I couldn’t settle down my heart at all to do anything.

I need someone to talk to, but nobody have the time to listen to me. Everybody is busy that I really understand.

Anyway, I have to clear my head otherwise I will go crazy, so I made an appointment to see Inspector in USJ police station.

I told her why I am up set, sleepless, no concentration, worry, no appetite, etc… I should be seeing a doctor for that right, but different profession treat different sickness and I was sure I went to the right place. Only inspector can give me some clue to my worry and anger now.

To my surprise she lends her ears and I really thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Ok, let me tell you what I tell the inspector.

I told her I lost my laptop, my purse, 2 handbags, and cash in RM and Sing dollar, my Will, my EPF statement, Rolex watch, Gold chain, children’s game station, 2 hand phones, my son’s bag etc… to the recent break-in. I know you don’t feel the pinch, because it doesn’t prick you. Ha, that should be the way, I agreed with you.

I was away from 5.30 – 9.30 pm for dinner and came back found my back door open, and front window grill removed, front door tried but failed.

Something I couldn't’ understand is, the back lane is fence up with iron grill and with the security around, and there are still so many break-ins. And they don’t have to wait till mid night. It happened at about 9.00 pm, yes, that early.

My area is split up into paying and non paying residents. The paying residents are marks and non paying residents are unmarked. I am within unmarked group. I am now wondering whether the thief came to me because I am not paying or they really go at random. And who are those thieves? Which, lots of people tell me stories behind the break-ins. Now it is up to you to guess.

I SMS to inform a few committee and ask whether they are aware there are break in in USJ 11/4. All of them told me are 0 cases. Anyway one of the committee called me back and tells me I should join them. Ha, so they can guarantee there won’t be break-in again? Wao, that sound DANGEROUS to me.

I have made some suggestion to the Inspector regarding the G & G (Gated n Guarded) community. I am happy with the answer and happy about what she is going to do with my suggestion.

She also promised that she will ask the petrol to come into the gated area and not depend on the guards.

She said USJ6 area although not gated but with the petrol the crime has drop a lot which I totally agreed. Well, they are doing something, so why take law into your own hands when the police are there. Although they cannot be 100% also like the G & G but at least we don’t have to be caged in and with limited exit and entrance.

Ok, I felt so much better now, thanks for reading my grumbling.

Still no appetite. Just hope I can sleep like a baby tonight.

Back To School

2010-04-17T20:39:00.000-07:00

I am now attending a course. An intensive 5 months course and then after that I will be on a new job and will be a new Molly.

I have stopped work. Which mean I have no income for this 5 months. So now I have to tie up my stomach, eat LESS, NO SHOPPING, spend LESS, NO entertainment, NO outing, NO tea or coffee time with friend, LESS contact with friends. It sounds so dry and boring right?

But is ok, I can blog ma! I can also blog hop leh!

I will not reveal what course I am taking at the moment till the end. You can make a wild guess but I will zip-up my mouth on that at the moment.

Just some clue in case you might want to guess.

In the new job I will always have an audience, have company, never lonely, interesting, away from home, eat out, less home cook I think the clue is long enough for a catch.

See you at your blog!!

My Cash Return Invested

2010-04-16T17:50:00.000-07:00

If you have read my earlier post you would have known that I have sold off a car and make some money from it.

Now the question is, where am I to put this money?

So where? where? where is the best place to invest my hard earned money? Fixed Deposit? Mutual Fund? Share Market? Gold bullion?

I think the best choice is to invest in gold.

Ok, set, buy gold bullion is the best answer for me!

Smiling All The Way To The Bank

2010-04-15T18:35:00.000-07:00

I am with a big SMILE and on the way to the bank, HA HA HA!! Want to know where I get the big fat cheque?

Is a pleasent morning and I am heading to the PUSPAKOM, a place where mostly runner or male are there sending the car for inspection, which is compulsory if you want to sell your car and transfer ownership.

When I sell my car, I usually sell it personally to the buyer and not to the car agent. That was because if I sell to the agent I loose out at least Rm2,000 - RM5,000 depending on you car condition, model, year make, and bargaining with the agent, etc......

With the new ruling it could be a little hassle to sell it yourself because you need to send your car to Puspakom SDN BHD for inspection to get a letter of clearance before you can have your name transfered.

There are many reason given by the Puspakom SDN BHD why we should send our car for inspection but only 2 important reasons I think is important, ie 1. to see whether the car has a 'cut and joint' or 2. a stolen vehicle. Other than that since it is a must to send for inspection and there is a payment of RM30.00 they might as well give a thorough check up.

I send for inspection myself this time because the buyer wanted to send a runner to do it for him and I was worried the runner may run away with my car or take my car for a rambling before sending it back to me. So I have a deal with the buyer that I send it for inspection and he pay me RM100.00 inclusive of RM30.00 inspection fee. He paid me because he has to pay the runner double for doing it.

I arrived at the PUSPAKOM at about 7.45 am and waited behind other vehicles. Not too long que, only about 15 cars before me.

There are two counters before entering the inspection area. There I fill in a form, submit the original car registration card and pay a fee of RM30.00.

After that I headed toward the inspection area. The whole inspection together with the letter of clearance took about 1/2 hour.

After that I went to the Road Transport Department to get the necessary form for transfer of ownership and have my ic verified by the officer, free of charge.

ThenI met up with the new owner to get the fat banker's cheque and headed to the bank.

Caution! Do not simply trust any buyer. Keep you eye big if you want to sell the car yourself. It is not difficult but could be dangerous especially to people so small size like me. Hehe. and do not hand your key to them, get someone to go along with you if possible but I did it alone. Hahaha my worry is over at last.

Any one of you having problem with Algebra 1 or Algebra 2?

Of course the answer is NO because almost 100% of my visitors are either working adults, parents or grandparents, right?

But you may be indirectly facing the problem when your sisters, brothers or your children come to you for help in this area. If yes, are you able to help? No? Why not try the algebra help online?

A Task I Cannot Avoid

2010-03-30T20:09:00.000-07:00

Went to the new Toyota Service Centre , Subang Jaya to service my car yesterday. Estimated 3 hours job, so I decided to wait instead of going home. Well, I have no choice, because it is too early to get someone to fetch me home and to those who are working is not convenience too to trouble them.

3 hours wait could means a long time if you are sitting some where hot and stuffy. But at the new Toyota service centre at Subang Jaya, waiting is a pleasant experience. There were many people waiting, some with their laptop, some reading newspaper and there are a few computers for some restless to serf net and get connected while waiting for their car.

I sat comfortably there watching my favourite magic show after reading The Star and Sin Chew Daily papers, sipping coffee and eating sandwich I bought on the way there. Wah, I am feeling so at home.

I used to hate sending car for repair but after yesterday's experience I think I dont mind sending my car for service again in the future.

I know, I know many of you don't have to worry about sending car for repair because there are some one to do it for you, right? Lucky you, but for me, I have no no no choice. I will have to do it myself as long as I want to own a car.

Lunch

2010-03-09T19:22:00.000-08:00

Went to 3K sports complex for a class recently with a friend of my and had lunch at the restaurant inside the building. They serve all sort of foods like Nasi lemak, various type of Chinese noodles, ice-kacang, curry fishhead etc.........
.
I ordered nasi lemak (RM8.00) with mutton curry,
hmmm....that was my type of mutton curry. Very nice.

And my girlfriend ordered Cantonese noodle (RM5.50) cooked by a Malay chef,

that was not bad but I would still prefer it with pork.

We each had a glass of teh tarik, which both agreed was nice too.

The second day we went back there for a smaller cup of teh tarik after our lunch else where. Hmm... I still have to urge to go back for more teh tarik, I just wonder why?

FW: FW: FW: Mail Tracking---Must read

2010-02-23T01:28:00.000-08:00

An email I received months ago TO ALL MY EMAIL BUDDIES :

Here is something everyone should read. If you don't, you're hurting yourself and your email buddies.
Please read to the end.

By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with www.snopes.com and/or www.truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites.

Advice from Snopes.com --Very important!

1) Any time you see an email that says forward this to '10' of your friends, sign this petition or you'll get bad luck or good luck, you'll see something funny on your screen after you sent it. It almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward the mail to!

The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then it is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that tells you to send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus .... that's email tracking! They're playing on our conscience! These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease 'how would you feel if that was your child' .......they are all email tracking!!! Ignore them! Don't participate!

2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that 'mass letter' years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All that was to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers - to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes.

You can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them; you will be providing a service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in future!

If you have been sending out (ie. FORWARDING) the above kinds of email, now you know why you get so much SPAM!

Do yourself a favour and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listings, regardless how inviting they might sound, or make you feel guilty if you don't .. it's all about getting email addresses - nothing more! One email doing the rounds for the third time is the whales being killed on a beach in Denmark . Email address of every one who forwarded that are now with the spammers!

You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause - YOU ARE NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, you are helping the spammers get rich!!

Also, email petitions are NOT acceptable to the White House, Congress, UNESCO, UNICEF or any such organizations. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition. So this is a waste of time and you're just helping the email trackers.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T FORGET TO:

1. DELETE other people’s email addresses BEFORE forwarding emails that you receive.

2. When forwarding/sending email, send as b.c.c. so that the receipients'
email addresses cannot be seen or tracked.

You notice that the only name up top of this email is mine. If you wish to FORWARD this, please DELETE my name/ email address

............................. email end

I Love New Year

2010-02-13T07:23:00.001-08:00

First of all 'GONG XI FA CAI' to all who are celebrating Chinese New Year and those who are not, a Happy Holiday!!!

I love New Year, why? Can anyone guess why?

Is it becauce of lots of nice food, new cloths, new shoes, holiday, family reunion, meeting with old friends .............................???

That is not the correct answer ....

I love new year because only during this time, few dayssss before Chinese New Year I am exceptionally hard working. You see, I dont like house chores. I hate it, but when new year approaching, I can clean up every corner of my house, from front to back, from downstairs to upstairs, from cupboard to store-room, from room to room, all tolets, painting, grills, under the table, behind the cupboard, not a single space is spare.

I have to thank the bangla-worker for helping me last month to clean up places which are too high and difficult for me to clean. Luckily I have them helping or else it would be much more difficult for me to clean up now.

I must also thank the 'Cai Shen Yeh' (God of Prosperity) who motivated me to endure all the pain and ache in my body to complete all the cleaning, scrubing, painting of my house single handedly . Although there are still places not clean up yet but I think 'Cai shern Yeh' will still visit me because I have tried my very best.

See, see, see what the 'Cai Sern Yeh' brought for me? Worth the effort, right? HAHAHA

I am having a very Happy New Year and a Happy New Year to you, you and you too!!!!

Fried Banana

2010-01-25T01:11:00.000-08:00

I had fried banana for tea today. It is crispy and so yummylicious.

It is very simple to make, I mean it is very easy to make it crispy. I learned this from my cousin sister when I visited her in Port Dickson during last Christmas holiday at PD, when 6 of us finished the whole big plate of fried banana she prepared at least enough for 15 people. We felt very embarassing because before she fried, all of us were saying that each of us will have one or two pieces because we had just taken our lunch.

So here is the simple way to fried banana:

For batter : Mixed Flour, little salt, sugar and water. Dip the banana, she use 'pisang nipah', in the batter and deep fry it till golden colour.

Here is the end result. Inside is soft and sweet while outside is crispy.

I had that with a cup of tea, how about you? Tea or coffee?

Getting Ready for Chinese New Year

2010-01-17T17:57:00.000-08:00

2. Clean up the kitchen

3. Painting the car porch

4. Fixed the area in front of my house for parking.

5. Removing curtain for cleaning.

6. Clear rubbish from my store room.

7. Throw away the unwanted and old furnitures.

8. Move and re-arrange my furnitures.

etc.. etc.. etc..

I also have done most of my shopping like clothing, shoes, handbag, purse, bedsheet, curtain, decorative items, plants etc......... in December. So this year will definitely a no no rushing like before.

I am almost ready for Chinese New Year, How about you?

Celebration!

2010-01-08T21:24:00.001-08:00

We had a gathering at my sister's home recently and at the same time to celebrate a special mommy's birthday.

We decided to have simple home cook food and the following are the food we prepared for the occasion:

Cake

Sweet Sour Prawn

Poppiah. This is the best poppiah I have tried so far.

Vegetable soup.

Fried Noodle and red eggs.

Steamed Garupa Fish.

Special Curry Chicken. Mixed Vegetable.

Vinegar Pig's Trotter with eggs.

Only few dishes but that was enough to keep a few of us busy the whole day.

That was really a very happy get together to wine, dine, chat, music, hmmm...no dancing.

Here Come Bonus

2009-12-27T18:15:00.000-08:00

Now is end of the year. Almost all working adult is expecting or have already collected their bonuses. Some fat some thin bonus.

I have a thin bonus. Anyway it is better than none.

Some people may have good plan after receiving their bonuses. For me I want to save it up and this time not the grandma's way like putting it under the pillow, haha just joking.

This time I would like to invest in gold bullions and gold coins. I was not really familiar with this type of investment earlier, but thru friends and some Internet searching I am now more confident and starting to learn about what is gold coin and gold bullion and how to invest in it.

Now with FD interest rate so low, gold is definitely another better option to safely keep our hard earned money.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24T06:45:00.000-08:00

Wishing all friends, family members, neighbours : MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

I will be going to Port Dickson for Christmas and to Singapore for New Year 2010!

I am sure I will enjoy myself and hope all of you enjoy yourself too!!

Once again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Money Can Buy

2009-12-04T01:46:00.000-08:00

I stopped going to the garden for morning and evening walk recently since the committee closed the exit and fenced up the road I used to take to the garden which is situated right infront of my house. Now I have to walk a loooonnng, looonnng distance to reach the garden which is just infront of my house.

So recently I am having very little exercise and I am sure sooner or later all the health problem will surface, and wrinkle will appear, and soon I will be moving like people playing 'Tai chi'. Oh, no no no I cant let all these happen to me. I want to live healthy, I want to enjoy life, I want to stay active, I want.... I want... I want....

First thing I did was to go for facial and then go for body massage to reduce my stress and wrinkle and have a more youthful look. Who dont want to look good, betul tak?

The beautician told me that my T-zone is oily and I am having a combination skin. So she recommended me a set of Skin Care Products. Besides that I also get some Acne Products from her for my acne and most importantly I got from her something for my Age Spot and Pigmentation.

I think I am happier, healthier and less wrinkle now.

Jalan Jalan Cari Makan

2009-11-30T03:20:00.000-08:00

My girlfriends and I were in KL rounding looking for something to eat. From Jalan Pudu we went further up and turned into Jalan Peel and after passing Carefour traffic light we ended up at a stall by the road side.

The stall was packed with people. That means foods must be nice, I was guessing.

See the cars in front of me double parked? I was just following the trend, double parked too. Hehe

This is what we ordered:

Braised chicken feet. My favourite if it is fried and cooked with mushroom but this is nice too. Will go back for more of this next time. The 'char siu yoke' is really tender. We want to order 'siu yoke' (roasted pork), but according to the lady boss, it is sold off within the first hour. So at around 1 pm or earlier there wont be any more 'Siu Yoke'. This Char Siu is also one of their specialties. I saw some one ordered steam fish too and I am sure they served other dishes too.

Hot soup.
Chilli sauce.

And this is the name of the stall: It is not Reataurant Hoe Kee but the one next to it. Written in the signboard is Makanan Nasi Ayam in Malay and the rest were written in Mandarin, JIA JIA LAI..........

Big Brain

2009-11-24T07:31:00.000-08:00

Went to Mid Valley for shopping today but park my car at The Garden car park for the first time.

I always have problem locating my car after shopping so I played smart this time. I took some pictures of the location where I parked my car.

After shopping almost the whole day I forgot which lift I used earlier. So I showed the picture in my camera to the security guard and he pointed to the correct lift suppose to lead to the carpark where I parked my car.

But strangely, the picture in the camera showed B85 P4 but I walk the whole place and passed by all the B85, could'nt remember how many of it, but still no sign of my car.

I was panic because I could'nt find my car, also because I was all alone in the carpark and with so many emails telling about the happening at carpark at the shopping complexes, I was worried, really worried for my security.

At last I found my car. It was parked at B86. Actually I stood near my car and took a picture of the pillar opposit my car. Hahaha smart right?

'Big Head Prawn' Haha

I Am Back!

2009-11-19T01:37:00.000-08:00

I think as a blogger I need to be more responsible and not just leave my blog on sleeping mode for too long. Anyway this time I have a good excuse for doing so.

Actually I had a problem with my computer. It just closed down every few minutes and I cant reformat my computer before I save up my important files.

Today I called the HP care center and they help guide me to Save Mode and son told me to save file in the extra hard disk in my computer from Safe Mode. Oh, I didn't know I can do that to save the files. I should have asked them earlier. Anyway I will keep all my important file in an external hard disk to save all these trouble in the future.

Being unable to access my blog and go visiting other blogs is really a torture for me.

I do miss you, you, you and you. Do you miss me?

I have been receiving this email from different person since 5 years ago and they have not stop sending although they have told me again and again this is the last chance for me to claim my $$$$$MILLION$$$$$.

I am sure many of you also receive this annoying email before and how do you stop them from sending? I send them into the spam mail folder but they can break the spam and send to my normal mail.

I know this is not real but just wonder what do they get by sending me this type of information over and over again.

It is really annoying to see this type of mail everyday. How I wish I could find where these gangs are and squeeze them into a bottle and let them see me dancing with joy from inside.

Home Sweet Home

2009-10-23T20:00:00.000-07:00

I have just sent away my Old bulky TV set together with some other old items from my home to the recycle centre.

Now I have lots of space for some new furnitures and a new TV set. Should I go for Sumsung TV or Toshiba TV? A leather sofa set or one with fabric which need to wash often?

I really have to have some thinking or I might end up regret again which happened very often to me.

Do you have anything to give away for charity or for recycle? Please contact : 03-90211888 or visit their website: recyclecharity.org

Living With The Hooligans

2009-10-13T03:00:00.001-07:00

There are fighting at the USJ area among the residents because part of the residents has converted the garden into guarded and gated community which has caused more inconvenience than any good. They use the ugly fencing to fence up the place and employ some dummy security guards to harass the residents and put up the barricades wherever they like and close it whenever they like it.

The above is the barricade broken by some angry residents of this area.
.
No body sees the fight but they only see the ugly fencing and the dummy security guard getting fatter everyday.

The entrance and exit near my house is closed permanently. Due to this I have to often park my car opposite my house to avoid taking a big turn just to drop my marketing and out again using the steps I built. The same steps I use to take to go garden which is so convenience is now removed and the area fenced up.

Hey, I am no criminal, I don't harassed people, I don't collect unlawful money, I don't misled the residents like you and why am I being caged in like you, committee members?

. The above picture is the fencing right in front of my house's main gate. I put the newspaper there to show how ugly it looks with one side lower than the other. The committee members has either done it purposely because I objected to the gated and guarded idea or they really are not qualify to take the responsibility of the community's security and our garden's image.

With most of the road closed, I just couldn't imagine what will happen in case of emergency. The fire brigade or ambulance have to take time to look for entrance or exit or they have to take time to breakdown the closed and locked gate. What is the point of building the entrance and sealed it?

My personal life is badly affected by this group of hooligan.

I am very confused. When there is no road, the people rally and request to have road built and when there is road, they allowed it closed. Any logic?

Moon Cake Festival

2009-10-02T01:12:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow, 3rd October, is the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival or Moon Cake festival or lantern festival, which is on the 15th day of the 8th month of Chinese lunar calendar. On the day the moon is believe to be roundest and brightest signalling a time of completeness and abundance.

I usually celebrate in my mum's house with my sisters, brothers and the children. After the dinner, we move the table outside the house and savor the mooncake with Chinese tea, peanut, fruits etc... while the children parade with their colourful lanterns.

It is indeed a very happy get together every year.

Eat First, Pay Later

2009-09-21T07:42:00.000-07:00

Today dinner at Dynasty Dragon Seafood Restaurant, Summit Subang USJ. The name sound really grand ya? I didn't notice there is this restaurant which is situated at Summit Complex facing the main road. I must be having cock eye. Haha!

Sorry for the poor picture quality. Still not sure how to use my Cannon camera in night time.

Waiting for food to be served.

Start with a bowl of shark's fin soup.

Then rice with claypot Toufu.

Stir fried bamboo shoot with prawn.

Steam fish slices. Wah, very fresh and tasty. No wonder people still dine there although the food is a bit expensive.

Mmm... yummy, yummy, yummy..... Don't worry, eat first, next month the bank will tell me how much to pay.

Let's enjoy!!

Shopping For A Pram

2009-09-13T05:26:00.000-07:00

Recently I was so sick and feeling so weak, I was lying in bed almost everyday doing nothing after the medication. The only thing I could do was close my eyes and recall those old memories, when I was young, when my children were small and all things that happened during those good old days.

Time flies. My children are now grown up.

I remember very well once I went shopping with my elder son who was about 3 years old then, looking for a suitable pram for my new born baby. I brought the maid along thinking she would take care of my son while I do my shopping.
Suddenly I realized my son was not with the maid while she happily shopping with her two eyes, forgetting she was there for a very important mission.

I got panic, almost crying with all sort of funny thinking haunting and clouding my mind. The shopping complex was so crowded and I was wondering how to find my son in the sea of people.

I did not go to the information centre thinking it wouldn't help and even if they announced, a small boy would not know how to response to the announcement. I didn’t realize then that it could help alert the security and also I had under estimated my son’s capability. Luckily I have always told my son what to do if he is lost in a shopping complex, to either find a security guard or stand at a corner until I come.

Suddenly I saw my son standing in one corner as if he was waiting for me to fetch him. Oh! What a relief to see him!

I found the pram later but the choice were quite limited at the shopping complex.

If you are looking for a pram too why not try this online shopping site with 3000 stores to offer you anything and everything you need with better deal and saving. Happy shopping!!

Oh God! I May Be Carrying H1N1

2009-08-22T05:34:00.000-07:00

I am having flu, cough and sore throat. Symptoms very close to the recent epidemic, which make me a little panic now.

I was not worried earlier and have been travelling to Kuching last month to visit my friends and been to some trade show display centre, visit all PC fair exhibit booths at KL Convention Centre, to PD for a break and to the shopping centre for the BIG sales. All those places were very crowded which I think is not advisable to expose ourselves there.

Now suddenly I am down with flu, cough and sore throat. Although confirmed by the doctor that I have no fever I still worry that the medication may weaken my immune system. Now I have to be very careful with my diet, making doubly sure I eat well and keep physical and mentally strong.

I think I should be staying at home for the time being, and not out to spread the flu to others. So just forget about the grand sales and the MATTA fair which will be starting 4th September at the moment.

Look at the *smart* Orang Utan below, unlike me, they have no health problem, no worry, no pressure, no financial need, just live a carefree and happy life!

Fresh Air And Sun Shine

2009-08-18T07:25:00.000-07:00

Take a cool dip in the swimming pool and relaxing by the pool away from home. That was what I have just done last week and I think I will do it more often from now on.

Went to Avillion Port Dickson Water Challet last week. PD is just about 1.5 hours drive away from where I am staying now and yet I have negleted it so long. The last I went there was more than 5 years ago.

Port Dickson is my home town. I grown up there and my home was just next to the popular seaside at Teluk Kemang. Picture below shown the place where I used to visit almost everyday when I was young, picking seashell either alone or with friends.

I have changed a lot *ol oredi* but the beach is still very much the same.

The picture below is the Blue Lagoon. There were some development there but still looks a little quite.

Hey, Mr Postman

2009-08-12T02:34:00.000-07:00

I am feeling relieved and in a happier mood recently. Hmm.. Wonder why?

The bad neighbors have moved out, yeah!!!

Since I heard they were moving out few months ago, I have been holding my breath counting the day and hoping that they will not change their mind and stay on.

I am not the only one bullied by them. Their daughter-in-law has moved out earlier because she couldn’t stand the bully too.

Actually their presence were causing me worry and lots of inconvenience. See, I have my own letter box but some of the letters ended up in their rubbish bin, why? Could it be Mr. Postman dropped wrongly into their box or they came stealing it from my letter box while I was out? This has caused me great concern but nothing much I could do about it.

Some of you must be thinking how am I so sure that my letters were missing and they were the one stealing it or Mr. Postman dropped the letters wrongly. Here is the proof:

They don’t have a rubbish chute and they place a rubbish bin in front of my house which irritates me a lot. Sometimes the stray dogs and cats came messed up the bin and there were twice I found my letters inside the bin. I was really angry but I couldn’t do anything, just pretended nothing has happened rather than making a scene out of it.

If you have a bullying neighbor like my ex, I suggest you get a whitehall mailbox with a lock and keep a bull dog for double security.

Now that they have moved, I should praise myself for being so patience, tolerant, good hearted etc…etc… etc.. hehehe....self praise…..

Aunty Farmer

2009-07-11T23:20:00.000-07:00

I am going to start planting organic vegetable at my little garden.
.
Looks like an easy job but actually it is really tough just to plough and loosen up the soil alone. And with a small hoe like this it is even tougher. I am having backache bone ache all over for the past few days.

Now I can feel the muscle in my arm and my finger going out of shape already. Seriously have to think of getting a gardener to help me.

Went to a nursery at Sungai Buloh to buy some organic soil and 'natural' fertiliser today.

Very soon i will have my own supply of organic vegetable, Heeeeeehehheeeee.....

Have you seen an Aunty farmer before? Soon I will look like one .... dark, muscular and tough!!!!

Hey Mr Thief! You Are Being Watched!

2009-06-28T07:10:00.000-07:00

My brother woke up one morning last week and found the money in his and the wife’s purse which they left by the bedside, two hand phones, a bag, gold chain, touch N go from the car were missing. When they checked thru their house, they found that the house keys and car keys were lying on the floor, other than that everything were intact.

The first person they suspected was their Indonesian maid which she denied she has anything to do with it. There was no proof that she did it and according to my brother, she can be trusted. Well, for me, hmmm ...frankly I dont trust anyone.

Although my brother reported the case to the police station, they are not able to claim any losses from the insurance company because there were no sign of breaking in.

Now my brother is seriously thinking of installing the ADT security system at home like the alarm and home security surveillance system. It should be a good move to keep his house under monitoring 24 hours a day and 7 days and week.

With the crime rate and burglary on the rise day by day, a good home security system is important to help minimize the chances of you and your family dealing with these crimes, it also provide safety for a family and give complete peace of mind whether we are at home or away from home.

Oh Dear, What Happened To My Pearl!

2009-06-20T07:04:00.000-07:00

I used to get the part time gardeners to cut the grass at my garden last time. Later I paid them to plant the pearl grass which cost me RM600.00 (was cheated) but the result was not satisfactory because the soil were not properly treated before they started planting the pearl grass.

Wild plant stated invading my pearl territory since I stopped gardening last year because of the neighbors.

All these plants below were actually moved from my garden to the back of my house temporarily, waiting for 'the bad neighbour to move out', hopefully soon.

My empty pots which were once grown with flower were kept at the back of my house too waiting for 'the bad neighbour to move out', hopefully soon!

I need a zero turn mowers to clear the wild grass or an excavator to dig and loosen up my garden so that I can start planting beautiful grass and flowers when 'the bad neighbors move out', hopefull soon. Hehe I am actually talking out of anger. What I need is actually some proper garden equipment like a hoe and a post hole digger to dig some holes and do my planting.

Dine Out

2009-06-19T06:33:00.000-07:00

Today dinner at Dragon-i Restaurant, I-Utama with younger son. We were greeted by the terracotta at the entrance.

Shanghai dumpling. This is a cold dish, pork with jelly fish. In the menu the picture looks tempting but not the real thing and the taste. But I like the jelly fish.

TianJin meat bun. Couldn't finish, so 'tapau' back home.

Sweet sour king prawn.

Spicy beef noodle. Son said the noodle is nice.

Seafood fried rice.
.

To me, thinking of what to eat and what to cook is really a headache. I can't be eating out everyday because it is too costly; 2nd, outside food is not so healthy, it is too oily and most restaurant use recyled oil to cook; 3rd, not sure whether the vegetable is properly clean etc........ so once in a while eating out is no problem but not everyday Hor!

Please Keep In Touch

2009-06-18T16:51:00.000-07:00

My friend, Angie, has just got married not long ago and has since been relocated. Being so used to directv at home she was worried she will be missing all her favorite programmes and will be bored in the new environment. She decided to find a suitable Direct TV service which provide entertainment and at the same time not too costly. But now I doubt she will have the time like before for Directv. LOL

There are directv in NY, CA, FL etc.... So entertainment is really not a problem when I am old and wherever I will be. I think I am worrying too much and been thinking too far as if I will live up to 100 years old like our fellow blogger, foongpc. LOL

Anyway, I will be visiting Angie with 2 of her friends in July. She has helped us booked our returned ticket from 15th July. So, stay tuned for my update ok!

I Came Back Hungry

2009-06-15T18:58:00.000-07:00

After shopping at Sunway Pyramid last Sunday, my son suggested we go for something to eat. That was when the argument starts again:

son : Korean foods.

me : Chinese foods.

son : Siamese foods.

me : Chinese foods.

son : Japanese foods.

me : Ok, ok, ok! Anything lah!

At last we decided to go Sushi Zanmai for sushi although I was so persistent about Chinese foods.

The foods were cold I had to drink many cups of this hot tea to help warm up my stomach. I ate 3 pieces, not 3 plates, of those shushi and that is, and find it terribly stinking. Thousand apologies to all you sushi lover, sorry to sushi outlet owners, sushi friends, sorry, sorry, sorry for my comments.... Anyway, my son enjoyed the food and looked at the way he ate you know foods is nice. Waiter checking whether we ate enough to get the free voucher. Off course we didnt get any voucher and hopefully not because that would mean return again.

Home Is Where I Want To Be

2009-06-14T04:59:00.000-07:00

I admit I am not a perfect neighbor but I am a friendly neighbor and will never ignore an acknowledgement even from a stranger. But I also admit I am being forced to be a choosy neighbor and only initiate a conversation with neighbor which I think can be friends.

I cannot be staying inside my house all the time. I need to breath and I need to do my gardening. The trouble is the terrible neighbor at the left hand side is really irritating. I have tolerated them all these while by ignoring them. ‘Shoo… shoo… go away’, I told them softly and off course they didn’t hear me. Well, if it makes them happy, then go ahead, just hope they don’t coup up and end up with having illnesses. What a silly way to release their tension.

To avoid seeing them, I have some ideas but not sure yet to do it. See, while I was shopping for lightings this afternoon; I found this shop providing custom made pergola and I think a pergola at the left hand side of my garden with blinds should be a good temporally solution to my problem. So when I don’t feel like seeing the terrible neighbor, I just have to pulled down the blinds. And with some beautifully designed lightings, furniture and furnishing it should be a great place for me to relax, do my gardening, reading and even blogging inside. Hahaha, don’t you think that is a great idea?

Now, I am going to look for some fine art lamps for my private, cozy corner.

Switch On The Light, Please

2009-06-04T20:01:00.000-07:00

While I was cooking one day, my kitchen light suddenly went off with a soft sparkling sound and I smell something burning.

Wao, that was nothing to joke about at all. It seems like a small matter but it could lead to big fire too.

Actually I have just changed the lighting from an ordinary fluorescent light to a fancier one thinking more expensive one would be safer. Too bad it turn out to be opposite.

After the incident, many things came to my mind:

1. What is the cause of the problem?

2. Who is at fault? Was it the manufacturer, the contractor or my house wiring problem?

3. What type of lighting should I go for?

4. Which brand is safer and more durable?

Whatever is the reason, I still have to have lighting in my house. Now, let me plan a little what lighting to use before I call in a contractor.

For the kitchen I will always stick to fluorescent light with extra brightness to make sure I can see all the tiny worms hiding in the vegetable and to avoid adding sugar instead of salt to my cooking or vise versa.

For dinning hall, I would like something dimmer because on a table, there should be enough light to see the person across the table but not too bright that distract from the mood of the candle like kind of mood I am creating.

And the planning goes on for my hall downstairs and upstairs, my room, my children’s rooms, etc. Not an easy task because I would like to have some beautiful designer lamp which might involve more money. But I think it is worth the money because a beautiful lamp is like an art and it does not only help brighten up, it helps beautify our rooms. So there will be some fancier designed lighting to replace the outdated ones.

I think I will go visit some online store like shopwiki for some lamps buying guides.

Making Dumpling

2009-05-27T06:35:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is dumpling festival. As usual my mom will prepare dumpling for us.

This is the first year I am taking part in helping because it is high time I learn the trade, so that I can make for my children in future.

Nowadays you can buy dumpling at almost any wet market and everyday but it is never as nice as the one prepared by my mum. My mum's taste almost 200% better than those bought outside. Hehehe, there is no exaggeration.

The following are the ingredients needed for the dumpling:
1. Pork

2. Oysters (soak)

3. Garlic
4. Nuts (soak and clean)

5. Mushroom (soak)6. 5-spice powder & white pepper

8. The ready ingredients (pork, nut, mushroom, oyster, garlic, 5-spice power, pepper, sugar & salt)
9. Leave and string (boil the leave and clean with a piece of cloth one by one)

10. Rice and bean with some salt, sugar and pepper and 5-spice powder.

9. The ready dumpling

9. Cover and boil it for 2 hours. We didn't use the pressure cooker so to avoid the boiling water overflowing, we add a porcelain spoon into the boiling water and strangely the water stop flowing out.

And if you think that is just an easy job then take a look at this Ah Soh's sweaty face and her messy hair.

Dinner Time

2009-05-16T07:52:00.000-07:00

Ho, ho, ho no need to cook for dinner! That will mean no need washing, no need cleaning but that will also mean more money is needed to pay for the food!

Went to Ah Yat Forum Restaurant at Avenue K @ Jalan Ampang for dinner.

Whenever I think of Ah Yat Restaurant, it linked me to dishes like Abalone, Shark's fin, Sucking pig, Fish maw, seafoods, famous Hong Kong foods, Dim Sums, Buddha Jump Over The Wall, etc..... All so yummy, but expensive too.

We decided to order the set meal which consists of 7 dishes :

1. Prawn and century egg in jelly basket.

2. Shark's fin soup. The soup is not too thick and is very, very nice.

3. Clay Pot Seafoods with a small abalone, scallop, sea cucumber, fish maw and mushroom.

4. The fatttttty 'TongPo' pork. This is my favourite dish, but is a little too fat errr... I told the captain that it was too fat and requested for a change but she said it's all the same and this dish should be fatty, without fat it wouldn't be nice. I think they should have let us have a choice whether we want a fatty one or less fatty one. Anyway, with plenty of guilty feeling for my heart, I let it slowly melt into my stomach. It was really yummy. 5, Rice with Pork Rib and Mushroom with some sauce. 6. Vegetable. It is a little overcooked but nice too.

Actually all those dishes were just enough to fill our stomach but we ordered an extra dish of noodle. I knew it will never be too much with my sons around. And true enough, we managed to finished all our food, including the noodle.

At last we had our desserts. It is Mango pudding. Something is missing in this meal, guess what?

Is the fruits and the wine. To me, a meal is never complete without a glass of wine. Anyway we had continuous flow of Chinese tea to replace the wine. Come, lets 'yummmmm cha'.

I Think I Am Very Normal, How About You?

2009-04-25T00:54:00.000-07:00

Everybody wants to stay beautiful, healthy and happy, but that is almost impossible for us to stay like that forever. We grow old, our hairs and teeth go missing one by one and there are ups and downs in life, and our bone strink, and wrinkle in the face, and.............

Anyway, I am not worried because it would be silly wasting time worrying for something which is not in my control. What I want to do now is to try the best I could to stay happy and healthy. Below is a simple check list to see if I am keeping myself well and to find out what are the areas need improvements:

1. Food is vital to keep me healthy, so, besides my proper meals, I also pop in some necessary Vitamins & supplements like : Calcium & Glucosamine to strengthen my bone, Vitamin E & Omega 3&6 to wash away the cholesterol, Vitamin C for my skin, B for slimming and relaxation ++++ Multi-vitamin just in case I missed out some essential vitamins in my diet. Mmm.. need to improve my cooking, so I have appetite to eat more.

2. I go for facial once every 2 months. Apart from that I also use a lot of protection for my skin days and nights, like toner, moisturizer, lotion for lifting, for whitening, for wrinkle, sun block etc, etc, etc ... Mmm .. need to boil some beauty sweet soup more often.

3. For exercise, I go jogging in the evening, line dance, gardening and singing (lung exercise, hehehe). Mmm... My garden is not getting better but worst. Need a gardener to help out.

4. I do prayer at home everyday, once in the morning and once in the evening if I have the time. Mmm.... Need to be more committed spiritually.
5. For Family life, I am not sure I am a good mother. For that I would like to leave it to my sons to rate me. Mmm...I would rate myself 6/10.

6. Job? I am a mother, a house maid with never ending house chores and a sole bread earner. Mmm... Need to increase my income. By the way, how many people are not as money face as me??

7. Social life? Mmm... Seriously need some adjustment and time management. I... NEED... MORE FRIENDS .....of same frequency!!!

It Worked For Me!

2009-04-04T08:34:00.001-07:00

I've found a cure for cough, sore throat and ulcer. I don’t know whether if it works on you but it does work for me like miracle.

I was always complaining that the doctor's medication couldn’t cure my cough. So, recently when I was having cough I decided not to waste my money to see a doctor because the last time I had a cough I consulted 2 doctors and the first doctor I went twice for medications. It was like paying for nothing or paying for more trouble because I ended up very weak, the medications make me lose my appetite.

For Cough:

Put some Red dates, pure honey, a cup of water in a steaming pot. Steam it for 2 hours and drink it.

For ulcer and sore throat:

.
I keep a cucumber in my fridge. Each time I feel my throat a little dry or feel like I am going to have sore throat, I will cut 3 or 4 slices of Japanese Cucumber and chew in my mouth. It is very sweet and crispy but I usually don’t take a lot because it may be too cooling for me.

It is simple as that and it works really well when I started to feel the symptoms.
.
For serious cases is still better to consult a doctor.

Who Goes To Heaven?

2009-03-25T07:20:00.000-07:00

A monk and a butcher were good friends and they were good neighbors too.

Every morning when the butcher woke up to work he would wake the monk up for prayer and the monk would do the same for the butcher.

These went on for many years until they were old and finally die.

One of them ended up in heaven and the other ended up in hell.

Dear friends, do you know which one ended up in heaven and which goes to hell and why?

The answer :

The butcher who woke the monk up every morning for prayer went to heaven and the monk who woke the butcher up for slaughtering ended up in hell.

Life Is Like Riding In A Roller Coaster

2009-03-13T23:17:00.000-07:00

Things have been happening one after another to me this year. Not good things but lousy things. Anyway when bad things go, good things will follow suit. That is my philosophy. There is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, beginning this year, my 2nd sister has been calling and bugging me that this year is not a good year for me and I have to pray harder. She warn me to be careful and not to take risk, no investment, no lending money to others, no unnecessary spending, no gambling and blar, blar, blar…….. But I told her that our life is such that every year there is good and bad happening and some time roads get a little winding and tides get a little rough but that is the way that trained me up all these years.

Ah..ha.. Talking about gambling, that is proven. Every year during Chinese New Year, all my brothers and sisters will be in the mood for gambling. Every body is trying to fish the money from another person. I knew well in advance that my luck this year is not good for gambling but just for the sack of proving it I joined in the fun. And I paid a big price for the answer.

And things don’t just stop there. Recently a few more things happened and money was being fished out from my pocket due to that:

First, my car’s two side tyres were stolen right in front of Summit Shopping Centre housing area in a bright day light, where there are many passer by.

Second, my house auto-gate was out of order. I have changed the whole control panel before New Year and now the lightning strike on it and there goes my money again.

Third, one of my front teeth chips off. Luckily it didn’t cost me very much to paste it back but still some money gone out of my pocket.

Forth, today my son who is under 21 years old was driving and met with an accident. It was a chain accident involving 4 cars, and his was the last to ram into the car in front of him. Now I have to pay out of my pocket RM400.00 to the insurance company because my son is underage and RM300.00 for traffic offence.

Fifth, I dropped my phone accidentally and now I need a new phone.

Sixth, something valuable was stolen from my house by some one which I suspected is the cleaner. I cannot confirmed because I don't have the proof. I have sounded it out to show that I knew my thing is missing and that I am aware of it.

Anyway things always happen for a reason and my interpretation are:

1. For stolen tyres - I have to be more careful where to park my car in the future.

2. My auto gate - It gives me a reason to pay the worker in this difficult time.

3. My teeth chips off - Enjoy life, don’t rush, take time to slowly chew my food like I used to do.

4. Car accident: It is a good lessen for my son. I have told him that whenever he is in a hurry, don’t rush; and whenever he is sleepy, don’t drive. It is better late than never. Now I supposed he gets what I meant.

5. For my hand phone – It is a good excuse to have a new one.

6. For the stolen thing - Well, just keep the valuables away from the open. We are born with nothing and go with nothing. Life and health is most valuable.

Anyway, things happened everyday and not all the happenings are on the newspaper to warn us. For example my nephew’s car was stolen last week at Subang Jaya, right in front of the bank where he works; and there are kidnapping and road bullies that happen everyday. There were once some one ram into my car and worrying that I would ask him to pay because he was in the wrong, he came threatening me with a stick. The guy was really brainless and wasting space in this world.

Anyway, life is not as scarry as riding in the roller coaster. Oh! No? Not scary? To me riding roller coaster is like going to hell and back again.

I would prefer see saw!

Strange Things Happen Everyday

2009-02-21T03:03:00.000-08:00

Last weekend, I went to attend a funeral in Singapore. It was the funeral of an old lady of almost 90 years old; she is my 3rd sister's mother-in-law.

In such a sad occasion every one tense to tune to sad mood (have to pretend a little) at least for the first few hours. After that we were actually having some fun cracking jokes and laughing away. What else to do, foods were served promptly and everything were so well taken care of.

On the last day of the funeral, the 7th day, one of my cousin sisters came. She is about my elder sister’s age which is about 18 years older than me and my younger sister but we both usually pretend to know their friends and some older cousins of their age very well.

While they were chatting, I realized my elder sister’s face suddenly change to a serious look. I drew close to them and listened to the conversation and occasionally I interrupted their conversation in order to get a clearer picture of her story.

Actually one of my cousin’s younger boys Eugene passed away a year ago while he was in an overseas working trip. One day, after work, he went for a swim at his apartment and was drown due to heart problem, which I didn’t have the time to find out more. What interests me was what the parent encountered after his death. The following are some of the encounters she told us:

1. First thing they encounter was on the 7th day after the son's death. While my cousin and her husband were sleeping they felt the bed shaking very hard and instantly they guessed that the son were at home. My cousin started to talk to him although she was not sure what happened actually and what to do.

2. She placed his ashes in a temple. One day an old lady at the temple were doing meditation as usual and suddenly she dosed off and saw a young man standing in front of her. She felt very strange and suddenly she realized the young man looked like my cousin’s son. So she went and tells my cousin about it.

3. One day my cousin’s elder son, George went for a swim. On the way back he realized he left his wallet at the poolside. So he returned to find it. Earlier some one had returned the wallet to the security department and asked to return to the owner. The manager checked the Identity card and he said it belonged to Eugene, which is George’s late brother. They felt very strange and when they checked the Identity Card again; the name printed was actually George. And none of them met or knew about both the brothers earlier.

4. Every year the whole family will go back to Penang to celebrate the grandfather’s birthday. For last year, one day before they went back to Penang my cousin went to the temple where she placed Eugene’s ashes, and told him about the trip. The second morning my cousin and her family started the journey at about 4 am in the morning. While the father was driving, he saw Eugene face appears at the windscreen.

It is hard to believe right? Now let me tell you about one of my many own encounters.

One day, last year, I came back home at night at about 11.00 pm after attending a funeral. When I entered the gate my neighbor’s dog which will only bark at the stranger suddenly bark at me very fiercely. At first I didn’t feel anything wrong but suddenly my hair stand and I felt strange. I started to say prayer before I enter my house.

My 2nd sister too had a strange encounter. She went for an operation at the Subang Medical Centre 2 years ago. She has a son and a daughter who accompanied her to the hospital. After her children went back the nurse told her that her 3rd son was still outside. She argued she has only one son and one daughter but the nurse argued she saw her 2 sons and she said her younger son looks very pale. Actually my sister had a miscarriage long ago after her son was born.

Am I or my cousin sister or my sister been thinking too much? Or is there something wrong with us?

To All Who Are Single Again

2009-02-06T18:41:00.000-08:00

Another friend of mine, who is single again is getting married.

I admire her courage to take up a new relationship.

For me, I have lost interest, lost confident, lost the courage to do that. Otherwise I would have been a millionaire's wife now.

Actually someone who is a friend of my childhood friend were interest in me and came promised me love, roses, money, travelling ... the promises given to me were so tempting but I still cant do like the frog in Ipoh, to close an eye and jump into the millions.

Well that is over now and it is alright for me because I am feeling as free as a bird and I am keeping myself busy and happy, although occasionally I am facing a different kind of pressure being a single but compared to the pressure given by a partner, this is nothing.

I am not trying to discourage anyone from a new relationship, but if you think you really have found a person who can be trusted, then go ahead and go ahead to regret if you found that is a wrong decision. Rather than you sit and regret you have not given yourself a second chance, *sigh* like me lor.
.

Again I would like to say, it is ok to try something and feel regret later rather than you REGRET later that you have not tried anything at all in your life.

Right?!?!
.

Life is short, so lets enjoy life to the fullest!

Sexy Lingerie

2009-01-16T02:20:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine got married last year.

Now we have less time to meet each other. We used to see each other once in a while for shopping or for dinner before she got married. Now she is more occupied with her family and for me I have found something else to keep myself busy.
.

I wonder whether she likes the presents I bought for her wedding - sexy nightie. The idea actually came while I was surfing the net. I found this site with sexy lingerie and I was thinking mmm... good idea, may be a sexy nightie should be suitable for her nights?
.

Instead of cracking my head further over what to buy, I went to a shop selling sexy lingerie and there I found something similar to the picture below, which I thought is perfect for her.
I am always fascinated with sexy lingerie, but usually I would only buy something which is practical and suitable for myself, something which cover me a little more. Well, I think every women is desire to look and feel sexy and soft sexy clothing is just a way to show their femininity and sexiness.

The Countdown

2009-01-14T05:29:00.003-08:00

Chinese New Year is getting closer. Like most typical Chinese, I am also emtying my purse for decorative items for the house, Ang-pow (red packet with money), food and clothing. Apart from that I am also spending my time making sure that my house looks clean and attractive this year so that the prosperity god will visit me as he always does before.

Let me start the countdown before it is too late :

1. 14th - Shop for both big and small lanterns, other decorative items, 2 pots of lime trees and few pots of plants with flower.
- Send greeting cards.

2. 15th - Clean and arrange my wardrobe and get rid of all unwanted clothing.

3. 16th - Paint my gate.

4. 17th - Gardening.

5. 18th - Bake Cookies.

6. 19th - Change new cash notes from bank and get the 'Ang-pow' ready for my children, nieces and nephews.

7. 20th - To clean up my store room, windows, doors, grills, wash curtains, cushions etc...

8. 21st - Shop for my new dress, shoes, handbag etc...

9. 22nd - Send car to mechanic for servicing, make sure it doesn't break down during the New Year.

10. 23rd - Shop for dried food like - red dates, sea cucumber, fish maw, black fungus, tofu skin, rice ......

11. 24th - Make a visit to the wet market - Fish, prawn, chicken, pork, pineapple, mandarin oranges, vegetables, seasonings ....

12. 25th - Chinese new year's eve. I will be busy giving my house a thorough cleaning, to make sure all the ill-fortune are swept away and welcoming the good luck.

Yea it's a handful of chores, so as you'd have guessed, i'm not doing all this by myself. My "maids' will help me.

When I said maids I meant sons :)

This time I will split the job evenly so as not to get grumpy sons this festive season.

Here comes Santa!

HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I Am What I am

2008-12-19T04:25:00.000-08:00

I would give only what I could give

Many a time I have tried to be

What others want me to be - and failed

I cannot be all things to all people

And it was not until I recognised that in myself

And saw the limitations of my own capacities

That I began to be able to accept myself

and give up some of my quilts....

I cannot run a mile in 5 minutes

Nor soar like a gull in the morning skies

And there are mornings when

The day seems to stretch into disaster

And there would always be those times, those days

And if I recognise them not as failures and weaknesses

But part of my basic humanness

And the right to be imperfect

I will never have to be afraid again .....

That is one thing I have learned

And it has helped me now

At least to stand alone

Without the need to clutch and cling for support.......

Still,

It would be good if there is someone

It is not fun to be alone .... sometimes

Decorating My Home Sweet Home

2008-12-14T01:17:00.000-08:00

Shopping is really a difficult task for me. Why do I say that?

Remember earlier I wrote about how I went round searching for electrical items for my house with a friend of mine who was also doing house renovation then.

We went shopping until we nearly gave up thinking that was enough; just leave it to the contractor. But we did not do that because we knew we may be ending up with more headaches if we were to do that.
.
So continuously for almost 5 weekends, we were driving around, visiting all the shopping mall, lighting & electrical shops, trying to find the items that suit our house and our budget. We actually ended up paying more for the entire item because we can’t afford to go round comparing prices. When we found something that is of good quality and suit out taste, we just grab.
.
Can you imagine how tedious it was to go round finding all these items? Like:
.
Lighting, Bathtub, Tower hanger, Kitchen tray, Cloth hanger, Exhaust fan, Ceiling Fan, Water heater, Kettle, Stove, Kitchen sink, Water Tap, Sofa, Kitchen table, Kitchen cabinet, Washing machine, Floor Tile, Door knob……..etc….etc… the list just goes on.. and on…
.
That is enough. What I want to do now is sit at home and go to some of the websites introduced by friends and do my shopping.
.

It's Time I Change For a Better Tomorrow

2008-12-13T19:31:00.000-08:00

While I was having my meal today, I suddenly realised my life is kind of boring. I realized I forgot to live, I just managed to survive. Everyday what I do is planning for what to eat for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner, for myself and for my children..... and working .....

One more thing I forget is to be a nice and well-mannered person.

Am I that bad???? Lets see!
******

******

If well-mannered girls are those who :

Do not offend others

Do not become angry easily

Do not turn evil for evil

Do not monopolize conversation

Do not interrupt when someone else is talking

In brief, they are :Kind, Friendly, Respectful, Courteous, Agreeable, Patient, Civil and Generous.

Now let me rate myself:

1. I've lost my patient. Unlike those days I was really patient. (-1 point)

2. I am always not agreeable with others. I always have something to add or to correct about others opinions. (-1 point)

3. I am too straight forward in giving comments about others. I meant good without realizing it is hurting. (-1 point)

4. I often scold people in my heart, *%&X! #?!* instead of openly, whenever someone irritates me. (- 1 point)

5. I am not very friendly to my neighbors who bullied me, who tried to kick me out of my own home. (-1 point)

6. I talk more than I listen. (- 0.5 point)

The result?............

****10 - 5.5 = 4.5 ****

Help, I Am Starving!

2008-12-08T20:35:00.000-08:00

See what I have done to my pot again?

This is not the first time I throw away my pot. It is the 3rd times.
.

So, I have found a few solutions :
.

1. No more boiling soup.
.

2. Buy cheap pot, so I dont feel the pinch when I need to throw away..
.

3. Take a chair and sit at the kitchen and wait until the soup is ready.
.

4. Use a big pot and put lots of water and let it boils for as long as I am busy.

5. Dont boil soup at home, cater.
.

6. Use slow cooker.
.

7. An electric cooker with timer.
.

To punish myself, I stop cooking and stuff myself with cheese cake for lunch, tea, dinner and supper.

Errr......Eeee.... I dont think I will ever want cheese cake again for a long, long time.

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping For Christmas, For New Year

2008-12-04T14:15:00.000-08:00

Every now and then I would shop for clothes for my two sons be it formal or casual attire. Usually I would go to malls or shops to look for anything interesting that would also look good on my sons. Ooh well, that’s what all moms want right? For their sons to look better compared to others.
So yea, sometimes I walk around malls the whole day and can’t find something nice or something that catches my fancy. Sometimes I just find what I want but never able to pair it up with anything.
It really is a pain in the rear sometimes, you not able to get what you want. Getting my feet soar for nothing… until I got the internet. I can search for whatever I want, anytime I want. It’s a big big net world out there, if you get what I mean. There are lots of sites that I can look for clothes and I would never have to leave the comfort of my chair.

Of all the websites introduced by friends and I’ve been to, there is this particular one, Shopwiki really got my attention, that I will go back each time whenever I need. It’s like it has anything I need or want to look for. And the best part of it is, there are descriptions and ideas on what to pair each clothing with.

You can also search for other stuff that you want to buy. And it’ll lead you to the most possible site that you can purchase it from. Pretty nifty huh? Well, I’ve been using it for quite some time now and I think I won’t be able to find anything better anytime soon.

A Smile From The Sky

I Saw A Ghost!!!

2008-11-15T21:29:00.001-08:00

I have started spring cleaning a week ago, getting ready for Christmas and Chinese New Year 2009.
.
I took 2 and a half month for cleaning up last year when I don't have a part time maid to help clean my window, grill, fans, curtain, cushion, garden etc. Now with a part time maid, I guess I will need about a month to complete the cleaning and start planning for other thing for my new year.
.
How I wish I could take leave for one month and concentrate on my cleaning. Any way that shouldn't be a problem. I just have to adjust a little of my working hours.
.
I woke up at 5.30 am today with my mind still half dreamy I started cleaning up. With my blur, blur eyes I looked out of my kitchen window toward my neighbour's house from my kitchen and guess what I see ? A......... G..G.GHOST!!!!
.
Don't believe? Off course is hard to make all of you believe if there is no proof, so I quickly took out my camera and take a picture of the ghost with face so pale, hair and tongue so long.
.
Here is the picture to proooof I didn't lie at all!
.

.
Ooooops! too dark to see anything, lets try again :
.

.
See that? Not clear? Then take a look at the next picture!
.

Sorry, that was just a black sunshade cap and a broom stick. I think I need a pair of glasses or I have been thinking too much!

Hehehe, so embarrassing. *blush*blush*

George Carlin

2008-11-10T05:54:00.000-08:00

Received the following message via email :

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin :

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.

We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've c! leaned u p the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to other people....Who cares?

Georg! e Carlin

Aunty Duck Talking To Uncle Chicken

2008-11-09T00:49:00.000-08:00

Streamyx bill has increased from RM77.00 to RM88.00 per month? I am not sure!

The bill I received clearly stated that I have to pay RM165.00 and apart from the bill I also received a notification of late billing for internets service but did not mentioned about the increased. So I supposed the bill is for 2 months and wrongly charged.

Unwilling to pay for extra RM11.00, I called the streamyx call centre for clarification.

rrrringgg....rrringg.....rringgg...................

Call Centre (CC) : Good evening, I am xxxx, may I help you?

Mol : Good evening. I received a streamyx bill dated 28 Oct. and a notification about late billing, but the charges stated in the bill is wrong. It should be RM154.00 (RM77 + RM77) but the bill is RM165 (RM77.00 + RM88.00). Why is that so?

CC : Ok madam, what you received is a sample only.

Mol : Do you mean I can ignore the bill and don't have to pay according to the bill?

CC : No madam, you have to pay the bill in full ie RM165.00.

Mol : But you are charging me RM11.00 extra. Why is that so?

CC : Madam, can you read the letter we send to you about late billing.

Mol : Yes. But now what I am asking you is, why am I being charged extra RM11.00 in the bill? The letter didn't mention anything about the extra charges at all.

CC : Madam, that is just a sample only.

Mol : *?!?!! Sample????*

Do you mean I don't have to pay according to the bill? (Same question asked twice, what is happening to me? :(:( .

CC : No Madam, you have to pay RM165.00. You are now paying in advance for the service. You may go to any TM centre for enquiry about the late billing.

Mol : *??? advance payment!!!!* No problem I will be as frustrated as I am now if I were to go to the TM centre. Thank you for trying. I will pay accordingly and if there is any extra charges please refund to me later, is that alright?

Actually the staff could have just tell me that the charges for streamyx has increased from October 08 onward and to visit the TM centre for further clarification.

If my manglish (Mandarin + English) is also complicating you like the above, please don't hesitate to tell me. Dont laugh alone, just put up a comment and we can laugh together, hahahahahah!!!! no problem at all, ok!!!

Duck : Quak quak quak...........

Chicken : ??!!!!!??? .. kok...kok...kokoooo.........

Duck : ???!!!!????

A Tiring Day

2008-10-18T19:31:00.000-07:00

HO HO HO I am going shopping with a friend! She is renovating her kitchen and is looking for lots of kitchen things.
.

For me, I am looking for a stove and a pair of sunglasses.
.

We went for our brunch then to Signature Kitchen for her kitchen design, after that we headed to IKEA. Spent more than 2 hours walking around but found nothing that suits us. We ended up at the electrical shops where she bought the exhaust fan, water heater, lightings, door bell, washing machine, etc.......

We are still looking for Rinnai Stove and a Kitchen sink.

Anyone knows where to find the latest Rinnai Stove? We have been hopping from big and small electrical shops but couldnt find any shop that sells this brand.

OK, One more week, if I still couldnt find Rinnai anywhere, I will just close my eye and get one! Any brand will do, in order for me to carry on with my life without depending on outside foods, which is killing! I mean both the price and quality of the foods.

Went to Restaurant Shabu-Shabu for steamboat before we call it a day.

Is a nice place for steamboat. It is clean, pleasent environment, indivisual pot, air-conditioned. I really like it, very well ventilated.

After almost a whole day shopping, we still couldnt find all that we wanted.

Huh! Now, it is 'Money not enought' or 'Time not enough'?

I Have My Limit

2008-10-15T06:59:00.000-07:00

My stove is spoilt, my electric stove is also spoilt, and I have given away my microwave oven after learning that it is not safe to use it. Huh, I feel that life cannot go on any more if I dont quickly get a new one.

That is not all. I have lost my sunglasses, now only the casing is left with me!And, the worst thing is the neighbour starts hanging the dirty drags on the fencing again. Don't you all think that is irritating. I have not built a concrete wall after they stopped me from doing it, and I have tried to be a good neighbour by giving in to them so that they can dry their clothing and not the dirty drags, but what they have done in return again and again? They know I hate that and yet they purposely do that. Each time I see the drags I get really mad and now I feel like xxx at those people. Can any of you feels my anger?

Now I feel that being a single mother, I am being bullied by people not openly but in a coward way. Hei, dear neighbours, you are educated people, stop doing that on purpose, that will just make you looks otherwise.

Last time it was the left hand side neighbours showing their unfriendliness and now the right hand side neighbours showing theirs in a different way.

I want to kill, kill, kill.................................... the rats.. the skunk.. the cochroaches.... they are all nuisance. But.. what do they have to do with my neighbours ????? I am out of my mind..

I will definitely built up a concrete wall, AND don't think that is what I want, you ask for it, NEIGHBOURs!!!!!!!!!

Home Alone

2008-10-04T00:29:00.000-07:00

Home alone, how does that sound to you? I really enjoy being alone but I know if I continue to be alone, I will become koo koo soon. Anyway, it is only temporarily. My sons will be back; and after I have completed my project I will start joining friends out there again.

Meanwhile, I also have to clear all the stuff I have in the fridge while it's still fresh.
.

That will means whatever I eat and cook from now are stuffs from my fridge. I am not sure how many days I need to finish all those stuffs, but one thing for sure, i.e. no more marketing until everything is cleared. .
.
Lets see how much I have cleared today, or I should say dumped into my stomach :
.

For breakfast, I had a cup of juice with an apple, chocolate milk, multi-vitamin and protein power blended together; a piece of carrot cake I bought from Coffee Bean 2 days ago and a cup of tea.

For lunch I had sambal prawn with cucumber and rice. Mmmm.. delicious .. .
The ingredients are: 3 table spoonful hot spicy chilly sauce with ginger and garlic, one onion, one potato, one tomato, salt and sugar. I don't have 'belacan' and santan in my fridge, but it doesn't matter at all because I am trying to avoid these 2 items which are not doing any good for my health.
.

And for dinner, I cooked vegetable soup.

First I fried the chopped onion and garlic until it is brown, add in some chicken stocks, tomato and wolf berries and boil it for few minutes.

Add in the meat, 2 types of organic vegetables, 1 piece of toufu, an egg, 4 pieces of fried toufu, and prawns.
.

That's really filling. *burp* Excuse me!

First 3 meals 'KauTim'!

SOBSOBSOB

2008-09-21T04:55:00.000-07:00

Aiyoh, I am crying!

I am deeply touched by the post For All The Single Mothers In The World by Tekkuas.

For the first time after so many years, I cry again *sob**sob**sob*.

Somebody told me that I don’t cry anymore because I have cried enough and another told me it was because my tears have dried up. LOL they are very cute. May be they're right, my tear duct is blocked because I have not used it for too long.

Crying is actually a way to help a person to deal with emotional problems. This finding lends some basis to the expression, ‘To cry it out helps a person feel better.’ People actually do feel better, both physically and physiologically after crying - and they feel worse by suppressing their tears. You see that’s why I worked better last time when I cried a lot compare to now when I don’t cry at all. That shows that those who cannot cry have a lower ability to deal with stressful events.

As a single mother, I am feeling very lonely. *sob* *sob**sob* Not because I don’t have anyone around but because there’re too many people with negative faces around. So much so that I think they are more pitiful than me. Many times instead of going to them to lend a listening ear, ended up I helped them with their problems. Why do all my friends used the same strategies on me? Or they really have the problem?

I know why are they so worried. I could only tell them to - relax! Not all the single mothers need financial help and not all are going for man.

Something for the single mothers :

Go ahead and cry if you feel like crying.

Be brave to face the truth and your future.

There's always a rainbow after the rain.

Don't worry too much, because worry will take away your concentration.

Don't waste time with negative people.

Being alone is not as bad as you think it should be.

Don't look back, look ahead.

Children should always be your priority. Dont forget to spend some quality time with them.

Save for the rainy day.

Work hard for your future.

Have time for yourself.

Do one thing at a time.

Is there anything you would like to add on to this list to encourage the single mothers?

ZZZZZzzzz...... Not Me. It's My Computer Taking A Break

2008-09-18T16:37:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all who responded to my post 'Life Is Precious". Sometimes just an encouragement is worth a million words. TQ TQ TQ to Damien Tan, Foongpc, gullivanter, Nick Philip, Tammy, Monica, Tekkuas, Jacky Chung and prettychelereena for being a friend and your sweet words. Yeah!

HP has promised to rush me the recovery CD so that my computer can get up as fresh as new and start kicking and say hello to the world and you, you and you again.

Also a big THANK YOU to all those who have left footprints in my blog. You are in my link lists, will start visiting you a.s.a my computer is ok.

I cannot be sitting on my son's computer for too long, till then bye!

Life Is Precious

2008-09-16T19:49:00.000-07:00

I am a single mother.

The irresponsible man is not dead yet but is NOT even provide me with the basic things like foods, education, house etc.. for me and my children.

I was at one time at the cross road what to do with myself and my children. If I continued to work I was not able to take care of my children. To get some one to take care of my 2 children would cost me quite some money. Well, what to do? I could shout or spend time crying over spilled milk but that would not help me solved any problem at all. Anyway I was so worried I didn’t even have the time to cry. *In fact I was laughing…hahahaha the beast is gone.*

Later I decided to find a part time job with full time pay and at the same time I need energy to take care of my children. The first part time job after I resigned from my full time job was a telemarketer selling hotel/holiday packages. They gave me a basic pay and I could choose the working hours convenience to me, as I need time to cook for my children, take my children to and from school, guide them in their home work, do marketing, house cleaning etc……

I manage to survive with the earning but there’s no extra money for the raining day. I later changed a few other jobs but all paid about the same. At last I decided to be a Real Estate Agent. It was quite a tiring job but the working hours were more flexible and I could earn more. From this job I found out that it's tru that the best pay job is still the sales job.

That was when my interest in property began and with god's help I got my present house. Although I am still paying for it by installments, I got a house to call my own. When I have time now I still like to go on line and help some friends find some good property for them. With the help of present technology finding a house is much easier then before. Interested to find a home?

Can I Call It 'Lobak'?

2008-09-09T05:12:00.000-07:00

I admit I have some bad habit when comes to marketing. I have the urge to buy anything that is fresh. People can tell me that something that they're selling just arrived from farm, or it is very fresh or home grown or is organic, I will definitely get a packet of that... whatever it is.
.
When I checked my fridge today I found that I have one yam, a packet of water chestnuts, spring onion, celery, 2 packet of meat, eggs, fish, prawn, cabbage, tomato, apples, oranges and some other vegetable in there.
.
I've better stop going to market this week and find someone to finish all those thing when I turned it into dishes.
.
It's not impossible to finish all those things but to turn into delicious dishes is a bit of challenge for me. Mmmmm..... what to cook leh?
.
**** After seeing so many stars, I still cannot decide whether to make meat balls, or steam egg with minced meat, or meat with black soy sauce, curry fish or prawn ....... Suddenly I realized my children like to eat 'Lobak' but I always discourage them from taking that outside because of the dark, black recycled oil they used to fry the Lobak.
.
So I decided to make 'Lobak'.
.
Ingredients and methods :
.
1. Cut the meat into big chunks.

2. Cut Yam into two half. Half piece steam till it's cooked and soft and smash it. The other half keep for 'Bubur cha cha' later.
.
3. Cut and chop all the garlic and shallots in the picture.
.
4. Peel the water chestnuts and chop into small pieces.

5. Wash and dice celery and spring onion. You can cut as much as you like, this is home cook healthy food, no restriction.

6. Mix all the ingredients together with some salt, soy sauce, pepper, five-spice powder, 2 eggs, chinese wine and some cornflour :
7. Wrap it with bean curd sheet and deep fry :

Yeah! a job well done! It was yummy, yummy delicious, no joke!
.

My Sunday Morning

2008-09-06T17:52:00.000-07:00

Oh! No! No! No! I had a flat tyre. What should I do? It was so early in the morning, no mechanic worked this early and I have no contact number of any mechanic for emergency like this.

I found out I had a flat tyre only when I have finished my marketing. Could it have happened yesterday on the way back from The Mines Wonderland? However, I do not think so and hopefully not, it's so dangerous thinking of how fast I drove last night.
.

Now my problem is, I have to rush back to do some gardening before sun gets hot and to watch my Korean drama at 9.30 am. *knock my head* 'Stop thinking of the drama, deal with this real drama is more important now.' I told myself. Luckily I acted quickly enough to get my rushing mind settled down. Otherwise I might be acting an interesting drama myself and start kicking, scolding and make a scene at the market place like a monkey.
.

Although I know how to change a flat, but I don't have the physical strength to do it and may risk injury while attempting to change it. Often, lug nuts are bolted very tight to the wheel, and tyres themselves are quite heavy. What to do? Although there were many passer-by but I cant be troubling someone so early in the morning to change the tyre for me, although I am willing to pay. But if I continue to move the car, it could do more damage to the wheel and other parts of the car. Is it? I am not sure. I am still very innocent about car parts although I drive it everyday.
.

There wasn't any choice for me. The best thing I could do then was to move my car slowly to the petrol station and fill up the air temporarily and move back home to wait for the mechanic. The problem was when I tried to pump the air, the air cap was stuck. There was no one around except the skinny Banglashi pump attendant there staring at me.
.

I asked him to help me jacked up my car to open the cap, I didn't think he could change a tyre and he's too small size to do such heavy job even if he knows. See, I have made a wrong judgement again. The Bangleshi guy told me, 'RM10.00' and he would changed the tyre for me. You? I asked. Yes. He said.

'OKI, no problem.' I told him, ' make sure you know how to change it, and don't spoilt my car'. 'OKI' he said.
.

Got the tyre changed and I paid the attendant RM10.00.

Reached home just in time for the Korean Drama and my TV breakfast.

Had an orange, an apple, a piece of chocolate walnut cake and 1/2 cup of coffee as my TV breakfast.

I know, I know, some of you might want to say it's not healthy to eat and watch TV at the same time! What to do when my eyes, brain and stomach were all feeling hungry at the same time!

What's For Breakfast Today

2008-08-30T23:30:00.000-07:00

Today's breakfast - Tuna Sandwich with a cup of hot steamy coffee.

Mix the following ingredients :

1 can of Tuna Chunk in water

1 med size onion, chopped

1 tb spoon mayonese

1 tb spoon butter

Olive oil

Pepper

Salt

Spread it on the bread and top it with tomato and then another piece of bread. Cut the bread into 4 triangle shapes. Breakfast's ready!

Yummy! Yummy!

A Hainam Nang Speaks to A Hokkien Lang In English

2008-08-29T23:58:00.000-07:00

Malaysian Chinese are good at languages and dialects. Most of us speak English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and dialects like Hokkien, Cantonese, Hainanese, Teochew etc...... Even if we don't speak other dialects we could understand roughly what other trying to say.

I remember a joke told by my friend about an experience her Hainanese mother encountered. It happened many years ago.

One day her mother went to a shop in Port Dickson to buy a badminton racket for her. She told her mother she wanted the brand "Blue Bird", in English. The mother not knowing what is the meaning of 'Blue Bird' told the shopkeeper the same thing the daughter told her.

The Hokkien shopkeeper who unable to speak english and hainanese, asked her twice in Hokkien : "Lam Chiau Piau"? (Blue Bird brand?). He was trying to reconfirm with her what she actually wanted.

'Lam chiau' means 'blue bird' but it sounds close to the word penis in hokkien and I think may be in hainanese dialect also.

The mother was very angry with the shopkeeper and scolded him for being rude to her before she left the shop angrily. She was still angry when she reached home and told the daughter what had happened. The daughter told her the actual meaning of 'Blue Bird' and they were laughing away.

Indian Rojak

2008-08-29T03:16:00.000-07:00

This is Rojak. Indian Rojak. The famous Indian Rojak from Subang Jaya. As nice as the Rojak at my home town in Telok Kemang when I was young.

This is the only Indian Rojak that i really eat and eat and never get fed up of it. Don't tell me about other rojak. I've been conned (LOL not so serious la!) into trying at so many places but none can compare to this one.

The most important thing is the sauce. Really yummy.

The cucumber and the turnip are freshly shredded, very fresh.

All those fried things I don't know what to call it, very nice.

and the freshly fried toufu.

You can add hard boiled egg or cuttlefish, but I prefer it plain.

I usually eat there because next to it there is a Cendul stall. Cendul when buy back home wont be nice anymore, so have to eat there. But today I bought it back because the Cendul stall is not there. So buy back and eat at the comfort of my home.

When I first spotted this Rojak stall, there were a long line of people waiting and eating under the trees with birds and crows above. I was hesitating to eat there. But because it's very yummy, I sometime can drive there alone and join in the crowd.

Today I waited for more than 1/2 hours to get this plate of yummy Rojak for my tea time.

Oh one advice for those who wants to eat there. Make sure you don't look else where while eating. Stare at your plate until you finished all, otherwise the birds and crows may add some droppings in. HA HA HA HA HA

2008-08-27T19:58:00.000-07:00

1 fine evening before my 2 sons go to bed; we sat down for a chat.
.
We talked about how 3 of us going to face the big, big world in the near future as I am getting old and if they don't grow up quickly, I am not sure how they're going to survive without me. I can’t be with them 4 ever.
.
My elder son said:"Don't worry mummy, we'll be 5."
.
But then I told him, "We need to eat, place to stay, household utilities, education........., and how if one of us get 6, we need money to see a doctor."
.
My son: "Mummy, you have a total of 7 brothers and sisters; don't tell me none of them could help us?"
.
"Yes, may be they could, but we can’t depend on others, we must do our own growing. Have you heard of a saying: Don't help by giving a fish everyday but instead teach them how to fish?"
.
My younger son, too small to understand:" Mummy, if they think fish is too expensive to give, they can give us 8. I can eat that everyday with rice, bread or just plain."
.
"That’s good idea, darling, you're very smart. Good 9."
.
Went back to my room. 10 god for being so kind to me.
.
ZZZZzzzzzzz.

Spahgetti, Anyone?

2008-08-25T01:41:00.000-07:00

Had spaghetti for lunch today! No choice! No choice! The reason is I cooked too much. Sooo greedy!
.
Usually I cook spaghetti for my children or for my guests and i'll have something else.
.
I have the button mushroom cut into big pieces. That's why home cook is special. You can do what you like and don't do what you don't like.
.
I love cheese but didn't add in cheese because my tummy cannot tolerate cheese, strange!
.
Oh, delicious! Self praise is no praise. Too bad, no judges here and you cant judge from the look.
.
Ingredients?
.
1 bottle of Preggo Spaghetti Sauce
5 big tomatos
5 big onions
1 can button mushroom
RM5.00 mince meat
1/2 bowl chopped garlic
1 small bowl tomato sauce
Olive Oil
Salt & pepper
.
(No sugar, no cheese, no red/green pepper/bassil leave already in the sauce)
.
Each time I plan a party at home, I’ll cook spaghetti. Although each time no matter how much I cooked, my guests would finish all but I still feel that my spaghetti sauce needs some improvement.
.
Is there anything that I should or shouldn’t add in? Any tips please!
.
Any one willing to share the secret of your delicious spaghetti sauce?
.

My Weekend

2008-08-23T03:53:00.000-07:00

Went to pick up my girlfriend from KEN lll for a get together with other Single Mummy.

After the gathering we went for the HP sale.
.

Couldn't get the monitor I wanted. But I didn't come back empty handed. That's my tradition to at least buy something small whenever i go for sale. At most of the Sales there're some small and cheap items to lure my money. That's why i always go for sale without much cash in my purse, because below certain amount they don't accept credit card, then i can save up my money. If I found something really worth buying i would normally use credit card if they accept it without charging me extra.

This stretegy has helped me saved some unnecessary spending but also caused me some unnecessary time spent to look for an ATM machine when i found something worth buying which can only pay by cash.

I bought 2 mouse pads each came with a hand rest. That's what i have been looking for. Although that's not exactly what I wanted, but it's good enough.

Can you see that cute little red ladybird in the picture? That's a vacuum cleaner for the computer. It came with 2 batteries. Not sure whether it works, I'm lazy to try it out now.
.

Each item is only RM5.00. So i spent only RM15.00 that day. I don't know how long these things going to lie around in my house, after all there's always a rubbish bin to collect the rubbish i bought.

I May Be Small, But My Aim Is High. HA HA HA

2008-08-18T19:43:00.000-07:00

Guess what I’ve been doing lately?

That’s my business, right? Why bother, right? *sigh* *sigh* *sigh*

.
Anyway, no body could have guess that because I am such a small fly in this earth. That's not important; the important thing is I've chipped in to help the world. I was not doing anything really big but something in a small way to save this earth.

.
I went for the 'Save The Earth' workshop again and this time I’ve a better picture of how the 'GABBAGE ENZYME' (GE) could help save ME, my children, my country and the whole world.

.
I am not only making for my own use and to cool my house, I also have a mission to full fill. That's in December 2008; there will be a group of people including me coming together with the enzyme we made. We are going to gather in one of the river in Klang area and throw the GE into the river. (Read up how this way could save the fish and water life). That's just one of the places we are going, there are more to come in the future. Let's join hand to save our dearest planet!! Make the GE now!
.

I was busy going around telling friends how to make GE and asked them to go to the link to find out how to do GE and its usage. Some may thank me for it but some may think that I was wasting my time; I am too small to help save the earth. What a small thinking!

*sigh* *sigh* *sigh*

This is the 2nd bottle 'GE' I am making.
First and 2nd bottle :

This is going to be my 3rd GE 'manufacturing' container.
After that I will start my gardening in a big way!
.

Looking forward to see my blooming, beautiful garden? He He He!!!

Every Time Is The Last Time

2008-08-10T21:20:00.000-07:00

Surely some of you going to drop jaw when you see what I did to my body and tummy last Sunday. I've promised my body that's the last time I'm going to ill treat my tummy. But ...Promises are meant to be broken. Hehehe

.

My friend drop by so we decided to eat out the whole day :

.

9.00 am - Had 'Nasi Lemak' (santan rice) with fried chicken (Er..full of oil) and a cup of 'teh tarik'.

.

1.00 pm - Had 'Curry Laksa' and 'ice-kachang' at the lane behind Petaling Street. I didn't take photo because there were too many people around. Next time I will take one to tempt the Laksa lover. It's soooo yummy. Forgot all about cholesterol.

.

That's my favourite place for 'Laksa'. If ever I go to petaling street, is a must for me to eat that. My children and most friends wont want to accompany me there because that place is near to the wet market, so usually I would go alone. But this friend of mine didn't mind. I was happy to know that she enjoyed it, and promised to go with me again.

.

3.30 pm - Went for durian. The RM4.00 per kilo stall has sold out. Ended up at the other stall. Only the RM8.00 per kg was available, too expensive for me. Took two and shared with my friend. It cost us RM32.00. Only 5 pulps in each fruits but big pulp with tiny seed. Not only the price is higher, the quality is much, much higher than the RM4.00 ones. We didnt forget to bring back 2 husks for drinking water with it at home to avoid heatiness.

5.00 pm - Went for Hokkien fried noodle at Subang Jaya SS15 town centre. Not bad, a lot of lard in it. Hehehe!
.

6.30 pm - My friend has 30% discount voucher at Baskin Robbins. We decided not to waste that offer. I had one with cup and my friend had one with cone, yummy, yummy...

Had 4 stick of 'satay' or sate (chunks of meat in skewer grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire), for supper.

At night I felt the durian's heat coming up in my body. Hot, hot, hot! Have to stay in my room, switched on the air-con to coooool down!

Taking The King Home

2008-08-04T20:23:00.000-07:00

Any one tried KING OF THE FRUITS (Durians) with rice before? I have not tried and will never want to although I love durian To me it should be taken alone when it's fresh. According to my friend it's her favourite. Er..eh.. wanna try?
.
Last week I went to buy durian for the first time this year. I was not sure where to get the real good one, that's why I didnt buy. Ha ha, it sounded like so difficult to buy durian when there are stall popping up in every corner of the street, by the roadside, at the market, in the morning, at night....... That was because I have many experiences where I bought some durian and many come with it were either with worms or of lower grade. The taste are very different if you get some lousy one.
.
Mmmm...now I have found a place to get good durian at Subang Jaya, will definitely go back for more. This is the first time all the durian bought were eaten up and nothing left to keep in the fridge for days like before.
.
It's cheap, per kg was only RM4.00 and for 12 pcs of good grade durian only cost less then RM50.00. Most important thing is the smell, taste and texture are perfect, ooooh the rich aroma, succulent and firm flesh, a perfect mixed of bitter and sweet taste, mmmm....first class!

To people who don't like durian smell is stinking, but for me and many others who love it it's heavenly!

Do you know there are so many types of durian. To me is just the name, so long as it's nice, who cares what name is it. Anyway some of the name I can remember are : D24, 101, XO etc....... See, and there are more and more branded durian coming up these days.

Don't know what is DURIANs ?

Durians grow in trees.

Durians are fruit with spike like hedgehog.

Durians produced in Malaysia are the best

Durians should never be used to attack someone.

Durians are not poisonous.

Durians are best when fresh.

Durians only fall at night...so never walk under a durian tree at night and never try to catch a falling durian.

Durian trees are very tall...15m-40m. ·

Durians are banned in some countries.

Durians are not allowed into hotel room.

Durians are enjoyed by people who enjoy good food.

Durians smell heavenly·

Durians are the king of the fruits.

Durians are for eating, not for kicking at all!

Lastly, some secrets when buy Durians. Go for branded, there will be less chances to get the lousy one and open you eyes bigger so the durian seller thought you know how to choose a durian ..... follow my advice, you will return home smiling.

I Think I Have A Sixth Sense

2008-08-04T06:57:00.000-07:00

My lady boss whom I have worked for 20+ years passed away peacefully last week. She was 96 years old. She had a fall and was lying in bed for almost 5 years. I felt strangely tired and weak in the morning of that day. When her son called me to inform me that she was in critical condition, I told him I could only go the second morning because I was not feeling well and was feeling weak.
.
I went to her house the next morning. Felt a little sad, my tears rolled down uncontrollably when I saw her body lying there covered up. Why, why did I cry? I always think that it’s better not to linger around this world too long. It does give some pressure to someone closely related especially when the memory and consciousness are gone. Am I being selfish to think like that?
.
I didn't attend her funeral. That was because I went to attend my sister’s father-in-law’s funeral. He passed away on Thursday morning and the funeral was at 10.00 am Saturday morning also.
.
I would want to avoid going to any of the funeral because I felt uneasy in those places. I am scared of something I couldn't see. LOL. I believe that a lot of those unseen wanderers took the advantage of the situation to come by visiting. .... A r e.. y o u.. t h e r e?

I went to my sister’s house on Thursday night, when I came back at about 11.00 pm, my right hand side neighbor’s cute doggy was barking at me very fiercely as I entered the gate. He had never done that because he knows me very well. I was a little stunned I stood there and asked the doggy - "Why are you barking at me?" But he continued barking, very fiercely. I felt strange so I did the best thing I could do, chanting..... before I went in to my house. Don’t laugh, who knows what’s going on, only the god and the dog knew and they could only signal me. Well thank you god for alerting!
.
My father passed away in 1987. Continuously for few years he came into my dream. Sometimes I dream of him alive talking, sometimes I dream of his funeral, but the funeral in the dream was different from the actual one. Someone told me that's because he had a request but nobody could tell me how or what to do about it. That was when I started going into Buddhism seriously. I started learning chanting and prayer for my father.
.
After my eldest brother-in-law passed away, a big moth, looked old and worn out, like it's been flying a long distance, came into my office. Although I felt a little scared, I stared at the butterfly, guessing in my heart , "are you my brother-in-law, what do you want?" There's no answer. After that, continuously for a few years, I had dream of my brother-in-law still living like normal, but never about his funeral.

So, on one of the 15th day of the seventh month of Chinese calendar - the ghost's month, I asked my sister’s permission and gave my brother-in-law's name to a temple to do some prayer for him. My sister also did some necessary for him at a temple in Singapore. After that he stopped coming into my dream, I hope his request is full filled.
.
Am I normal? Or ....? Hei, dont think funny, ok!

Never Laugh At A Chinese

2008-07-29T04:46:00.000-07:00

From an email :

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.The Loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
.
Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000? The Chinese replies: 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return.'
.

Damn! The Customer Service Is So Poor, I Almost Vomit Blood

2008-07-28T21:26:00.000-07:00

Office boy has resigned and I have to go Water Works Department to change the water account from a tenant's name back to the owner's. The property is registered under a company. Thinking that's a simple task, just drop by and pay up the bill and pay the deposit and get the name changed.

1st time I went there to ask what I needed to get it change to the company's name. The customer service, very unwillingly, told me: just pay up the outstanding amount and the deposit of RM130.00 that's all I needed to do, she said. And I did confirm with her again, was that all she needed? Again she confirmed, yes!

2nd time, happily went into the department with 2 cheques to pay for the above mentioned. Now she told me to bring the Title Deed, and gave me a form to fill up. I was a little angry already: 'hey, this is the 2nd time I am here, you didn’t tell me earlier to bring the Title Deed?' She kept quiet.

I rushed back to get the Title Deed of the Shop house and after going thru another massive jam due to Anwar's case I reached the department 2 hours later. Upon receiving the Form and Title Deed from me, she now says she need the Form 9 and Form 49, company rubber stamp and a copy of ic of the director. She said the department will send someone to inspect the property, but she didn’t say I can come with all those documents after the inspection.

The fourth time I went there, thinking that's the last time I am going to see her @$*# face, she told me I should have sent those documents after the inspection because I can’t pay the deposit until after the inspection.

Damn it, as long as she's there, how many more people will suffer like me?

Few days later, I gave a call to the department and asked them whether they have done the inspection. Another office women' talk "cock" to me. She told me that they've done the inspection and found that the stop cork that they put when they disconnected the water supply was not there. She wanted me to send some one to put a stop cork before they can get the meter fixed up. Damn... I don’t see any department so stupid as that before. I have to pay a contractor RM180.00 to put a stop cork and then they send some one to remove it and have the meter fixed.

Can you imaging the department have spent so much to renovate the building to an up-to-date office for that bunch of people to enjoy, not working?

I was really mad and was shouting the last time I went to the department and trying to TEACH her the procedures needed to get the simple name changed. Then only the stupid brains said they have a list and handed me one. I raised my voice and asked why didn’t she gave that to me? The stupid answer was: 'You didn’t ask for it! " Damn! damn! damn!

Help Save The Earth!

2008-07-27T03:44:00.000-07:00

Went for a talk about Garbage Enzyme by Dr (H) Joean Oon.

Dr Joean began to study enzyme and other naturopathy therapy from Dr Rosukon of Thailand since few years back. She is now an active speaker on Earth Saving through Garbage Enzyme.

Recycle begins from every household by transforming kitchen waste to environmental friendly garbage enzyme. This is an economic way to protect our living environment and reducing insects. Garbage enzyme make the soil more fertilize, vegetables and fruits taste better and grow stronger and it works great as fertilizer for plants and it can dissolve chemical pollutant; ideal replacement for house keeping products.

After the talk, all of us were given a bottle of Garbage Enzyme to take home. It smells mmmm..... fruity and a little sour, like apple cider, nice smell! But not for drinking because it is made from garbage from the kitchen. I think I will try to make some with fruit and vege for drinking, may be I can use honey instead of brown sugar. Will keep you updated if I am successful!

Yes, Global Warming can be reduced by using Garbage Enzymes. So do your bit and help reduce global warming for a cooler and healthier living environment for all of us, for our future generation.

Visit http://www.o3enzyme.com/enzymeproduction.htm to learn how to make garbage enzyme and its usage.

Now that you've read about it and know that it can help save the earth, will you do your bit to help?

****************************************

There will be a public talk on Earth Saving through Garbage Enzyme at the Change Climate program to be held on Aug 9 in Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. The entrance fee is RM5 (redeemable for purchase at theme kiosks). To know more visit : http://www.justlifeshop.com/changeclimate.

I strongly urge you to attend, it will be well worth your time.

Hectic Life + Simple Foods

2008-07-17T02:10:00.000-07:00

Pass by Jalan Pudu today. Almost towards the end of that road, I saw a stall by the main road, packed with people. Most importantly there was a place for me to squeeze my car in. Who cares police Ah Pek will come and tow my car away, I was too hungry to worry about all that.

Ordered a bowl of Prawn Mee with 4 big prawns : RM7.00. It's Worth the price, very delicious, very tasty, except it's a little too salty for me. For a bowl of ordinary Prawn Mee will be RM3.80.

Recalling what I have eaten for today, although not a balance diet, but quite satisfying :

Morning : Fruit juice at home and famous Pork Noodle Soup at USJ 14.

Afternoon : Prawn Mee at Jalan Pudu.

Dinner : Home cook food.
.
Whenever I am busy and have to eat out, I am always running out of idea where and what to eat, especially when I am in a hurry. Usually I will rush to the stalls I normally go.

*************************
For my tea time today :

Two pieces of 'Nyonya Kuih' and a cup of coffee. (For my tummy)

Reader's digest. (For my brain)

Pigeon

2008-07-15T19:11:00.001-07:00

Those pigeon in the pictures were once staying behind my house. They built nest at the pillar just below the roof of one of the houses behind mine.

I used to peep at them through my son's window. They croo, they strut, they were actually very cute. They live peacefully with one another in community. The other sound used by the male to defence their territory and to attract mates is : coo roo-c'too-oo. I am not actually bird watching, but just that whenever I was cleaning my son's window, I cannot missed looking out at them.

They were many times, a pigeon couple trying to built a nest at my house, but I have to chase them away, because they are a bit noisy and they would mess up the place with their droppings, which is also poisonous.

.
Some people keep pigeon as pet and make little house called 'coops' for their pet pigeon. They allowed their pet pigeon to go free, because unlike other birds, pigeon will come back home. But not many people will do that, including me. Luckily I dumped the idea of building the coops for them, otherwise now I would have plenty of problem cleaning up their dropping and also complain from the neighbour.

Now that they are being chased out of my neighbour's house, they have found another alternative place to built their nest.

Just like before, everyday morning without fail, they are at the garden near my house waiting for food. They are there about 7 am to 9.30 am for breakfast and from 4 pm to about 7 pm for dinner..

.
I notice most of the time there were people feeding them. For me I usually bring left over rice or bread for them. Some people would buy a loaf of bread to feed them ......
.
Dont you think they look more like a bunch of jobless pigeon, because nowaday nobody still use pigeon as messenger, their service is no longer needed.

.
.

Here are some Nifty Bird and Science Words :
.

Rock Dove:the common name for the original pigeon

Columba livia: the scientific name for pigeon

My Neighbour Is A Barbarian

2008-07-12T07:30:00.000-07:00

The neighbour is driving me crazy.
.
It's not very proper for me to put up a complain here about them but I really have to get it rid of my head, so that I can get on with my life again.
.
Being a Single Mother is not what I choosed to be, it's god's will. I accepted willingly god's arrangement. But then the touble is some innocent people cannot see Single Mom like me doing better then them.
.
I may be single but I am not a weak person, I dont like quarrel, and I have my limit.
.
There is something I want to tell the unethical neighbour :
.
"STOP BULLYING ME RIGHT NOW!"

Maya Angelou

2008-07-09T06:21:00.000-07:00

Hi friends, I have received this many times since last year but do not want to break the elastic because I believe it is worth re-reading.

Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Born Marguerite Ann Johnson, April 4, 1928 in St. Louis, Missouri, she is an American poet, memoirist, actress and an important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. In 2001 she was named one of the 30 most powerful women in America by Ladies Home Journal. Maya Angelou is known for her series of six autobiographies, starting with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, (1969) which was nominated for a National Book Award and called her magnum opus.

Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was "exciting." Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words! Maya Angelou said this:

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas lights."

"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."

"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Tea Time

2008-07-05T02:25:00.002-07:00

A cup of coffee and two pieces of Swiss Roll. That's for my coffee break.

The Swiss Roll bought from Jalan Campbell was supposed to be nice, but this time it's too dry, my son was complaining. I think I'll have to take swiss roll for breakfast, tea time and supper and make sure it's finished by tomorrow.

Come, lets have coffee together, you at your place, and me at mine.

Sharing The World Peacefully

2008-07-04T20:00:00.000-07:00

My job requires me to travel to 'Chow Kit' area at least twice a month. I have been doing it since many years ago. That area were once flooded with 'transvetite' or 'homosexual' or we call them 'Ah Kua', 'gay', 'pondan' etc... They are people with sexual behavior or attraction of the same sex. They voluntarily wore clothes of a women and usually they go for surgery to make themselves look feminine.

To me, they are a women trapped in a man's body. And after the surgery? I feel that they are a man trapped in a women's body. Oh gosh, I am just complicating myself.

.
The above are two pictures taken with permission. I didn't ask for their names. I had a chat with them while waiting to get my job done. There was another friend, which is much fairer, who waved at me when I drove thru that area, but when I returned intended to take a picture, shemale was gone, I think she must have caught a 'big fish' and were busy 'frying'. I waited a while, no sign of her.
.
I remember a friend, Rahim, his nick name was Mastura. I am not sure where is he now. Used to have a chat with him while I waited to get my job done. At first glance, you would think he is a women. At first I didnt know he was a transvestite because he had 5 adopted children, all were very skinny and called him 'MaMa'. I did get a shock when I found out later that she was actually a man. He would talk to me like : "We, as a women ........" Later when I found out he was actually a man, I was thinking, Hah, we? I am really not the same kind! I can give birth, he can't! But of course I just smile and talk to him as usual and treated him as normal.
.
There was another friend, Othman, he was really big size and very fair. This shemale was another sweet talker.
.
Both Rahim and Othman were the 'Ibu Ayam' last time to other transvestites, they get customers for other transvestites for a fee. Off course, good customer they kept for themselves. That was what they told me!
.
Rahim told me about his story. When he was young, he felt different from other sisters. He found out when he was form 3. Later he ventured to Kuala Lumpur and started to dress up as women. When his father found out while visiting him in Kuala Lumpur, he was furious. But Rahim said there was nothing he could do, because that is the natural feeling from inside, he felt more a women and were only interested in man. It is not what he wanted. He was once very helpless and cried about it, but later, he accepted the truth. He said that it's the god's will.
.

Are you curious about them? Things like when they use public toilet, which one they would enter? ......... I am curious too!
.
I just hope that all of them are happy and have a bright future.

All In A Day's Work

2008-07-02T20:09:00.000-07:00

Guest what I did today that makes me so happy?

I got my rebate!!!!! I am richer by RM1,250.00. I have a double claim, because I have 2 cars under my name and they really gave the money to me!
.

I Went to Giant Hypermarket Post Office at 8.30 am to make the claim, but the queue there was long and the sun was hot, I thought it was better for me to avoid getting sunburn.

.
So I packed and drove to Carrefor. Regretted, because the jam from Giant Hypermarket to Carrefor was 1/2 hour instead of the usual 10 minutes drive + petrol?
.
At 9.00 am I was at Carrefor Hypermarket. All shops were not opened yet. I went to the post office and queue up. Is was cooling, so is worth the petrol. The post office open at 9.30 am.
.
While waiting, I overheard a young man talking on the phone : "Darling, I am at Carrefor waiting to claim the petrol rebate, the queue is so long, any way it's such a small amount, I'll make the claim some other days ok?" He stopped a little while and said : "But darling, you see, I have been to other post office, it's all the same long queue." I turned and smiled to the young man. Most people when they are young they call the wife darling, honey, sweet heart.... Slowly, they would change the tone and start name-calling with Wei, Hei added in ....... that is the time the wife should pack and go, I think. Haha just joking. May be the wife like it that way.
.
I renewed one of the Road Tax, which will expires on 8.7.08.

I asked the clerk - " Can I get the rebate after the renewal?" He said, after looking at my registration card and did some calculation, "No, cannot, come back next year January 09." "But then it's stated in the news that renewal after July 08 can start to claim on 1.7.08 right? Can you please check again, thank you." I handed him the other registration card and said, "I would appreciate if you could let me claim it together." And jokingly I said, "Petrol very expensive Oh, now!" And gave him a smile. I didnt know I could bargain for it, I was surprised.

Within 20 minutes I got my road tax renewed and money in my hand. Yeah!

On the way home, I stopped somewhere for breakfast. I saw this shop "Uncle Seng Home Made Noodle". There were so many people waiting, it must be nice. I went in alone, feeling a little like an alien.
.

.
I found that the food there...Mmmmm.... soup was ok, no 'ajinomoto', I think they've added in some cornflour to make the noodle smoother, that all, but the coffee was nice.
.
That's me, on my way to my car, parked so far away.

Good Things Are For Sharing

Wonder what fruit is that? I am not sure what is that either..

I was having gastric pain a year ago and my mom gave me 1/3 piece of that stick and asked me to chop it into pieces with skin and boil it with water. Either with or without meat for 1 hour and drink it. I asked her whether she had tried it or anyone she knew had tried it, she said, NO. It was given to to her by my uncle. According to him that can cure/help stop gastric pain. My uncle had passed away, so I am not able to check out with him.
.

I took it back and was wondering whether to try it. I am not the kiasu type but kiasi.
.

After another day of torture by the gastric pain, I decided to be a guinea pig and gave it a try. I realy have no other choices.

After the drink I forgot all about my gastric pain, it was gone totally! How amazing, I was thinking.

Recently, at the garden near a friend's house, I saw something familiar. Something looks exactly like the one I have taken. I took one green one back and waited until it turned dark and compared it with the one my mom have, inside, outside, top, bottom, they looked exactly the same. I was quite sure that I found it, but where to find someone to try leh?

.
.

Above is the picture of the tree. (Click to enlarge).

Recently I found another 'guinea pig', that is my friend's maid and now she is another testimony.

My friend's maid who came to work for me part time was having very bad gastric pain. She looked so pale and sick. By the look of her I thought my friend have starved her. She told me she couldn't eat well and have been suffering bad gastric pain for a long time.

I gave her a stick taken from the garden and asked her if she dare try it. She said at her house in Indonesia have many of these trees around but no one knew anything of it.

Two days later when she came back to my place, she looked radiant, really. She said she tried and now gastric pain is gone too!

Look at the picture, and how happy she looks.

If any of you have any information about what is that, the name, the medicinal value of the fruit, how to consume it, may be you would like to share it.

Mom, You Make Us Feel Special

2008-06-28T05:53:00.000-07:00

It's Sunday. My off day. A day to relax. But i'm not willing to let the day go by just sitting at home.

I took my mom for a brunch. We went to the famous meat ball porridge with raw fish at Petaling Street. It used to be very nice. But when i tried it today, the taste wasn't the same. Although the portion of the raw fish they served were larger but it may be because the porridge they served wasn't hot enough (used to be steamy hot) and too soggy, it didn't turn out as tasty as before, so we decided to not go back ever again. It used to be RM8.00 per person for a bowl of meatball porridge with a plate of raw fish, now it's RM10.00. So, RM20.00 for 2 person to eat at a roadside stall, without drinks. It's only worth it if it's delicious ....

After breakfast, we proceeded to Low Yat Plaza behind Sg. Wang. It is a good place to look for cheap computers parts, cameras, handphones, etc... The place we went when we arrived was to 'Old Town Kopitiam' for a cup of hot steamy coffee. Mom ordered NanYang Memorable Hot coffee (RM3.20) and I ordered 'cham" coffee mix tea (RM2.80) and each a plate of garlic bread (RM3.20 each). We enjoyed our sip before we started conquering the shops one by one...

I have 5 brothers and 4 sisters, but all of them are having their own family and some are in Singapore. For some of them, Sunday mornings are strictly for church, afternoon is lunch time with family and evening is time to rest. Cant blame everyone because they onlyhave one day that really belonged to themselves, other days are 'sold' to the company. Hehe, no offence ya bro and sis, that is my interpretation of a busy person.

One of the brothers and me stay near my mom, so 2 of us including my eldest brother visit my mom more often, they are there every Sunday night.

Those staying in Singapore can only visit mom once in a while. And when they're back, my mom will be happy to prepare the most delicious food for all of us. That is almost a must for her, as long as she knows that any of my brother or sister coming back. She will cook the first meal for all even if we told her not to, she will still insist on that. We must eat at her house before proceeding anywhere else. The problem usually was, after the meal, we feel lazy and sleepy and will most likely rest at home. Especially my brother-in-law, he will not go anywhere else till the next day.

There was once, we kept a secret about my sister coming home, but somehow my mom found out about that. Then as expected, she prepared a BIG meal for all of us. We were laughing and pointing fingers at each other for leaking out the secret.

Never Under Estimate The Power Of Accountant

2008-06-28T04:48:00.000-07:00

Would like to share the following jokes received via email :

"""
Joke 1:

Eleven people were dangling below a helicopter on a rope. There were 10 sales people and 1 accountant.

Since the rope was not strong enough to hold them all, they decided that one of them had to let go and save all the others.
.
They could not decide who should be the volunteer. Finally the accountant said he would let go of the rope since accountants are used to do everything for the company. They forsake their family, don't claim all of their expenses and do a lot of overtime without getting anything in return. When finished his moving speech all the sales people began to clap.
.

Joke 2 :
.

A group of accountants and a group of sales people take a train to a conference. All sales person holds a ticket. But the entire group of accountants has bought only 1 single ticket. The sales people are just shaking their heads and are secretly pleased that the arrogant and mean accountant will finally get what they deserved.
.
Suddenly one of the accountant calls out : "The conductor is coming!" At once, all the accountant jump up and squeezed into one of the toilet. The conductor check the ticket of the sales people. When he notice that the toilet is occupied, he knocks and say : "Ticket, please!" One of the accountants slide the ticket under the door and the conductor continues on his round.
.
For the return trip the sales people decided to use the same trick. They buy only 1 ticket for the entire group, but they are baffled as they realised that the accountants didn't buy any ticket all. After a while one of the accountant announce again : "The conductor is coming!". Immediately all the sales people race to the toilet and lock themselves in.
.
All the accountant leisurely walk to the other toilet. Before the last accountant enters the toilet he knocks on the toilet occupied by the sales people and said : "Ticket please!"
.
*****Sales people like to use the method of the accountants, but they dont really understand them *******
