What's Not To Love About This?

Phew, Hugh. You are one f-ckin' awesome dude! Bet you know that Kiefer Sutherland beats the shit out of the paps every time they try to take his picture or chase his coattails. He gets drunk and beats the hell out of anyone seen armed with a camera, pencil, pen, PDA, or he pokes them in the eye or sucker punches people and say, 'He asked for it!' Ryan Reynolds, apparently, likes the paps a lot too. Know what I think? They don't know their work! This is what life as a celebrity is like as rightfully pointed out by some gossip writers. I mean, I totally agree that if you want to have a successful life as a celeb, as annoying as the paps are, you can make it work positively or you can start kicking arses. The easier it is to ruffle your feathers, the better the experience is for them. They love to annoy the sheets out of you and are waiting for you to just....kill them. Or attempt to kill them. Then they have a good fuggin' story. So, Hugh Jackman is, by far, one of the few celebs who know how to work the game. You don't see him rolling up his jacket sleeves waiting to switch the lights off in another's head. See? This is how you work it, guys. You shake hands with people.

You tell them you come in peace.

You smile and laugh even when you feel like killing them.

And you take the kids out and teach the kids how to ignore the paps. Smile and don't let them get to you.

What's there not to love about a man like that? Completely in control. SWWOOOOOOON!!! He shakes hands, he smiles, he takes the kids out and he gives out my favorite sign...(well, second favorite sign, that is. The first one isn't very polite) to cameras even when he feels murderous. Awesome. Mom, I think I'm in love.

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...

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???) ...
