Uncertain times

 We are living in the midst of changing times.i feel anxiety about aging and losing my mind to dementia or my health to cancer.i read the british retiree who migrated to Cyprus with his wife of 50 years and killed her to end her suffering from leukemia being bedridden with pain.its mercy killing but he was jailed.state laws should permit euthanasia to end prolonged suffering.but there is always the risk that people whose pain in the heart is overwhelmingly more than pain in the body like coco lee who would opt to end it all.

I feel worried about rising inflation and healthcare cost and a new wave of global pandemic.im increasingly pessimistic about climate change and state of world affairs.in the changing times,i will just live for today because many things are beyond my control .carpe diem

Baking day

 Weekend i bake breakfast food.its baked bao or siew bao with malaysian twist.i made sourdough potato mixture n filled with curry potato n minced chicken filling with curry leaves.its a healthier version of curry puff samosa as its not deep fried but baked.i experimented by baking it 2 x.it worked but the shape was a blob.

Bhutans gross national happiness

 Reading Bhutanese academician Dorji Wangchuk enables me to gain insight and reflect on my life.

I reflect on the 4 pillars of well being and my emotional well being is only 40% compared to physical and social well being at 80%.my spiritual well being is mediocre at 60%.

Its good to seek a balance between the 4 pillars.

As Bon Jovis song its my life says

But im not gonna live forever

So i will live my life while im still alive

Its my life.

Happy dancing DAMA

Condolences minister of domestic consumer affairs n cost of living

 Today i bought 4 packets of green vege for rm10 and 3 chicken drumstick for rm8.

I appreciate the hard work done by late minister of domestic consumer and cost of living minster YB Salahuddin Ayub to fight inflation and keeping prices of essential food 

affordable for B40 and M40 group.my deepest condolence to the family of the departed as they mourn the loss of a family man as the nation mourns the loss of a hard working minister.

Jasa YB di kenang rakyat biasa dan harap penggantinya terus perjuangannya untuk menjaga periuk nasi kita.dari kos minyak masak,gula beras,ayam dan telur,kita dapat makanan pada harga berpatutan kerana dia mantapkan harga dari kadar inflasi yang tinggi.

Terima kasih atas sumbangan beliau meringgankan beban kos sara hidup kita.rip

I cooked vegetarian mock soya minced meat with preserved salted vege,bean sprouts and rice noodle.a fruit salad and a cup of jasmine green tea.home cooked meal is good for health so i only eat meat once a day.
