This is Malaysia, not your own country….

I live in a place where many foreigners like to populate. This is turning into another Desa Sri Hartamas. Must be something the govt worked out or perhaps it’s the offers by the developers or management companies. Give me two minutes to figure out how to write this without me sounding like a nun…. OK. Like this. This is Malaysia and we have comparatively stringent and restrictive laws about showing too much skin, or being overly sexually expressive with the opposite sex. Generally speaking, excessive touching and oral exchange of bodily fluid is acceptable, most of the time, behind closed doors…which also includes under the influence of alcohol provided you’re not behind the wheel. That one, another funky story. In pubs, in alleyways and in stairwells, you have all these desperate pubescent kissing up a storm and going on a touching rampage while adrenaline and hormones scorch their nerve endings. Some do the deed, some don’t. In short, if you’re not drinking in a night spot or hidden behind closed doors, kissy-touchy stuff is no-no. And don’t you think people would have the decency to act a little bit more respectable when there are kids around? No? My kids are not yet in their teens but trust me, I have been inundated with their questions relating to the opposite sex and one particular disturbing question that goes something like this. How did you actually make me? (Came from younger son) So, technically, answers like ‘you burst out from a rock’, the ‘stock dropped you’ or ‘you just appeared out of nowhere’ is not going to work now. They curious....really, REALLY curious and I would like to keep them away from this topic until at least the time they're ready to get married or when they discover the whole process for themselves. I’ve explained the birds and bees! I have! But maybe they just want me to BLOODDY REPEAT IT AGAIN for the sake of seeing me turn red in the face and squirm. And it doesn’t help when these foreigners living in my condo are so….liberal with their dressing and behavior. One lady was wearing a camisole about 20 sizes too small for her that it literally looked like a bra on her…like she’s walking around in a bra and her jeans! And her boobs were spilling out…the faint sign of her areola peeking out from the top of her camisole. (I can see you guys rubbing your hands together. DOWN, boy, DOWN!!!) I can’t imagine her finding a bra her size here in Malaysia….totally. And then in the swimming pool….sigh…..what can I say? If we were not there, I don’t think these few people would have stopped at just sneaking their hands into each others’ swimwear! I tried to shoot daggers at them with my eyes but missed miserably. The couples had eyes only for each others’ (privates). Dragging the kids to the other end of the pool didn’t help because my cheeky kids would try to sneak their way back to the other end of the pool when I try to do a lap. So, I stopped doing laps, sat there and watched over my kids while they watched the grope-fest. I mean, if there are kids in the pool, don’t you think these people should at least bring their grope-festival upstairs or at least hide behind one of those huge pine trees or something?

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

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...

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...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...
