Weather rain or shine

this morning sky was dark n cloudy as i drove to the park for my workout.My motto is whether weather is rain or shine,i will work it out. i have umbrella n raincoat in my bag pack so im ready to go on exercising.except if there is lightning or thunder,i will stop as it can hit the trees n open space and send trees crashing down.so good refreshing to workout in light rain as the mist sprayer falls on my face n body.pray its not acid rain or my hair fall will be worse.those toxic chemicals can corrode my scalp so need to wear rainproof hoodie next time.

Classics in literature

The.great classics in literature has timeless wisdom to teach us.Human nature is the same all over the world from the emperor to the commoner as we cant run away from our dreams,hopes and desires Reading an article by a woman who is the wife of a militaryman serving in the US Navy.i sense the long separation and sacrifices made by the family when the head of the family is missing from the daily life of his family while he is facing life and death situations in some distant land.so Ovids Metamorphosis resonates with a spouse learning to live again with her husband after he becomes a civilian. It reminds me of the Classical chinese poem The song of everlasting sorrow on the ephemeral nature of life.and the transient joys. the sky and the earth will not be eternal however this regret remains and lasts forever and ever. the other poem is wuyi or a qin dynasty war poem. How can it be said that we have no dress.We shall share the same robes.Our king has called forth the levy,and so i must get ready my battle ax and spear. let us share the common enemy <. div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Rip Datuk Dr Anuar

Dr Anuar was my late dads cardiologist who did 2 angioplasty on him to clear arterial blockage.Read he has passed away so pray his soul rest in peace.A very caring and professional medical specialist. To have our body maintain homeostatic harmony between different functioning systems from respiratory,digestive,cardiology,urinary,endocrine is a wonder balancing act of nature.so thankful my influenza A infection didnt lead to respiratory distress like Khalil Fung pneumothorax or pneumonia because my GP acted fast to prescribe Tamiflu.Now i spend on supplements like tigermilk mushroom or monkfruit infusion to boost respiratory health.thankful for goód health this year.also pray kitty recover from bladder infection n eat well as hes lost weight.

All women have wombs but not every woman is fit to be a mother

Im horrified by the Singaporean news that a divorced woman let her boyfriend abuse and killed her 4 year old daughter.its monstrous as even beasts will fight to protect their young Come on her biological father had 3 children from 3 different marriages and cant even save the life of his own daughter. i think if the woman is unfit to be a parent,give the kid up for adoption .the kid may grow up with a better life

Fusion

i cooked fusion food.spaghetti with chilli crab sauce.i used frozen crab meat,bought Del Monte tomato ketchup,Kampung Koh chilli garlic sauce,stuffed crabs n loads of chopped onion,garlic n ginger and shredded torch gingerbor bunga kantan,a bitbof rice vinegar n garnish with coriander.for tea time i bought from nite market the steamed rice cakes with palm sugar filling or malay putu piring. this month im pokai because of unexpected expenses in repairing and car maintenance.the vet bill for the sick cat also cost a bomb n now i have to buy expensive cat food purina or royal canin to prevent his bladder infection again.my next visit for check up with gynae at UMSC is also going to blow a hole in my budget as UMSC increased medical fees recently.i hope the government will alleviate the cost of living for citizens instead of political infighting n mud slinging.

My respiratory system is better after i drank soy tigermilk mushroom and my tummy restored gut health drinking kefir and kombucha next week i cook chicken bak kut teh and bitter gourd braised with chicken in black bean sauce.Also plan to cook fusion pasta like spaghetti with chilli crab sauce and thai style tom yam spaghetti with shrimp n keffir lime.now spaghetti can be used to cook johor laksa coconut milk style or japanese mentaiko pasta with ebiko roe n shredded nori. Jun looks forward to my cooking n asks early in the morning whats for lunch or dinner i like the fusion recipes.i tell him its a surprise n depends on my mood as i have international tastebuds. i have peace of mind to cook knowing my cat has recovered and loves to laze on the rug watching me prepare food in the kitchen.hes my asistant tester of food.but after his urinary
