8 Years Younger

My client, Kumar, sent me sample after sample after sample, after sample after sample……and asked me to try this perfume, walk out and see what people around me say. And of course, ‘please drop a good word for me…the product when you get the chance.’ This perfume, Ageless Fantasy, when you wear it, it makes people think that you’re eight years younger. No, not eight-years-old….eight years YOUNGER. They use a blend of many different types of scents based on research on aromatherapy. Check their website out for more information. You can’t get it here in KL, actually, unless you’ve got a friend in New York or something. It’s taken me a long time to blog about this because I don’t get paid to write reviews and I don’t lie. I hate liars so, lying about a product is not my th’ng. Anyway, I am going to (finally) write about this because it’s about time and I’ve REALLY got something to tell you! :-) Ryan Augustine de Alwis! Confirm this. OK, I went out with Ryan to this place in TTDI, right? The place is teeming with gwai-lows (white foreigners), it’s one of their hang-outs. I walk in and sees Ryan standing near the bar talking to this guy…whathisname? Logan? Never mind. So, I came up to him, walking past some gwai-lows. Suddenly, a couple of them started walking up to me, sniffing at me. GASP! Yo, why are you sniffing at me? OK, I didn’t say that. I just stared at them, eye sockets popping. “Excuse me, you smell nice. What perfume is that you’re wearing?” one of them asked. I said, “Er….it’s Ageless Fantasy. But you can’t get it here. My client sent them to me from New York.” He frowns, ‘You’re sure it’s not (some other perfume. I can’t remember it because I’m bursting to tell Kumar)?” I shook my head, “I’m sure.” I smiled politely. Ryan turns to me and said, “Wow, you sure attract attention the moment you walk in.” I shrug. I ordered my drink from the bar and after mistaking the guy for someone I know, Ryan asked, “Guess how old she is.” He was pointing at me. God, Ryan, I thought. Please don’t say fifty-two because I’ll run outside and get myself hit by a car. He pauses and examines my face. “Twenty-eight?” Ryan goes Hah! I go…..Oh. My. God. I’m not gonna bother hiding my age now. I am thirty-six. Thirty-six minus eight is….? Twenty-eight!!! Hahahahaha! So, Ageless Fantasy DOES work, after all, eh? July is my birth month so, I am going to be celebrating my TWENTY-EIGHTH birthday this year. Hooray!!! :-)

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...

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...
