Nothing like Rudy and JJ to perk up your morning AhMat job

I thought working from home means that I don’t need to fight the morning gridlock that Malaysia is famous for. I was wrong. Now, I have to fight the traffic many times throughout the day as I become an Ahmat (driver) to my kids, fetching to and from school. Gawd…..I don’t know how to tell you how much I hate the morning traffic and the lunch traffic snag. But I take comfort in the morning (usually I am stuck in the car between 7.30am till 9.00am) when I listen to Hitz.fm’s morning crew....Rudy and JJ. Although at my age, I should be listening to Light & Easy for some soothing music but I tell you, you must kena their crazy kind of humor in the morning and it perks you up big time, right or not? Like this morning, I woke up late and started barking at my kids from 7.30 onwards (7.30 supposed to leave the house but today 7.30 only WAKE UP!) and then we reach the car, I bark some more. Like a bitchy mom. Then in the car, I heard Rudy & JJ’s ‘I got it from my Mamak’ (originally I wrote it as 'Mama' following the original song but kena pressure into changing it into the altered title. Pua ha ha ha ha ha!) parody rhapsody and I cracked up. The kids who were sullen in the backseat before was cracking up too at their high-pitched impersonation of a woman’s voice. Then we all laugh together-geder. Everybody happy family! All because of this two bunches of monkeys-lah, you know. Good job! And some more, I want to say something about that song they copied…..yeah, you got it from your mama but your papa never did anything, is it? How come you got the good things from your mama and your papa was sleeping while you were being conceived? And how come all the hip-hop songs these days are into crediting their mamas for everything. NOW, everyone who’s a papa to someone, stand-up and make some noise!

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...

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...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
