New Place to Stay Today

Good Lord, that was hectic...well, all moving-in-moving-out's are hectic. The last time we did this, we ended up with COVID - lol - the first few weeks. It was a horror because none of us were healthy enough to even get food or things unpacked. 

Today wasn't smooth-sailing but we learned a lot from previous experienced about how to get a little bit more organized. There was coping out, there was bullying, there was trying to navigate around nervous people, there was trying to get people to do things on time and understanding people vs ill-intended people. 

So, the coordination started with the Internet Guy. We cannot live without the internet...not even for a single day, so that was priority and we got that done first thing in the morning! Yay!

The Movers Guys - The movers were a bit delayed for some reason but I trust them because I've used them for the third time now. I. HATE. MOVING. But they were late and I don't want to ruffle feathers because I am counting on them, you know. The Fucking Bully is gonna be on the chase soon so we waited for them. The thing is, they always know the best way to get things done, although not cleanly like all those professional movers who charge you premium for wrapping, transport, special care etc, they just do their thing and make sure not to break your stuff. 

I know because they've criticized me for having so many damn stuff for no particular reason and yet helped me, anyway. 

Secured the plumbing guy and then the AC guy (for the required AC service before moving out on the old house) and although I asked not to service all the ACs, he did all of them. Whatever. At the end of the day, the Plumbing Guy coped out because of 'parking problems exclusive to this condo' (I can't deny that because this fucking condo's management is the WORST). 

But my AC Guy did it. And we're OK with the bathrooms, then. =)

The Management - This management is some strange shit, man. It looked like, for the past 3 years, all of them are trying to secure a promotion or a job. Bootlicking max and nobody has a spine. You know what the Head of Management told me when i tried to challenge the guards inflexibility? She said, "Chill, OK? These guys are away from their families and they are doing their best and they adhere to our rules and they cannot make decisions on their own, etc".

AGENT - I met the agent of the old unit while I was wildly trying to transfer as many things as I can. He gave me THUMBS UP. WHAT? He just wants to make commission, right? That's what agents do. The way he dealt with me is legendary agent job scope. 

I am and we were NOT PERFECT.  But it was not pleasant. It was not a home right from the start. These guys wanna make quick cheap money from you because they are in power and they don't listen to you woes and that's why, these people want cheap money, 

I refuse as much as I can. 

I walked past him. He still holds onto my money.

Evil people. I can't do anything. We might come back. Who Knows?

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...

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???) ...

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...
