Bloging Therapy

I didn’t blog last night because I was too busy…..this time not because of work but because I was busy watching leng-chai (hunk) acting in a Korean drama! :-) Hee hee hee….which drama series this time? 8TV is showing this show Korean series called ‘Witch Yoo Hee’ at 8.30pm and my friend who told me to watch it over the phone. More like she was gushing at how handsome one of the lead actors was and how she wanted to ‘order’ someone like that and asked me if I could help her ‘order’ one and have it ‘delivered’ to her address! Ha ha ha ha!

Anyway, I love watching series, be it Hongkie, Jap or Korean, there’s something about the continuity of a series that makes it so….chase-able. I realize that with my current schedule, I have placed my love for watching series and movies in the backseat. It’s working, emailing, blogging, cooking, ironing, writing, cleaning, washing, doing helping kids to do their homework. The value of my time has become so high that I count every second I spend on the throne (the jamban lah for those who don’t understand). And time is so precious nowadays that the quality of life has dropped too. (What nonsense talk since I just came back from holiday in Hong Kong, right?)

Therefore, from now on, I resolve to watch television more, pig out more, and play the piano more. And blog more too….in the middle of the day too as a reward to myself for working so hard (more like taking a break-lah). It’s funny, you know but blogging is very therapeutic to me too and comes very close to pigging out in front of the tele. I must actually write something, regardless of how ridiculous, nonsensical and bullshitty it is, I must write something.

Therefore, blogging is for me, not for you (sorry-lah) but it is therapy for me. (And all this while you thought I blogged for you, isn’t it?) :-) But I don’t think you all mind lah. But the downside to blogging is that everyone people who read it know everything about you and what goes on in your life. You meet them and there’s a problem of finding a topic to talk about. For instance…..I meet up with you for coffee and this is how the conversation would go….

Me: “Hi”

You: “Hello. Long time no see”

Me: “Ya lah, I thought you mati”

Laugh together-gether.

You: “So, how’s it been?”

Me: “Well, my grandmother passed away liao lor and….”

You: “Oh ya, I know. I read in your blog”

Me: “Oh! Cool. And then I just came back from Hong Kong and Macau and it was….”

You: “Oh ya! I read about that too.

See? But it’s still therapeutic to me and I shall continue to blog about everything I want to. So, next time if you see me, pretend you’ve never read my blog and don’t know the inside outside of my life, ok?

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
