All I can say is ..."What a month!!!!"
Bad things happened but God meant it for good. Be encouraged. I remember when I was younger, mom used to bribe me with food to go visit the dentist. Sometimes things we go through are painful and difficult, once done, we realize that we don't have a bad tooth anymore and that we gained a bar of Toblerone (it was a BIG thing last time..)
God has his plans. Who am I to question? I am human nonetheless...I still ask questions but God surprises me with the answers. We are in good hands..

Things I Want To Do Before 40
I thank God if I live to see 40. I want to celebrate life by doing these things. God help me as I place these milestones one at a time.
1) Reading the Tamil news.
2) Performing at a rock concert.
3) Traveling half the world and giving out aid and food.
4) Speaking Spanish like drinking water.
5) Clearing the mess in the house.
6) Bringing down my hip size to, say, just right?
7) Learning to cook super power rassam.
*List is not exhaustive

Wasting Away
As my partner-in-crime said to me, I am still stuck in CNY and giving out angpows...
Actually, it has been eat, sleep, work, work like dog, then sleep and occasionally going to the loo.
I love my job but it is laden with the bureaucracy that even before starting the fight for humanity, you are already down with food poisoning from what your boss gave you for breakfast.
I need to do something more significant. I need to get out there and do things I am really passionate about. I want to go back 10 years ago when I was super idealistic and had the chance to embark on many things. Now, I am just jaded and looking through the rubble of my broken passions for something to salvage.
Someone please help me.

Chinese New Year's Eve
Cooking, washing, cleaning, cutting, wiping, stirring...... I am so tired I could die.
The in-laws are down and that is just the thing I needed after working like a dawg for the past 2 weeks. When it rains it pours.
Every household have their own culture. If I am expected to cook 24/7, NO WAY HOSEA!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, if no one is fussy then it does not matter much. However, MIL wants to cook this, do that, eat this, suggest that..... aarrgghh
On top of all that she 'mentioned' that she does not want to tire me out and asked me what I was thinking of doing for the meals on NY eve. I told her that I was thinking of buying food home and then start preps for the dinner after a non-fuss lunch. Nooooooooooooo .... she then suggested eating rice. Thank God I am the Queen of frozen stuff from Penang!! I took out all my frozen dishes we cooked whilst I was back in Penang and heated everything up. No complaints as it was cooked by my si foo back home.
I was on my feet from 10am to 11pm. Doing all the above. I like cooking but not under these circumstances.
The steamboat dinner turned out well and they enjoyed the yee sang.
Now planning the next meal and slaving in the kitchen.

Another Day Another Year
Blessed New Year to you all out there.
Stepping into 2008 I have seen many changes. For a start, I can now save 5 minutes a day by taking a newly opened road from my house (every bit counts if one is 32 going on 40). That means less swearing and being in a better mood in the morning.
I have also undertaken a temporary swap of portfolio at my work place and so far, I have been doing new things which is giving me a sense of being. I am excited to wake up in the morning again. :)
