The Chinese New Year that was
It’s 1 am and here I am, wide as an owl because I drank too much Chinese tea during dinner. It is scary how tea leaves from these Chinese fellas contain shitloads of caffeine that is many times coffee. So, here I am, wondering what have I done to my blogs? Many of them have [...] No related posts. [[…
Tackling obesity and ensuring better health for our children
I have been talking about our children’s nutrition and especially about added sugars in growing up milk for several months. Some moms asked me if I have worried excessively and getting paranoid. I disagree. It is important for us parents to be aware of the hidden dangers in our children’s foods because nowadays there are [...] No related posts. [[…
Faster think of some resolutions!
Actually, not resolutions but what I am going to do in 2012 1. Bitch more, speak my mind and don’t give a damn 2. Hang on to my Christian faith, never ignore that little inner voice 3. Make an effort to do what I had wanted to do in 2011 – Go for my retreat [...] No related posts. [[…
Public Education through videos
We are getting so many conflicting information sometimes. This is especially so when it comes to matters pertaining to our health. We just do not know who to believe sometimes because there are so many schools of thoughts over the same matter sometimes. So, I am glad that we have better information nowadays via television, [...] Related posts: Excessive Sugars…
Another year gone by
As far as I am concerned, Christmas celebration is over for me. I don’t intend to remain in Penang next weekend. My son’s boss has been awfully nice and gave him annual leave though it is a very busy season where he works. So, we are planning to be far-far away from the maddening crowd, [...] No related posts.

I just baked a cake and I want to blog about it :)
Sigh, I had spent a nice holiday today. Although I was so busy rushing for work till about 3 pm on Thursday, it was still worth it taking a day’s leave. I am going to be on leave Friday as well. I treasure all the simple things in life. I have always been an easy [...] No related posts. [[…
Dear Santa
I have not been a good girl this year. I skipped church. I get pissed and am not afraid to show it. I didn’t spend that much time playing masak-masak at home. I lost weight, put it back and lazy to lose it again. I dropped out of teaching catechism class. I dropped out of [...] No related posts. [[…
Between desolation and consolation
Just imagine, Lady Gaga suddenly broke out in a song ‘Just Dance’ in the midst of Psalm. Thank God the cantor was loud and Lady Gaga didn’t stop everyone in their track of getting in touch with Jesus. If that had happened when the whole church was silent for the Gospel, I will die of [...] No related posts. [[…
Excessive Sugars Intake is the problem
A while ago, I got sick. I don’t often get sick so when I do, I am really sick. I drove to the hospital with a severe headache and bodyache. What I thought was a simple flu bug, turns into a trip to the emergency room. They found my blood pressure exceptionally high. They tested [...] No related posts. [[…
The thoughts that creep in
I thought I will reach church too early today. I was working and decided to drive to Green Lane for mass at 8pm. I left about 7 pm and was looking forward to spend at least 30 minutes in solitude. However, a terrible jam made me spent all the time on the road. By the [...] No related posts. [[…
Wonder if I can do that?
I am just wondering if I can happily live a life with books, foods and family? You see, I am surrounded with a lot of books that I have never finished reading. The titles are so varied I wonder if I have multiple spilt personalities living in me? So, I was thinking if I could [...] No related posts. [[…
Seven years and still surviving
Let’s see..in the last seven years, I have made one police report against one pervert. I had been also been investigated. Though not over my status as a blogger, it is also partially related. Seven years and I think I haven’t change. I am still the same mother. The same woman. The same blogger. The [...] Related posts:The blogs are…
“Just a housewife”
I went to my sons’ college today and learned many things. One of them is how great I am as a parent. I have never dictated to my sons what I want them to be. So, they pretty much made up their mind to be chefs on their own. Second is how grown up my [...] No related posts. [[…
Enlightening coffee chat that leads to big thoughts
We had a coffee chat with someone a few evenings ago. And maybe I want to reflect on some of the enlightening things that went through my mind and things I said. First, faith is something in deed. Something that we need to physically do. Even if it is doing nothing, it is faith. For [...] No related posts. [[…
Thankful, I guess
This is one of those ‘I don’t know what title to use’ blog post where there are so many things you want to say but you can’t. Yet, bottling them up is like a soda in a bottle waiting to pop. Yesterday, or is it day before yesterday, someone I least expect said the most [...] No related posts. [[…
Dear Mac, I miss you
Dear Mac It is raining now. I am listening to emo songs playing on the radio. Lite.fm has those old love songs that make you emo. So, I am missing you. And I found some old photos of you in my Flickr. Darling Mac, do you remember what lovely home I provided to you? You [...] No related posts. [[…
But…make-up is nice!
I was chatting with a girl friend today. We were talking about finding Mr. Right. You know, female reporters are the most cincai and most do not make-up. Initially when I was into this CJ thingie, it was okay for me because I am on my own. Moreover, I am a videographer and video or [...] Related posts:Wearing the saree…
Taking that Steve Jobs quotes and pondering over them
Ah! The drama! The outpouring of grief. The melodramatic postings on Facebook especially. Really beh tahan. I know Steve Jobs is or should I say was a great man? He made me my iPad, iPhone and iMac. And my soon to be Macbook Pro. But do we really need to idol worship a man that [...] No related posts. [[…
It’s Christmas to me, as far as I am concerned
I cannot sleep. Because I fell asleep at 7 pm till 9 pm. Now I am as alert as those chirpy birds outside our window in the mornings. If I have my regular work computer with me, probably I can do some useful stuffs. But all I have is a computer I hijacked from my [...] [[ This is a…
Making mental notes of the weekend homily
Church is a nice place to seek refuge. It has that awesome feeling of being in something big and all enveloping. Like a huge palm that embrace you and tell you, ‘Hey, it’s ok, you are safe here’. But then, many times, we are too self-assured, too preoccupied with our achievements, too busy with life [...] [[ This is a…
