The Real Start of the Year 2026

The boys are already geared up for the time of lives this year, setting new resolutions and goals but one thing we did not see coming was...Apple products in this household. We are Windows people through and through. What the hell am I seeing here? How are we supposed to use this? LOL

I can give people tutorials about how to handle things in a digital marketing and branding perspective but DAMN, we have no idea how this works and how to set it up. Apparently, the SG company that hired Son2 thought that this was all he needed. Apple....in a Windows world.

We are so clueless even now but he's going to be on-boarded today and we will figure out how the home-settling is gonna be like.

We have 2 work settings here, 1 for me and another for whoever needs it. Son1 is mostly on-site so, he doesn't need the workspace. So, I had to set up the extra workspace for Son2 for Hybrid so, this is my new setting. (typing in the dark is so fzzzzng hard which is what I am doing now).

I might make it a little more practical a bit later but we've not settled down yet so, nothing's cemented. But it looks good and comfortable for now. I don't need double monitor because I tend to just need my music in the background and focus on what needs to be done.

What I can say is that we have stopped using Foodpanda and Grab for meals and it literally saved our budget. There was a point whereby ordering a meal for three costed us RM80. And when it rains during peak hours, it got too expensive.

RM80 for a meal for three people is simply unacceptable.

Some people taunt me with "You don't know how to cook" and "Do you need to buy a wok so that you can cook and save money?" No, I don't need that.

I can cook under the sun with minimal ingredients and efforts if I have to.

What? The boys didn't help? YES they fucking showed up and you didn't. My Family. Who would you choose? The dad that fuxked around

But still, this is really cute. No context.

This was freaking CUtE, that really cute. The End/

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???) ...
