It’s Monday again and my mood doesn’t look quite bright today. I didn’t get to savor my hot coffee before I had to start my job. I’m still laying off on my routine abdominal exercises for a few days, thanks to my stomach cramps during my stomach upset two days ago. Well at least the exercise made my tummy looked more toned up instead of having an unsightly flabby pocket dangling from my tummy.

I just overheard the discussion of the ban of chewing gum in Singapore over the radio. I think it was a wise move made by the government to ban the nasty thing. I really hate having to step on those candy and removing them is a nightmare. Thankfully in my stay in Malaysia, I’ve not faced those problems anymore but I do occasionally catch a few delinquents pasting the gums onto a public property.

I almost forgot about yesterday’s news regarding the new Sultan Johor Vision. I really support his visions and reforms he would be implementing during his reign as the sovereign. My whole family too was happy to read about the goals His Majesty had set out to do, in fact most of his Johorians were very happy about it. I know, since I was there when the locals read the newspapers at the market. It was the hot topic discussed by the locals and I might add, they were all smiling very widely.

The news can be found on TheStar.com.my

Long live his majesty!

The eye bags around my eyes are real evidence to my unfitful sleep. I’m not sure how I had it, but by 10.30pm, I was ruling the toilet bowl with my retchings. The tummy upset was very upsetting and caused bad muscle cramps on my tummy which I’m very susceptible to.

There goes my dinner and my milk tea combo. I’m really not sure what I ate to cause such an upset to my stomach. I ate whatever was served to me by mom, whatever my family ate, I eat it too. Strange how none of them were affected by whatever that ails me.

The stomach upset made me lose my sleep since I had to constantly wake up and empty the contents or whatever was left in my stomach. The funny thing was, during the day, I was as fit as a fiddle but at 10.30pm exactly, my stomach turned into twists.

As a matter of fact, I could still feel my stomach clenching and unclenching itself due to the aftermath of last night. I’m not going to risk anymore emptying of stomach contents, so I’m happily taking in my pills that relieves stomach upset and crams. I always have those pills in my storage as repeated events of these happens to me quite often.

Anyway I was reading the auto insurance quotes given to me by an insurance agent in Kangkar Tebrau. She’s the one of the rare ones that gives insurance to old cars like mine and with good rates too.

I’m getting sleepy.. I think I’ll catch with my loss of sleep now. See ya later!

Finally it is Friday! Tomorrow is my most welcomed and beloved day, SATURDAY!! I can finally relax and enjoy after office hours that is. But I can’t wipe the smile off my face today and can’t wait for tomorrow.

I’m waiting anxiously for my PO from a customer and a payment from another project which I had successfully clinched within today. In fact, both of the sales have been successfully closed today. All my hardwork has been paid off.

I am so going to enjoy my big fat pay check from my boss and going to splurge and pamper myself. Perhaps I would go get myself a new pair of shoe and a bag or head out to a spa! Weee…

I’m going to pamper myself fully and not going to care about any problems for the time being. But then, I wonder how often does the spa changes their spa filters. Ugh.. ok not going to think on it..

Think happy thoughts.. happy shoes!!!! Wee…

I’m not sure if anyone has ever heard or know what hemorrhoid is. It is actually a pain in the butt infection and hurts as much as the old expression goes.Hemorrhoid is actually an inflammation and swelling of the veins in the rectum and anus.

It is usually caused by too much strain of the rectal muscles and insufficient liquid during the passing of motion. If you ask me, it is best to spend a few dollars on a container of prunes than straining over a hard stool during those daily toilet routines. Eat three a day and off you go for a happy toilet visit.

However if you do suffer from hemorrhoid, don’t worry, there is a cure for it. Apart from getting hemorrhoid treatment from doctors and pharmacists, drink plenty of water, eat yogurt, consume more dietary fiber foods like prunes, guava and other sorts of fruits and vegetables.

Practice good eating habits and hopefully your toilet visits would be less painful!

My beloved desktop PC nearly gave me a heart attack. It insist on not cooperating with me and stubbornly refused to boot up. There was no light, no alarm, except for the whinning sound of the fan. I had thought my power supply or motherboard had died on me again.

The stress was close to sending me to a hospital. I hate waking up to a horrible morning with a dead PC on my desktop. So at 9am, I unplug every cable accessories to my PC and lugged it into my dad’s bike and vroomed off to my favourite computer repair shop.

Luckily the shop was opened and after an hour of watching the technicians fussing and vacuuming (yes vacuuming!!)  my PC, my darling finally woke up from slumber and whirred to life. I was so very happy that I nearly hugged the my friend over the counter. The last I visited them to bring my PC to the ICU, I had to burn a few hundred in my bank account. Furthermore, I’m so going to get the PC that she was selling as a new set.

Then as my dad and I headed back home with my darling resting comfortably at the front, I caught sight of an enraged motorcyclist couple quarreling on a road shoulder. They had parked their bike and was on the road side, quarreling loudly and pushing each other to the road. Not really sure why they were quarreling but the guy really had a huge chin acne on his face.

So many eventful things happened within 2 hours and its not even noon yet!

Need to get another one of those arthritis treatment heating rub for my parents. Initially I was skeptical at getting those medical balms for my parents. Duh! There is no such cure for arthritis unless you can somehow pump in permanent lubricating oil into the affected joints.

So as a skeptic, I had rubbed the balm onto my aching knee and I could feel as if my knee was on fire not the hot scalding fire but a soothing fire. Surprisingly it eased  my aching knee and I was up and running like a doe.

It really works and you can get any brand, not just stick to Tiger Balm only.

I need a new set of office wear clothing and new shoes!!! I know I’ve been slacking off on my office clothes but I didn’t realise the severity of it until a few days ago. Now I’m stuck with the chore of clothes shopping. I don’t mind shoe shopping since it’s very easy to me but office wear shopping… ugh! That is one thing that I’m terrible at.

I prefer my clothes to be colourful and have a slight taste of life and essence in it. So if I have to choose a black suit with whatever stripes to a simple batik prints sundress, I’d gladly take the sundress. However the blouse from Free People, its a brand name, found below does look nice, at least it’s not a funeral procession all-black design. (>”<)

And what in the world is the problem with shoe makers these days? All the covered toes shoes are either strangling my poor toes or trying to chop it off. It is more horrifying when the shoes start to bite on my heels and cut off my blood circulation. Whatever happen to comfortable comfort shoes?

Are Crocodiles, Scholl, Alan Deon, Americaya, Hush Puppies and that other well known brand that I can’t remember, the only ones who make shoes for the OUCHY-FEET people like me?

I am seriously thinking that shoes makers are trying to cut off our feet and make feet mannequins out of it.

Who would have known that searching for a new job would be eye straining and body lagging. Ok so body lagging is not a proper term but hey, it’s my blog and thus, it’s my thoughts and words here.

It had been a slow process of picking and choosing the best job for me. Frankfully speaking, almost all of the jobs I had experienced in. The only job I’ve not had my hands on is Marine, Oil & Gas Industry and Aviation. I’m yearning to learn something new and thinking of advantage those industry would provide me send adrenaline rushing through my veins.

Hopefully I get a new job that is challenging, doesn’t make feel as if I’m rotting away and hopefully..really hopefully I get my hands dirty. I really miss having the dust, dirt and grime covering my body as I try to wriggle through the cat walks during my job station in Singapore.

I’m a hands on gal and gets bored almost easily whenever I had to be reinstated in the office again. I’d trade my Oblivion Game for getting back into the manual labor. Perhaps that is my secret to quick weight loss diet. Hehehe..

No pills for me..but give me grime and manual job and I’m all go! I wonder when I could get into action again. It’s getting a little boring staring at the monitor all day..

Oh ya, I made a new batch of cookies the other day. Not sure why it increased it’s size by three times but it sure taste nicer than Famos Amos! Will include the recipe later!!

It’s finally Saturday and too bad for me there was nothing interesting in the news today. A mug of coffee and breakfast on my front yard did nothing to boost my still sleeping brain cells even though I had awaken an hour earlier. After a week staying at my sister’s house in Pasir Ris have made me miss the little tots.

I miss waking to their high pitched laughter, someone peeling my eyelids open or even facing the little hunny giving me a hickey on any part his 4 baby teeth can get. Okay, perhaps not that one since I still have his teeth marks on my hip! But I still miss my cute little darling nephews..

As you can see, that cheeky smiling darling above is my personal favourite, Muhammad Danial Afik a.k.a Aby-aby or Apek by me. He is the little angel that gave me hickeys whenever I’m sleeping and I’m not sure how his small legs could allow him to climb onto the bed.

I don’t have his other siblings picture with me. I didn’t have time to get a proper picture of them since they were both busy running around and creating more mischief than their parents could handle.

Perhaps one day, in the upcoming months when Afik is more stable on his feet, I’d bring the kids out for a walk around. I’ve been wanting to bring them out to see the Merlion and get some nice pictures of them near a water fountain but not near those pond fountains. I don’t trust them not to dip themselves in the pond.

Had a great time last week and for those who are craving to get a glimpse of the pictures we took, head out to Pixies to get the pictures. Don’t worry, you may even download it down and print it out later guys. It’s still in the original format, so its original quality remains!

Currently I’m feeling very sleepy and the coffee is not working for me. No amount of caffeine can make me awake. grr..

I was suppose to get a friend of mine her list for Medicare supplement, somewhat like our Medisave but it looks more like an insurance scheme to me. Well I gotta go now. See ya all later!
