It's Monday and everyone's a little down in the dumps, no matter how you hard you try to resist, if you've had a great weekend, the rearing of Monday's big, ugly, unwelcome head is bound to get to a nerve or two. Don't deny it although I know coffee is taking a little bit of the edge off. =)

Anyway, been cleaning out a whole lot of stuff in the house. When you've been living on your own for more than 10 years and you have kids, it is a given that you might have collected more formerly-'I need this!!!' stuff over the years than you care to admit. I tend to be quite a hogger too, I mean, who knows when you might need that extra iron and broken water filter, right??!!

A Twitter friend also reminded me about not taking brochures because they are handed out for free. I have this habit too. Who knows???!! You might find a big deal or bargain or 8 years down the road, you might find those organic-chicken-only-will-leave-you-immortal tips life-saving? Those darn brochures will sit around in piles around the house for years on end and I never read them, I don't even touch them and I wonder why I even take it. Maybe because I try to be nice. These poor souls handing out free stuff....if you take it, one less rejection, right? Can you imagine handing out something free and people reject them? Equivalent of giving out free hugs and people telling you 'No, Thanks'. It's FREE, damn it, take it! (So, I do. Sucker!)

Can you imagine the number of 5-year-old toys that are still hanging around this house, hidden in cabinets and drawers? Maaaannnnnn.....

Anyway, speaking of toys, here's one for your Monday. Hope it cheers you up if you've not seen it before.


XOXO,
Try to have as much fun as possible,

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???) ...
