Hope

At least there was a good piece of news to round off an otherwise busy and unfulfilling week - Mark got second in class!! And his level position was 19! Wow. That's really something. To celebrate his good results, we're all going to watch Men in Black 3, courtesy of his proud dad.

As for me, I'm looking forward to my trip to Turkey and the Outdoor Adventure Camp the following week. Meanwhile I'm going to continue to keep fit and look good, even though I don't feel too good sometimes. Well I think they call this the 'empty nest' syndrome.. though my kids haven't left yet, there's a gap where I used to be so busy taking care of their needs. I don't know how to go about filling that gap. I tried filling it with sports and stuff but the problem is, I'm doing them alone! So it's not about being busy but about connecting with others in a meaningful way. Well I managed to do some shopping, cooking and a short workout yesterday. Well anyway I think it's a matter of adjustment anyway. Soon, I'd be busy with school again after the holidays and I'm sure I'd find some better way to spend my Friday nites and Saturdays more meaningfully rather than 'alone'.

Maybe I should look for more ppl in my age group or older who's experiencing the same thing...they definitely aren't busy with raising small kids. It's just a matter of looking in the right places and keeping myself open ... there is certainly hope. Thanks for 'listening', ppl! Have a good week ahead :)

Looking good, looking for good too..

Good looking women are assumed to hv a string of suitors and changing lovers when they tire of them. Well Though i happen to make it to the list of sexy women, it's ironical that it's always men who made use of me and tire of me. And it's even more ironical that I'm actually feeling really lonely! Yes I can get dates but it's not quantity i want. I don't want flings, discreet meet-in-hotel affairs and petting dates!! I want a real man whom I can talk to, who's got a whole day n night to spend with me, who keeps in constant contact with me and who really loves me. Cos I know I can be faithful to him too. I'm looking for good too. Well quality like that is worth looking hard n waiting for.

Ambushed for the third Sat in a row!!

Ambush@J8 is a European concept restaurant that serves really nice German sausages and rosti. I love how crispy they are and the rosti goes really well with sour cream. Check out what we ate there:

Mid-morning break

Taking a break after 2 hours of housework- shelling the prawns n steam-cleaning the house. Made a bowl of oats with : creamy Greek yogurt, chopped mango, some blackberries, crushed cashew nuts, wheat germ and Yakult! Tastes absolutely yummy plus it's sooo healthy! I'm really hooked on Greek yogurt! It's not only less sour than the normal variety but creamier and tastier. Almost like whipped cream! With the live cultures and the fruit and nuts, it's an awesome breakfast! Well my second one cos I can't survive just on one. House is sparkly clean now and floor is sooo shiny! Looking forward to lunch at pasta de waraku with my kids and then facial at Avon.

It's now 8 am at the market. Enjoying my prata kosong and teh Tarik at the 24 hour prata shop before I get my fresh fish n prawns. This coffee shop holds special memories - chit chats with friends and family over prata, thosai, briyani n teh Tarik. I love their prata, stretchy n fluffy as compared to the hard crispy version. This one has less oil n tastes better in my opinion. For this year at least, this is going to be my regular Sat morn activity- breakfast n marketing. Will be nice if I had a friend to meet n yak. Just like this father n son sitting just in front. (Father has gone to settle the bill.)

Sex so good that it made me cry...

As I lay next to him, tears trickled down quietly into the pillow. The sex was just so good that I could hardly hold back the tears. Caressing his hairy chest and inhaling the musky scent of his bare body, I feel intoxicated and high. How could sex be so good that it makes you cry?

What are friends for...

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail but a true friend will be there beside you saying, "Damn, that was fun!"
