A Month Going Without WHAT?!

I am all for, you know, the whole Zen living thing, being simple, yoga, exercise, eat right etc but the notion of having to go a month without television, radio, music...and *cough *cough *up *blood my devices and phone would be an atrocious idea. Oh, I am in such a polite mood, am I not? =)

But this man kind of made it through the ORDEAL experience of getting by the whole month without television, radio or I suppose any other distracting entertainment and I have to give KUDOS where KUDOS is due. OK, so it was selective elimination, he wrote but still. That is an incredibly hard feat to beat in the modern world that we live in today.

I thrive, no, my work....no, wait, my LIFE thrives on the fact that nearly everything is borderless with the internet. Perhaps, I would have to admit that THAT is the reason why we suffer today - the inability to actually carry a proper conversation with your friends without bringing up his or her latest Facebook status update. The inability to sit through dinner without wondering which celeb tweeted what. The astounding silence that rings in a room when there is NO WIFI!!!! NO WI-WHAT?


I can't imagine that. NO.

And no WaLaiToi? No KBSWorld? No EOnline?


Now sugar, I can probably live without. I don't know, when I was younger, I had run-ins with an eating disorder because I felt like I was the fattest animal to roam the planet all the time even when I was wafer thin. I didn't know the name then but I know it to be anorexia now.

Don't worry, I am still alive and well....kinda....most of the time so, I am more aware of what it can do to people. Therefore, you can safely conclude that I lay off sugar like I lay off cockroaches. So, I can probably do the NO SUGAR challenge....except that, what do I put in my Nescafe now?

Let me negotiate with my inner being for a while to see if planting one small dash of sugar into my morning drink warrants sending me to the gallows for the sinners of everything healthy.

And in the meantime, rock on, folks. Rock on. And maybe sleep well too.

XOXO,
Marsha

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...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
