Heading Off To Singapore

Well, heading off to Singapore, the Land of the Lions tomorrow morning for some work and am sincerely hoping that I will find it a not-so-tiring and an enjoyable experience. I am glad that I am getting this opportunity to do something a little different, against the grain you might say, but it's for the good of my career as a whole because frankly speaking, I was beginning to find the daily grind a little hard to bear. 
However, even with that said, this is something new to me and I find traveling (not with the family but) with a stranger can be quite....disconcerting. But ah well....I like rolling with the punches and roll I will. I am quite good, if things turn out bad, in pretending to be a statue, to be blind, mute, deaf....or dead...or all of the above. But I am sure things will be fine. I'm just getting a kick out of scaring myself half to death! Hehehehehehe.....
The things I will miss the most here for the next few days are:-
  1. My kids!!!!!!
  2. My computer
  3. My piano
  4. My home
  5. The luxury of not having to move my ass to get to work
  6. My DVDs.....don't really wanna carry all of them off with me across sea, actually
  7. My kids....oh, I mentioned them
  8. My kids, my kids, my kids, my kids, my kids!!!!
Talk about seperation anxiety on the reverse, this has got to be the worst case. Son 1 wished me 'good luck' rather cheerfully while Son 2 was left brooding for a while and then jokingly said, 'Yay! No more boss!!!'
HAH!!! Don't let me hear them calling me on my mobile, then. :-))))
Love them lots and will miss them lots. 
Oh, alright already, Marsha. Get off it and get some blinks....
Nite all.

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...
