Food, Food, Food - It's All About The Food

It's really quite amazing the amount of money you will save when you make your own food at home. There was one time we (when I say we, it means the 3 of us) ate Vietnamese food for like more than RM100+, one time eating pricey burger and fries for RM80+ and then worse yet, I (as in me, alone, just me, one person eating with friends) had Korean for RM80+, ONE PERSON. It was hellaloadoffood but still.

Yeah, we can opt for cheaper options, obviously, like our favorite mixed rice or our kopitiam and thank goodness for them too. It is the school holidays right now so, how many kopitiams can we visit before we get bored of them? How many stalls do they have before we have tried them all, right?

Eating out IS always going to be expensive and that is why I feel like people should try to cook their own meals more often.

I made days' worth of porridge yesterday and it is right now in the fridge. I have salted eggs, and some fermented vegetables, fish, canned food and some stuff that I can eat together with the porridge. What can I say? I am a porridge kinda gal. I've always loved porridge, some people might think it odd since porridge is often associated with 'sick people food'. LOL.

Anyway, I cheated a little yesterday, with bacon and sausages. The kids loved it and I made it with buttered corn and carrots and fried eggs. They said it was a good combo and I guess that's all that matters, right?


Love,
Marsha

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

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
