Lazy Saturday

If you've been following my twitter, you would know what a horribly busy and stressful week it's been for me. To top it all off, quite possibly, I've developed slipped disc as well. Yipee. Well, I don't know for sure yet but the numbness is a constant reminder for me to get a date with a Chiropractor. That or the hospital.

With wild pictures of a scalpel in my face, I think I will see the Chiropractor first.

Anyway, I decided that I will think of nothing, do nothing, work at nothing and just be an incredibly lazy sloth on Saturday. The workaholic in me will be restrained, tied up in a lonely dark cell until my sanity says it can come back out.

Seriously, work really got to me. Not that I am complaining about having work. I keep reminding myself about all those people out there who are not as fortunate as I am to have people pump work into my work station. People who trust me. Man, in this competitive world of business, I am thankful for that although I do not have enough money for a trip to New York or buy myself a mansion but there's food on the table.

The only thing we did on Saturday was watch TV, read a book (my mission to finish Lipstick Jungle continues. Who knew how such an interesting series can be so boring to read about. I mean, there's just too much corporate stuff and too few kinky things).

And then out of the blue, an idea popped into my head and we hopped into the car for a nice tub of ice-cream....and ended up having frozen yogurt, which is FAB! Less fat is more joy, I always say.

To economize, we shared a regular-sized tub (elder son not being too enthusiastic about trying new stuff)


This is not a paid blog post but I thought since they gave me a free fridge magnet, I'll give them a little bit of free exposure, not as if they need it.


Oh, what joy it was. Splendid fresh, delicious, icy-cold, light and smooth frozen yogurt. Bliss on a Saturday. :)

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???) ...
