Never overeat

 I love delicious food and on holiday,i break my rule and overeat as everything is delicious.im now paying the price as my digestive system breakdown from overworking.from diarrhoea to belching n swollen tummy,its now  giving me hell.so ive learnt a lesson ,dont overeat as its punishing your body no matter how enjoyable the food.

Back to home cooked meals n light meals . burp.fasting is good but dont overindulge when you break fast or your digestion will protest.selamat berbuka puasa

I was out running errands the whole day . My muscles ache and i didnt feel well to do all the reps on workout machines.guess diarrhoea n dehydration has depleted my energy bank.

So at lunch time i ate at the hong kong char chaan teng Kam Kee in Starling mall.cantonese rice congee is great comfort food for poor appetite.i ordered century egg,mince pork rice congee.looked good but guess what,the cafe didnt label the bottle of sauces.not wearing my glasses,i grabbed







a bottle n sprinkled soy sauce on the congee.the idiots put in sichuan spicy chilli oil in plastic bottle n didnt label it.yucks,yucks the worst tasting rice congee swimming in a layer or red chilli oil on top.i forced myself to finish it not to waste food.i nearly puked.it was not bland,smooth and tasty but oily,spicy n creamy.

I complained to restaurant captain to just label the bottles for diners.im not going to dine out for a long time if i can cook tastier n healthier food at home.the ingredients were a blob of a quarter of a century egg and miserly pork mince which i fish out with a spoon

I ordered an egg tart to get my tastebud back.that was good.

After 15 mins,i had serious tummyache and rushed to the loo to download all the contents of the sichuan spicy oily rice congee.it upset me stomach again and i walked out of the toilet with legs wobbly like jelly.never eat out at cafes that dont label condiments.i got all the symptoms of long covid like dehydration and diarrhoea.shit.

Tonite i cooked chicken meatball rice congee with dried oyster,scallop,shitake mushroom,century egg,spring onion and ginger.cantonese congee is thick and creamy and taste so good unlike the one i ate for lunch.

Home cooked meals

 To get over digestive issues,i went back to cooking at home.lucky Jun is the biggest fan of my cooking and i indulge his food craving when he says he misses my cooking.i fried sweet potato kuih keria for his breakfast and tonite i cooked italian chicken stew with tomato paste,italian herbs,potato cubes,fresh tomato,red capsicum and onions 



No sweat

 If i come face to face with a gigantic orang utan,i will break into cold sweat.respect the wild man of the jungle as he is the King of the jungle.

Terima kasih to public service medical professionals.


 I tend to overeat during vacations as im a foodie and love trying new cuisines.the buffet breakfast served a multitude of food from noodles,porridge,bread,cakes,rice,savoury meat curry,puddings and i gorge on food with no restraint.i suffer when i came back to normal routine as last night i visited a public hospital in wee hours of morning suffering from bloating,belching,bad back pain n chest pain.

I thank the public hospitals medical staff at U H for their patience and careful health screening.

Their dedication to their job is commendable as it was the fasting month but still the Malay MO was cheerful and reassuring to patients of all races and ages,some in wheelchairs while i double over in stomach pain.He scteened my familys medical history,check blood and urine tests,ECG and X rays but thankfully it was nothing serious but merely a urinary tract infection.

Now travelling is fun until you find yourself needing to relieve yourself,then its a pain in the ass.you cant answer the call of nature in the middle of a million year old national park or geopark but at our age when we need to go,we need to go fast before the waterdam burst and leaks.

The bumpy rural roads really churns your insides so that its next to heaven when you get to a toilet stop,holding your bladder that is ready to burst at the seams.now why cant a smart genius use tech to invent portable personal potty for travellers who need quick relief. How to cash in on sustainable environmentally friendly travel with a decomposable potty that turns your waste to urea fertiliser and organic fertiliser when it decomposes,thus enriching the soil of the rainforest and giving back to nature when you answer the call of nature.im sure that car drivers caught in Bangkoks infamous traffic jams would pay the earth to have one eco friendly potty when caught in standstill traffic jams and when they come across a public park,they can deposit their organic fertiliser to enrich the trees,flowers and grass and municipal council save on landscape cost of maintenance as thai motorists go green to save the planet.

Have you ever seen a wild orang utan wear disposable diapers so where do they go to piss and shit in the wild?Do they make toilet bowls from twigs or its the riverside for instant natural flushing toilet.You can bet i wont be drinking from jumgle streams anytime no matter how pristine or clear it looks as looks can be deceptive as rat and bat urine cause leptospirosis and apes urine has god knows what in it.

Now toilets are everywhere,anywhere ,all at once in cities.thank goodness shopping malls and highway r and r have so many clean toilets

So next time you take a dump in nature,dont let it go to waste.save it to save the Earth.

The wild man of Borneo is expert at hitting his target with a blowpipe n poison darts.Likewise the wild man of the jungle is precise in target dropping of fecal missiles so watch out!Of course unless orang utans wear disposable diapers!

Thanks to sisterhood





 The bonds of sisterhood runs deep and this road trip reaffirms our support of each other still we are considerate and caring as lai lee sewed batik pouches as gifts for us,brought pineapple tarts and lai khum gifted key chains and our host served th



e freshest durian belanda or soursop juice from her fruit trees.we talked non stop to share the 4 decades of change in our lives.some single women are still active in voluntary work,training  young teachers in red crescent life saving skills like CPR,another has foster students from foreign countries while some have lost husbands and take on new challenges and some are caregivers to invalid husband..but we come together as friends and time flies so fast.

Some childhood friends ive known for half a century since high school days.we support and motivate each other to live to the fullest the remaining years of our lives. Heres to BFF.
