Rainy Rainy Night





Pic from Google.
 
What can I say... just so lovely :)
Each time it rain this heavy, I love love love being at home.
All cuddled up with a cup of lavender tea..

Preparing to lull me into deep sleep later.
Thank you God for showering those in need of water.. and at the same time makes me feel so warm and loved!

Day Dreaming #1

... of Jasmine.


I'd love to have pots of Jasmine in my apartment (actually daydreaming of my mansion with huge garden, but.. come on.. how possible is it to get a mansion in Penang!?)

Imagine the early morning breeze, scented by the delicate petals..
Or sip a cup of Jasmine scented green tea..
Maybe take a few whiffs of Jasmine breeze, brought by the heavy rain wind?

I used to place a few petals in my car, and then driving makes me happy :)

I was at the nursery yesterday.. a pot costs about RM12.
I'm resisting a purchase as I will be off to Bangkok soon, and no one would water my plants then.

Soon, white beauty.. 
Wait for me :)

Get Well, Buddy..


I was high on Panadol (yes.. just Panadol can easily make me sleepy) last night when I got the call. My staff got into an accident and was hospitalized.

The cheeky but reliable boy. And then I heard "bones" and "dunno how long in surgery room".. and my mind was blank. What the hell? I'm the sick one... what was this about hospitals and surgery?!

I just spoke to the boy before he got off work!
I knew he wasn't doing good when his Dad called me.
Walking into the surgery ward was a horrifying experience. I haven't gone to one in decades.. (ok I'm not thaaat old.. maybe 2 decades).
As I looked for familiar face.. my heart kinda broke when I saw the boy. Bruises all over, and his face... swollen lips and bandaged. I kept thinking.. how could this happen to someone I know? He was sleeping when I reached.. and looked very fragile..

Spoke briefly to his dad before he woke up. For a few seconds he stared at me.. and I thought he probably was still drowsy. He recognized me.
He can't talk.. but he tried. And to see the usually cheeky and lively person in this state is (I'm loss for words). What could I do to help?

At this point, all I can do is offer a silent prayer that he recovers soon.
As long as everyone is safe and sound, that is all matters.

You're missed at work, boy!

Happy Valentine's






Whether attached or single, may you always (365) have blissfully happy days with your loved ones.. :)

I refused to give in to commercialism, hence:
- I was at work till 8pm, it was raining heavily (even God was tsk tsk tsk-ing me)

- Because it was raining, I had to go to the mall for a quick bite. It took us 30 mins to get a parking spot. Never underestimate the power of V Day.

- So glad not many favour Subway tonight. Had my Sub Of The Day.

- A random pop in to Daiso and came out with these, sigh:



Then I head back home feeling rather happy. Except that tomorrow is a Public Holiday and I'll be working.. again. I'm romancing my career you see...

Lasting Marriage


Some tips from a Taiwanese Feng Shui master:

* Do not hang your wedding potrait above your bed.

* Do not place lamps by your bedside.

- The above combination mimics a grave. You are "praying" to yourselves everynight. How good can that be?

Hmmm kinda makes sense. No harm trying eh, for the sake of your marriage..
