Raindrops on zinc roof

Last night somehow all of us, the husband, Milo and myself ended up sleeping upstairs in the attic-mezzanine floor, which we turned into our library and office.
At around 4plus in the morning, it suddenly rained cats and dogs. The rain pelted down hard upon our zinc roof. Somehow I found that sound so familiar. It [...]

Sore feet

Right at this moment, I am blogging while a blind person is doing foot reflexology on my feet. Bloody painful. He said that the more pain I feel, the more problems I have with my health actually. Oh man, if that is the case, I must have alot of health issues I am not aware [...]

Manic Monday

I woke up with a darn mood. No doubt I slept early but the mood, nonetheless- crappy. I barked at just about everyone, and that’s bad as the last time I checked, I wasn’t a bitch dog. Still a human it seems.
The only time I laughed today was when Milo, my reaching-puberty-at-6-months old boy cat [...]

Rhythm and Harmony

Since coming back from Indonesia the week before last, I have had 3 new students for my homeschooling program. One, as I mentioned before is a bedridden boy who cannot walk to this day after his surgery which was a month or more ago. The other two are these two brothers, very good looking I [...]

A Tarty Issue

Do you want delicious melt in the mouth pineapple tarts ?

It is very good ! And you know, I would only do promo for good items. I am a very picky consumer and I am not easily impressed with things. Friends back home, you know my mom used to sell ‘kuih tart’ by the thousands [...]

Little cups of ( bad ) blood

Yesterday the husband and I went for a treatment that we have been practicing since 2 years ago, as an alternative to the current mainstream medical treatment i.e going to the medical clinics. We went for acupunture cupping at AKUBEKAM, this chain of acupunture cupping clinics run by Dr Hj Helena Abdullah, a Chinese Muslim [...]

Big and Beautiful ?

It’s nice when you are slim or pencil thin and have no problems shopping for clothes. For those who are on the.. ehem… ‘fleshier’ side like me, shopping for clothes can be quite a tricky issue. I do not really enjoy  looking like a ‘sarung nangka’ , you know ? Many clothes on retail here [...]

Antara Cinta dan Sepi

During the weekend I caught the movie SEPI. I found it to be half-baked. I felt that CINTA was better and of course, PENSIL surpassed them both.
It has star studded cast alright, but to put it in a baking analogy, SEPI to me, is like a cake where the baker uses fine and expensive ingredients, [...]

A label

I have had quite a nice exchange of opinions with her yesterday on her blog about putting a lable to a community/society, which somehow brought me back to a phase I had with some friends circa 6 years ago back in my hometown. What started out as a conversation amongst ourselves over good food at [...]

Of news and mews

The past week, I avoided reading the newspapers/watch the news/read online newspapers. Too much ’sinetron’ in there. It helps that I have a new assignment that is going to fill my mornings from this week onwards. So political drama can be ignored, really.
Every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays ( morning ) for 3 hours each session, [...]
