Part 1 -....as we prepare to move.....

my 3 year and 2 month old washing machine kaput-ed on us yesterday...

In absolute protest...

This morning, my 7 year old decided that we should completely ignore our normal Saturday routine.
So no rushing for Tae Kwon Do at half past ten, no rushing for Aikido at 4pm and no rushing anything.....Just a nice chill out Saturday morning moseying and pottering around the house....that is until I have to go to work at noon that is...Bah!

Quite nice I must say, nowadays, too much to do in too little time even has our little ones protesting and putting their foot down about it. i should learn to listen to my son more.....

Have a great weekend all....

To The Japanese People - You are the true Human Race

The lessons the people of Japan(The Rakyat as we call them in Malaysia) have taught me are:-
Selflessness & Others before self.

No other country in the world can face such devastation and still the Japanese Government is able to mobilize most if not all of their resources for search and rescue operations. There is no need for Police control to monitor unruly desperate behavior of the Japanese People, because there just aren't any.

The Japanese "Rakyat" who have suffered so much still maintain their quiet dignity and respect for others. No looting, no robberies, no fighting.

So let this be THE lesson for all of us. We can see the world is going through massive changes this year and the next.

What we need to do is to learn what the People in Japan are showing us, on how to be the true Human Race. This is what we will need, to survive the turbulent times ahead.

To the People in Japan. Respect and much love.

My prayers are with you today and for the long years ahead.

A true story about me!

The difference between a bimbo and a smart chick. A smart chick knows that her phone alarm will still go off even if the phone is on silent.

A bimbo switches on her volume to the max and lies awake the whole night being disturbed by notifications and text messages.

A double whammy for the bimbo is when she discovers her phone alarm does sound even when her phone is on silent, proceeds to put the phone on silent mode and goes to sleep, without activating the Alarm on the phone.


Story of my life....

ATB - The Autumn Leaves

October 20th 2008

I sat there and listened to the song playing over and over again and as tears streamed down my face like the endless rain.
A part of me died.

I wished, you would have had the decency to spare me. To let me know when the feelings ended, if you were through with me.

But, like they say, time and time again. A woman does what a woman gotta do. A lioness will endure great trials for her cub.

I stayed and I put on a brave face and faced the world. Through a mist of tears, pain and misery I braved each day with a heart, heavy with sorrow and betrayal. Coz life just gotta go on.

It has been 2 years and 3 months now. I am still here. The same and yet, not the same. Never the same again.

Who knows what the future holds.

But let me just say one tiny thing. Just so I can get it off my chest.
During that year, my weight dropped , my 5 foot 8 frame weighed in at 8 .5 stones. Lost my butt and my non-existent boobs.
I survived on coffee and cigarettes.
Only coffee and cigarettes.....

So, now my body is retaliating because it is hoarding the food I have begun to eat again. My body is adjusting to the fact that I quit smoking a year ago, to try to repair the damage I did in that one miserable year.

So please la, don't look at my body and say Wah! You are so fat! Everyone has his or her reasons for something that happens. As I had mine.

Have a bit of subtlety, think before you speak. You may hurt someone's feelings tremendously or worse, cause someone to fall off a wagon.

Autumn Leaves - Poignant, Painful, Forlorn. The special song you shared with her.....
-the pain that lives in me forever-
