Lunch. . .

A simple homecooked lunch for me today. A simple tuna spaghetti I do so truly enjoy to pieces but my eldest daughter shy away from it because it's tuna and my beloved hubby declare it unappetizing to look at. Just cooked with garlic, canned tuna with olive oil, olive oil, anchovy stock. . . And the taste is heavenly to my palate. Healthy too. .

Money. . Money. . Money

I love money and I want money, don't get me wrong. And I'd love to be a millionaire if God will let me. I can pay off my debts, and create a wonderful life for my family and myself. Go for trips and all, buy anything I like and not worry about debtors chasing me. Put my kids in college and have enough to comfortably by. But the chase for money can be frightfully scary as I see friends, peers, colleagues, clients and others sacrifice too much, their own health, their loved ones, their faith, their own dignity and self respect, and all just for money. I have seen marriages break; colleagues overworking until they collapse, die or get sick; peers sleeping or having sex with potential clients for accounts, losing their dignity and self respect; colleagues forgetting they have children or spouses; and so much more. To them it becones a case of eat money, sleep money, live money and their motto is just money. Nothing else stands in their way and sadly, in my line of business, where clients investment is of utmost importance, it is not so with them. They put money as their most important factor, but oh no, not the clients money but their own. All these to achieve that brand new BMW in 6 months, or that Tod's or Louis Vuitton handbag. They dress provocatively, go to work from as early as 5am and home only at 1 or 2am. And oh, back stab each other and also others, steal other people's agents or clients with no guilt at all. . . Children and spouse are neglected. Oh dear God, please do not let me be like them. I pray for the strenght to continue as I am, hopefully to be even more successful then I already am, but never losing sight of what is most important in life, my family, my own health and God. May I live a moderate but comfortable life. . . amen

Couple who sponsored maid's studies awarded.

A Malaysian couple fully sponsored the tuition fees for their Indonesian maid to get a diploma to improve her living standards back on Indonesia . The maid got her diploma in the Open University Malaysia and is now holding a top post in a private company back in Indonesia. The couple are now also winners of the F&N Outdo yourself Awards, which I whole heartedly agree they deserve. It takes a rare person to really have the heart to do something like this for a maid. Sadly, too many people around believe that maids are meant to be treated as maids or even worse, slaves. Too many people do not think that these maids have feelings too, and dreams. The Indonesian maid Sarmini was really lucky to have met wonderful people like Mr Tan Choo Tang and his wife, Mdm Wee Phooi Kuan who really went out of their way to help make their maid's life more better. Kudos and thumbs up to Mr Tan and Mdm Wee.

Crocodile's teeth

Crocodile and their teeth

We visited the crocodile farm recently and came back with a hard to get and unique souvenir, crocodile's tooth. Or teeth, because we got three of them. One for my eldest daughter, one for my husband and one for me. According to some old wives tales, there is a medicinal property in the tooth where if you have a toothache, you can get the crocodile tooth and grind it against a stone or something to get the powder. This powder, you can rub on your tooth ache and then, it is believe the pain will go away!!! Not sure if we will try that out, but we are keeping the teeth as souvenirs , a locket or a charm.. .

Yummy hawker's seafood

My hubby and I, we had a break from the kids, my girls, as one went back to her grandmother's place in Penang and one followed my sister in law, her aunty off for a few days to spent some time with her favourite cousin. So he took me to one of the best hawker centres in KL or PJ, which was the Damansara Uptown Hawkers Centre. We ordered and shared a plate of oyster omelete, a plate of spicy bamboo lala/ shellfish and a plate of grilled stingray. It was scrumptious. And I definitely enjoyed having my husband to just myself for these few days, just like when it was just the two of us, during the early years of marriage. Wonderful company and great food for very reasonable.prices. What else can a woman ask for? Ermm . . .
