Down with flu

climate changes from thunderstorms to hot days has made me catch a flu.my joints n back ache like hell runny nose n sore throat make me so tired.need to rest to recover. feeling lousy i really want merdeka or be free from virus n germs n ill health i skip zumba today as muscles ache.gonna lie flatn read my novels instead no energy to bake or cook.eat congee. i read in China a daughter was angry as her parents arranged blind dates n urged her to get married.She left home to work in another state n never contacted her parents until her dad dressed in teddy bear costume and travelled thousands of miles away to offer apology n bouquet of flowers to her n they reconciled. i understand the patents dilemma as a single mother myself.i just wish him to find a life partner who will share his ups and downs as i cannot be there forever to offer emotional support or social support.A parent is the hardest job in the world as we have a role to take care of the kids as we are responsible for bringing them to this world.they didnt ask to be born.What will happen if jun doesnt want to learn self reliance n rely on me.if i am sick like now i stll go to the wet market to buy food n drive around running errands .he doesnt have plans for the future when i get sick n old and need long term care.thinks i put him on guilt trip when thats the reality of aging.im looking at nursing homes near a public hospital so he need not send me for hospital visits n check ups one day.seorang ibu boleh jaga sepuluh anak tapi sepuluh anak tak boleh jaga seorang ibu as chef Wan recalled when looking after his own elderly mother in my condo there are many elderly widows living alone.their childten employ a indon maid to look after them but i guess its not the same.even in a nursing home ill learn to live with strangers in a new environment.when i was renting my previous condo,i befriended an old lady living alone.i pity her so i took her shopping grocery sometimes.she looked after her grandkids until they grew up n schooling and her son put her alone in the condo n put in a CCTV camera to keep a lookout in case she falls .but she was lonely so she wanted to babysit neighbours children to occupy her time.i feel we are turning into Japan and Singapore where old people die at home and no one notices until rotten smell irritates or maggots creep out to neighbouring unit. So i support euthanasia machines as end of life solution when one is ready to depart on sound mind but sick in body.why prolong pain and suffering? why be a burden to others? no point to delay the inevitable as buddhist say life is uncertain but death is certain.

Tiger mom

jun was so super sweet.He asked his graphic designer pal to personalise a t shirt for my birthday.i laughed when i saw the message.growl dont mess with a tigress.i love it.

Wild wild dream

I was really tired after gardening yesterday.i pulled weeds and hacked down overgrown plants,i trimmed deadwood and repotted plants.it was hot and backbreaking. After that mopping the floor and cleaning toilets until by evening my shoulders were aching. last nite i had the wildest dream that i loved i dreamt i visited my cousin sister in Singapore and third uncle was still alive.My crazy cousin took me out on a slow fishing boat to explore some off shore islands. ive never felt so at peace as when iam in nature..ive felt so serene exploring islands in Singapore.the stunning sunset of glowing twilight among the dark trees of a swamp, eagles were circling in the sky,swooping down to catch fish.i can taste the briny seawater as the waves splash on my face.then we landed on a deserted island and went clam digging and fishing on the shore we dived into the crystal clear sea and small fishes came nibbling at our toes.nature gives me tranquility and joie de vivre.i feel so alive in the sea,sun and blue skies.i didnt want to get out of the dream but my bladder made me wake up.i really miss the sound and feel of waves lapping the sandy shore

A birthday gift

ive been eyeing the lovely assymetrical tank top sold by Lululemon ,a Canadian sports attire online shop.i didnt buy it as it was too costly and im not sure if western sizes would fit Asian women as we re smaller in
size. so today while out running errands,i saw a bargain sale of sports bra at rm 15 and the assymetrical tank top ive been longing for.they allow me to try it for size so for my coming birthday,i got myself a gift of the black one shoulder sports bra.its called a toga sports bra.i love the fit and freedom to pair it with a long flowy skirt.

Review of Korean movie

The horrible thunderstorm spoiled my plan for swimming.went out for indian vegetarian Thali lunch at My flying elephant.good of David to drive the 3 of us there really one Malaysia,a Christian,Hindu and 2 Buddhists sharing lunch.David opted for meat chicken 65 whilst us women ate vegetarian.i like decent sized meal at rm 10.90 set lunch with iced lemon tea.they used healthy Basmati rice. glad to chat with the IT manager who had lost a lot of weight and i could hardly recognised him as hes into exercise now like hiking.hes into healthy eating too
so maybe the next vegetarian lunch we could invite him to join us. I saw the South China Morning Post gave a 4/5 rating for Korean movie Pilot.its like American movie Tootsie or Robin Williams Mrs Doubtfire on cross dressing middle aged male.But the message i guess is current as in this woke culture,its anti social and bad for career to make sexist comments that is misconstrued as sexual harrassment.The Me Too movement shows that the fight against gender discrimination can topple the careers of many high flying male. celebrities The characters that were more realistic is the sister beauty influencer on youtube or the kpop idol obssessed mother who is into celebrity cult figures and goes on her pilgrimages not to holy sites but squid deep sea fishing excursions.very relatable characters.lighthearted comedy .good for a laugh. some korean movies have complicated plots like one im viewing on a young taxi driver and the female ghost passenger who keeps following him.creepy story.moral of story is dont pick up females with long hair dressed in white.check if she has a shadow before she enters the car.this horror movie is also a crime mystery as the ghost used to work as a police woman.

Public intellectuals

Some of the discourses i like viewing are presented by Indian thinkers.Of course the most controversial one at the moment is Arunhadti Roy. Apart from her critical stance,AmartyA Sens the Argumentative Indians is titled aptly of his fellow Indians from Kishore Mabhuni Can Asians think to Vijay Prasard Youtube videos on south america,africa or latin america,a large part of glo bal south informs us of issues left out of western media scrutiny

Pissed off

Both male occupants in the home pisses me off.the human one is so lazy to do housework,his toilet stinks like a nightmarish hell hole when i was forced to clean it as its unhygienic n disgusting.never does the laundry and just keeps unfolded clothes in laundry basket piling up. if the big baby is bad,the devilish tom cat is worse.he tried to hurl his body on my foldable screen to bring it crashing down.he pulls off the leaves of my potted bamboo plant and pisses on my bookshelf.he scratched ugly marks on the padded chair and dipped his dirty paw into the fish tank.the neon tetra and angel fish all died as water was contaminated by his dirty paw that he uses to dig the kitty litter.i had to sterilize the fish tank and bought new platy fishes again.wait im gonna buy a powerful water gun to shoot him soon.these two males drive me up the wall.

Hot food on cold rainy days

with the cold,rainy weather,im eating more hot,spicy food to warm up.i understand why Sichuan mala hotpot and sichuan pepper is popular as i froze to ice when i went to Sichuan in winter and temperature dropped to 5 or minus 10 celsius and biting wind is torture. I cooked steamboat for dinner.then had fettucine stroganoff with hot pea soup.i cooked chicken in cordycep soup with red dates the next day and pumpkin with minced mock beef n spring onion. the cold weather makes me cook hot thai food.i need the heat.

Korean temple food

saw a short docu on south korean temple cuisine at J8ngwansa temple in Seoul. the presenter from Superjunior Yesung is already 39 years old but looks half that age.He eats healthy food n maintains a constant weight of 50 kg. the temple food has a rich cultural history n includes lots of fermented food n homemade tofu with seawated.even the soy sauce is brewed on site from starters in 1960s.the temple food looks super delicious.yum yum beoseot gangjeoung is sweet n sour shitake deep fried mushrooms.cooked with apple,cucumber n pineapple.saliva drooling.

In the flow

ive a bad habit.when im engrossed in my work,i dont feel hungry n get so focused that i didnt eat lunch until 3 pm when i felt lightheaded due to low blood sugar. when im in the zone,i feel energised.my colleague was lamenting that she had just completed her work when there was a power surge due to thunderstorm and all her work was gone as screen just shutdown.thats why i keep on loading onto one drive and my pendrive before my work is affected. work keeps me mentally stimulated but emotionally drained when my work is rejected.acceptamce of rejection is a humbling experience and keeps me on my toes to rethink and recreate. such a heavy thunderstorm as im about to drive home.i feel cold,wet and miserable driving in the traffic jam in a downpour.i stopped at the supermarket to get groceries to cook hotpot.perfect weather to eat steaming hot food.i went past the Japanese restaurant to oogle the food displayed.its beyond my budget at rm88 for a buffet per pax.the 2 of us will cost rm 200 and thats enough for 2 weeks grocery of meat it looked so mouth watering especially shingen mochi or raindrop mochi well time to go home to cook hotpot.within 20 mins of meal prep dinner is ready.

Fashion icon

The China model Hu Bing has a competitive advantage over other Chinese men.Hes very tall and fit for a middle aged Chinese male who would usually look like Teletubby at this age.He should start a clothing or fashion business as he dresses in stylish fashion suited for mature males.His sense of fashion exudes class and professionalism whether in casual or formal wear.impeccable taste in clothing n fashion. Now its hard to find clothes in fashion suited to mature women.They are more for youths or young adults not the mature ladies.i usually look for vintage preloved clothing at flea markets like my silver flapper dress or palazzo pants.Hu Bing shpuld invest in production of clothes for mature people. i wont be seen dead in a micro mini skirt like Lisa of black pink or plunging see thro dresses.So the silver economy is in need of diversity and anti ageism frumpy clothing.

Old photo

i couldnt recognise myself when my old varsity pal sent us a photo we took as 21year old in petaling street shopping.i bought something from an old shop Mun Long thats long gone.those were carefree days n the best time of our lives.
