Your Asian mom

It was my second time joining 10k steps walking for the year. Here I am joining Nestle's World Walking Day in Tamparuli. Early in the morning, it turned out to be chaotic as organiser was not prepared to hand over t-shirts for those who came by 6am (although the itinerary told to collect them at 6am). People were yelling and pushing each other while the gate was opened.at about 6.30am. While waiting for the event to kickstart,we went to one of the coffee shops at this small Tamparuli town for breakfast. Here is the sneak peek of the inadequate roasted pork noodle cost us about RM5.50 each. It tasted like Mee Tuaran, although it was known as Mee Tamparuli. The state sport minister fondly known.as Datuk JJ flagged off participants at about 7.30am, it was when the sun had emitted its unbearable heat. Luckily the walk had been reduced to 5,000 steps... When the crowd was released, it reminded me the himpunan hijau protesting the controversy LYNAS plant in Pahang. As w...

It seems like after the second reception, I have kinda like the marriage life and actually have adapted the responsibility as a wife. In fact, I find the comfort to come home from work, start cooking for husband and later cleaning the house. After dinner, it is totally pleasurable to switch on dvd player and watch Grey's anatomy season 8 or other drama series. Although sometimes husband will drag and nag me to take bath, it could be irritating but at the same time I am relieve that someone does look after my wellbeing. My dad and I have always think a husband has to be someone smarter and will help in changing us to better person. I think he has that potential...especially in managing financial and also guiding in my career(although we are in different field). His sacrifice in forking money in both wedding receptions also touched the bottom of my heart. Cos I wont be willing to do that...and he is just one of the government servants. I hope Im embarking on the right tr...

I had just underwent my fourth and fifth wedding ceremony recently (the first having marriage or registration, then church wedding and later reception). Since the chinese ceremonies were held two weeks after the one I had in Sabah, therefore I had the lackadaisical attitude which quite annoyed my husband. And the day came, instead of being excited, I was quite irritated for knowing I had to wake up by 6am for the 3-hour makeup and hairdo session. And, the most torturing part was to endure my toilet urgency in a huge dress with another can-can layer in within. For Chinese, they played the girls fooled the bestmen and grooms prior to seeing the bride. So, I had my childhood bestie who was quite hardcore in torturing people. As for mine, she had asked them to sing national Anthem Negaraku, push up, write down 10 promises and dance the Oppa Gangnam-style. As the game finished, a lady, which my family called her as "Penghuluwati" because she was so manipulating and treated...

A lot of people asked about how's my first night. And most of the time, i'll answered them it was fine. But the truth is, -I will need someone to sit with me for hours to tell on the exact physical, emotional and thought. As the first night is equal to post-wedding reception, both of us were tired due to me had three hour makeup, standing on 3-inch highheels greeting people as well as dancing...(that had not included in few insomnia nightsnas I was worrying how the event will turned out).To cut thing short, we executed it by dawn..after we took few hours sleep. We decided to have it..because its now or never. Create the BIG history so that we will be proud to say we had our "FIRST" night. It went according to what the bible scriptures said- man has to deposit theirs into woman's body. I had to let it happened although I was a bit skeptical about it as Im afraid I will allergic to his sperms. Initially, I did feel a little discomfort with the foreign flu...

I found one such so-called cheap sundry shop for people of Sabah, next to BTC Kolombong. I thought those good will be exceptionally cheap, but its not. It has almost the same price as what other hypermarket offers... Mom said she didnt like the items there as the packaging is in white color with funny number one. Eventually' she only went there once and never want to go back to the place. At the back stated manufactured by JUTA BERSIH from Kuala Lumpur. Why not having those items from local? Above picture is the grade D egg priced RM11 for 30...is it considered cheap? posted from Bloggeroid

The Borneo Post in broadsheet size, costs RM1.20 each is vailable at the vendors as early as 6am. For me the English is fairly good, it does cover community news as much as general issues. I've read repeated exclusive stories written by the senior reporters- as their names have been there for quite centuries, literally. Daily express is another bold newspaper as it dares to report on controversial issues such as the Kinabatangan river got polluted due to surrounding oil palm mill;the healthcare service in town which  sometimes it suggests the patients to come general hospital if only they are dying; I also solute the way the leadership being non-partisan in reporting opposition and rulling parties...I mean no twisted fact. I heard Daily Express has been doing well on crime stories as well... New Sabah Times, which is in tabloid, has a lot of Bernama stories. It saves someone's pocket to subscribe the online national agency news. Despite they use most of the Bernama...

The first movie I watched with husband. went to Suria Sabah, and it costs us MYR10 each. Here is the synopsis I extracted from http://www.imdb.com In 2072, when the mob wants to get rid of someone, the target is sent 30 years into the past, where a hired gun awaits. Someone like Joe(Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who one day learns the mob wants to 'close the loop' by transporting back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis). Prior to watching this movie, I do like the concept of time-travelling. But I was wrong, the time-travelling was merely the storyline that lead to the core story of the rainmakers- a group of people who were assigned by the mob to kill members of Loopers in future. As the old Joe was back at his past, he seemed to be a different person than the current Joe. Old Joe deeply felt in love with a Chinese woman who got killed while the rainmakers came for him. Old Joe could not accept the gruesome tragedy and decided to change the past- by killing the three ki...

For a not-so-wealthy family that the woman of the house has to do the house chores, it is almost 80 per cent true. I work equally long hour as husband does, and yet I still need to tire myself up as I get back home. a) although I have tidy up the bedroom and the sink before I left to work, yet I have to repeat it again..and perhaps again. This, causes a double-work for no overtime allowance and sometimes irritation on why I have to redo the same thing when the mess is going to happen the next minutes. b) As I mentioned the repetition- especially the part where I have to have contact with damaging agent such as corrosive detergent, rough surface of brooms or mops, those activities really impair my smooth-supple-young skin. c) Cooking is another little challenge for me as although I prefer to have tasteless healthy food so that I will always look like supermodel Amber Chia, yet it kills husband's appetite and thus he ran to nearby coffee shop to buy small portion of scrumptiou...

Besides the taiwanese signature milky tea pearl'Chatime- I do realise that my one year plus working and staying experience in Kuala Lumpur had thought me a lot about surviving. ALERTNESS    The experience teaches me to be on alert all the time. It includes taking care of my belongings-holding my handbag close to me while walking on the streets, keeping valuable items away from passenger seat while im driving alone' locking all the doors at home (cos husband is not doing that previously ). PROTECTIVE My previous working environment taught me that personal life details could become a weapon for others to jeopardise or gossip on us. Thus, it has become a habit not to share facebook information with colleague especially. I've being secretive on my wedding that it irked some of my new colleagues here. I am not sure whether being secretive to them is good, but I feel safe. PROACTIVE I like to prove that I'm good in every aspect. I want to work harder ...

Recently get married and people(including my big boss) have been asking the same question in different approaches. a) How's your SEX life? b)So, how's married life? c)When will you bring your junior to our place? d) are you on folic acid supplement? and the list goes on... In reality (and I believe those who had just married knew this)...days after wedding reception were really tiring that the only thing we wanted to do was to sleep,and sleep. For my case, as I just get transferred to new workplace, I felt choked more than excited to step into marriage life. Job and marriage are both careers that need substantial commitment.  As both took place at the same time, I was totally worn out, having sleep deprivation and lost appetite on food. Sex after that??? However, in order to satisfy them, I had to answer them that sex was fun, increase in frequency and etc. After recovery, I started to acknowledge the Christianity teaching on Sex is a privilege for those wh...
