Which Of Your Senses Changes Your Mood Fastest?

Each of our five senses have a role to play in changing our moods. For instance, when I wake up early in the morning, I hate to hear the traffic outside....I live near a school and many insane (and possibly sleepy) parents like to blare their horn freely. That affects my mood so I shut all windows and doors when I wake up in the morning. I hate to, also, see people treating other people badly. I hate to see kids stranded. I hate to see dogs being run over. That affects me. On the other hand, I love to see greens and flowers. (Typical, I know!) And music affects me just as much. It's a well-known fact that music and sound, for that matter, can change your mood from 'Hallelujah' to 'WTF?' in a matter of a nanosecond. But what affects my mood the most is....smell and touch. That explains why I am obssessed with aromatherapy (July is my birthday, for your info! Hee hee hee....), perfume and softtener (yes, yes...the laundry one). I don't wash my clothes WITHOUT softener because it's like a crime to me! It's like walking out the door with only your undies on. How can one not fumigate their clothes every chance they get? I don't understand.... I can be in the best-est of moods but give me a smelly man (OK, OK, OK...or woman) walking past me in a hurry....and the world stops spinning. I get a sick feeling in my tummy and I can't even muster the smallest of smiles. That also explains why I fell in love with my past men based on the cologne they wear. No cologne, no siree.... :-) Yes, I am kidding but only to a certain extent. Well, as for touch, no need to say lah. I am actually quite a 'touchy' person (inside and outside) and love to be enveloped in a bone-crushing hug (only from selected people, ok? Not everyone, please, lest you feel the urge to lunge at me every time you see me) and I also love massages (free one, please feel free to offer....but above rule applies, I reserve the right to reject applicants. Ahem!). Which reminds me of times when I was offered massages from male objects in the past. Some in school with the teacher standing in the front, some from mere strangers and then some who think that they are close enough to me to offer. I don't know....(shiver). That is why when I am stressed out, I do the following:-
  • Burner with my aromatherapy
  • Soft piano or sax music in the background
  • My massage oils
  • My massage rollers
  • Lotions, lotions upon lotions

Sigh.....now, THAT's how you change your mood from Tiu.N.S (cantonese) to Mow-tak-teng.

for me its sight and sound...I can stand to see people treating other badly nor can I stand the hearing people berating others...I believe in P.I.P. ( punish in Private and Praise in Public )...the other thing that I cannot bear is stoooopidity e.g. my 3rd sohai boss..KNN!!

The other time when I REALLY FULLY MAXIMUM KAUKAU UTILIZE my five ( or six ) senses is during sex...kekekekeke

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...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
