Thing 1 I have learned from 2012

So the world came face to face with 21st December 2012 with...well....some with dread, some with indifference, some with optimism and others, like me, with skepticism. I mean, if the world is going to end, it's gonna end. There is nothing we can do about it, right?

But anyway, Thing number one thing I learned in 2012 is this - the things we question.

I have this really GH$%^@&*( backache because of too much sitting down and (writing stuff like this) it takes a toll on my spine. So, at night when everything has come down to a halt, I point to the sky and ask 'Why the **** does my back hurt so bad and nothing is doing?!?!?!'

What I have learned to ask is this.

'Why do I have a nice house, a car that moves, kids that are beautiful and healthy, the ability to work and make money, friends and family and a laptop that I can write on in the middle of the night from my bed, why does my back hurt again?'

Life is fair. You can't have everything.

Good night,
Have loads of fun this new year, I hope to write and take loads of pics of that, man.
XOXO,
Marsha

Marsha, I found thai massage to be a great help with my neck/shoulder/back pains.

Ask to book Ah Oi, she's skilled.
I'm not sure exactly sure which dialect she speaks but it sounds like hokkien, else simple english or mandarin to communicate.

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...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

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???) ...
