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-

My Maternal Grandmother

She’s a great old soul and not shy to swear a mile a minute when one needs a good tellin’ off…lol

I have often listened to Grandma tell me about the times when my mom and uncle were young, how she would walk instead of taking the bus, how she’d just have peanuts and black coffee for lunch, how she’d stretch her meager income to raise her children so that they could have nutritious food to eat and a chance at a good education.

Those struggling days are long gone. Her children have all grown up now. My Mom is in the UK unfortunately, far far away. And my dear Grandma, in her Golden Years, well, she’s in the Golden Age Nursing Home. Living by herself amongst the abandoned and unwanted.

Mom, I know you have told me that there is nothing that we can do or say to change this, as Grandma is stubborn and still insistent on doing whatever keeps her closer to her son. But how can someone leave their Mom, the MOM that had struggled and single-handedly raised him, in a Nursing Home that smells of decay, stale urine and desperation?

Every time I visit, I cannot sit for longer than 10 minute because I am overcome by the smell of stale urine. Every time I visit, I have to stand outside this Tall Tall Padlocked Gate and wait for the help to open the gate and it is hurriedly locked behind me as I enter. The slope of the driveway puts a ski slope to shame.

Tell me is this the Thank You that Grandma deserves? Is this where she is to spend the rest of her remaining years? This sucks mum.

I’ve been trying to think positive, be positive and look on the bright side. I know that Yes she is no longer staying alone in her hot hot room by herself everyday, Yes, she now gets 3 square meals a day cooked for her, but that’s all superficial, that’s not what matters.

How does she really feel inside? How does her heart feel? She is in a place that is not her Home. She should be with the people she loves. How can Uncle do this to her?

:(

Belly dancing

It never ceases to amaze me how a good instructor/ teacher can make a difference.
A long time ago, I went and tried a belly jam class in the gym. Hated it with every fibre in my body.
Last night and tonight... A sexy lady named Karen Madrid showed me the true art of belly dancing and how sexy and ultra feminine this dance can really be.
I fell in love with.... Belly dancing.
Which other sport tells you to, 'let it all hang out and shake everything like it was jello!' 'don't hold in your butt, let it go and jiggle it!!' she shouted gleefully.
Now that I can do with my eyes closed, you see I have an abundant of jello to jiggle.... ..this is my kinda dance...

Wishing on a star.

Star light
Star bright
First star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Be the love of someone's life.....

Headstands

Just a venting post to complain about the fact that some people have such hard heads and stubborn necks, they can literally and I mean literally stand on their bloody heads.

I mean, what person in their right mind would want to do that? God gave you feet you know, with them ten twinkly little toes to grip the ground. What would you grab the ground with if you were going to fall whislt on your heads? Your ears?

Oh well this post could also be because I'm just being a sour mango as I really can't phantom how the heck to balance 70 kilos on the crown of my semi- hard head.

Have a good morning then to all.

Just a thought

Sometimes, just sometimes. We should stop and think just for a moment.

Yes, we care, yes we should be righteous and fight and petition and voice out!

BUT, maybe, just maybe, we should voice out louder and fight harder for what's wrong in our own front yard first and fix it, before we shout so long and loud, to try and fix someone else's front yard which is three streets away.....

Just a thought....
