Newspapers Are So Boring These Days

It's boring reading the papers everyday these days. There's nothing remotely interesting to read in it and the world seems focused on who to hand the monumental power of manhandling many countries with nearing elections. Elections. Power. Politicians. To me, that's as interesting as counting the hair on my legs. If I could have it my way, I would rather hand the rein over to our dear 'retired' Dr. Chua who performed an Internet porn recently. I can hear you say 'Wha.......?' But you see, I believe that Dr. Chua is a blind, stupid and innocent man with intelligence way behind his years and experience but I think most of us respect him in a sense that he didn't say, "He looks like me, F***s like me but I cannot say 100% that that super performer is me". He came right out and said it like it is. Now, it takes balls to do that, folks. So, if he was picked as our Government leader, at least he won't be sleeping his way through International forums or lying his ass off to us tax-payers. And then there's the other big news every single day....the horrifying idiocy of people who are willing to blow themselves up in the belief that they are doing something worthwhile for their countrymen. Oh come on......how many already? I lost count. I just can't believe these people can't just go and.....do something really happy....like go paint their nails or something, instead of volunteering (or allow themselves to be) to be blown up. "Here, blow me up lah, I am woman and am worth nothing. I don't mind serving my country for the good of my people. Please take care of my 12 kids and tell me where to go and which button to push". Purleeezzz...... It's a complete waste of money buying the papers in the morning when there's nothing to read in there. Nothing of significance, that is. But I cannot do without the papers because of the traffic jam. Some people apply makeup in the car or eat their breakfast when stuck in the jam. My kids play their Nintendo DS's and I read my papers, drink my coffee and sometimes if I even write my book at the red lights! (Using my PDA phone...then later download to my PC, terror-leh?) I find advertisements more interesting, frankly speaking, my personality being a little creative and all that. So, apart from the Edison Chen sex photos scandal, I got nothing to say about the news. Instead, I find my mind jiggy-ing over creative advertisements. This is one of my favorites....the Digi Prepaid Gong Xi Fa Cai ad where a man talks until he turns into 'Choy Sun Yer'

I've stopped reading the papers years ago. I've found that any really important news your family/friends/colleagues are bound to tell you anyway.

But yes, Digi's ads are always creative and funny and meant for normal everyday folks like us. Not too "cheem"... Lol.

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...

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...

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???) ...
