Back from holiday, refreshed

Took the kids out to Penang for a short-short holiday and for the kids, it was a great to be doing something different. And it's good to hear something different apart from, 'Two more minutes to homework time' and 'Have you practiced your piano?'

The beach - they were soooooo in love with the beach. The moment they open their eyes, it's 'Can we go to the beach?'. It's a pity that we only have such a short time to enjoy the beach. Really. Here are some pictures that I took. No pictures of me because I forgot to bring my makeup bag so....too bad. :-)

There. Son 2 is totally enjoying himself! But I can't help it but think that he needs a haircut when I look at this picture. The other son belongs (funny to say this) to my cousin, the boy's name is Ivan. Adorable guy.

Sigh sigh sigh....what's not to love about a scene like THIS!!! Awesome, love it!

Uncle Julius shows Son 1 how to make a REAL SOLID mud ball. The boys were making squishy ones.

Very nice pool with small little waterfall for the kids.

We did not swim in the sea because there are jellyfishes out there. Sadly, one boy (not one of us) got stung (big patch on the stomach) by a jellyfish. My cousin said, 'Poor boy, I got stung before and a big man like me, sigh....it reduced me to tears and still a little traumatized from the sting. Damn painful'.

We had BBQ at the beach and it was quite fun. There was drinking and eating on the beach and you can't beat that, really! :-)

I've put the whole album up on my Facebook, so, if you are interested, head on over here for my Penang Gathering photo album.

Anyway, I have decided to focus on writing for myself because I am the most important thing in the world to me. Finally, FINALLY, wrote an article for myself. Today, I chose to write an article about 'Frustrated with not finding the perfect life'.

Anyway, on with work, ADIOS! Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone!

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...

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...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
