Listen, it's good that I have a maid now, right? But you know how it is when a person's got his or her own kitchen...it's MY KITCHEN!!! Blardie shit, it's MY KITCHEN!!!!
hee hee hee...
Anyway, this maid of mine (below twenty years old) very enthusiastic about opening a restaurant or something when she goes home, so, she always asking me to let her cook. But the problem is that it's MY FOOD and I want to eat what I LIKE TO EAT, so, she have to cook it MY WAY, right or not? But no wor, she wants to cook it her way wor.
The problem is....I also like to cook the things that I want to eat....but she keep fighting with me to test-drive her cooking skills.
Every time, very very early, she will ask me whether she can cook or not? I am like....what the FFFF! It's 9.45am morning and you want to cook what??? Use who's chicken? Who's beef? Who's sayur? Who's soya sause? Who's....
OK OK OK....I am getting way overboard here because I am a little miffed because I've been asked 'Can I cook this?' for the whole month liao. When I marinate something, I mean, I have something in mind lah, right? And I know what my kids like, (and I LIKE) so I have something in mind liao mah (already). So, this fler (fella), always come and ask me whether she can come and cook it like this, cook it like that....sigh....
If I want her to help me cook, then I will ask lah. If not, then I will just ask her to potong the sayur (cut the veg) and wash the Fooking wok lah, rite or not???
It's MY FOOKING KITCHEN, MY FOOKING FOOD AND MY FOOKING KIDS! I get to decide what to cook with the food that I buy.....
GGGGgggggrgrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
I have a maid who is fighting for the wok with me....shikes! Ok, maybe you're saying 'Maybe she only wants to help out leh?' True. I asked her 'You really wanna help out with the cooking, isn't it?' (albeit a little bit sarcastically, but the sarcasm flew over her head like a cuckoo bird). And you know what she said? "I want to take the opportunity to learn how to cook here". WOY!!! This is playground for you ah?? This is not a cooking school....this is my house, my family you're talking about! Don't test-test here! You wanna test, use your own money, stay at home and test all you want! We will try to accomodate your eating habits, your favorite dishes and all that but ultimately, it's still my home, right or not?
I strongly believe that I also have to learn how to accommodate another person in the house. This is a time to learn....and I blardie hell have to learn fast, man!!
p.s. In all other areas, she's fine.
Maybe I am overprotective of my kitchen lah. And also maybe I can border on severely maniacal about the food that my kids eat....OR MAYBE I JUST FOOKING PMS-lah!
But don't worry lah, folks. I won't quarrel with her or murder her or throw her off the fourth floor. I am quite good at swallowing air (tolerance level rather high). I am sure this will come in handy at swallowing fire (anger) as well. I am just gonna swallow it...just like that...kkkkooootttttt....down the throat to maintain mental health and peace in the home.
But still sipet tulan (super pissed off), you know keep hearing it two three times a day....

Original source or not, I don't guarantee, but it's where I found it.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...
