Yup...Christmas is coming soon. In fact, the spirit of it is already here. FB is flooded with people talking about their Christmas list & conveying their Christmas wishes. As for me, I ain't feeling it...not yet I suppose. I hope I can get in the mood soon. I guess..I'm just stressed out with the activities involved. Caroling practices, preps for the eve's dinner, gift shopping...I know these are excuses! I shouldn't find these things draggy no? I'm posting lovely pictures on Christmas coz I'm trying to stir the 'christmas spirit' within me. Well, I hope I get there...soon. I don't want to be like that Grinch who stole Christmas. Yikes! And I'm trying my best too, telling myself its not about me. Its about Jesus! This season is suppose to be an opportunity! Come on Jezzy! Time to get jazzin' for Christmas. Sigh!

As the year 2012 is coming to an end, I find myself having to make this decision...either to stay on or leave an old post...either to pick up a new post, which is a new thing/role for me. My superior said this to me when I conveyed my intention to leave a particular post. "He said: Don't leave. Its good for your credits & social standing." He has his point but is credits & social standing all that matters in life? I get that credits & social standing is important & all. But I just don't think that it should be the SOLE consideration. So, in coming to my deliberation, the essential point of consideration for me right now is this: whether it is my passion or not? Is it worth fighting for, taking into light my believes which is tied in to my passion. So I chose to take up the position whereby I can make a difference. Where it can benefit me & the public as well. Its time anyway..for me to give back to society. I've been thinking as well a

An uncle dropped by and gave us quite a lot of eggplant today. Since my household is blessed with eggplants, I decided to try out new eggplant recipes which I have tried before at the hawker/food stalls. For lunch, I cooked the deep fried crispy eggplant. I love this dish! I practically live on this dish when I was studying for my CLP at University Malaya. Almost everyday, without fail, I must eat this. Why? Coz I know that veggies are important & compared to the other veges, this is one of the best in my list. When I was done cooking, I was nervous coz I thought I burnt the eggplants while frying them. & when I saw that the eggplants turned black, I lowered the heat. But then the problem was I can see the white color from the flour for frying & in my heart I was like thinking..oh no...that can't be good! And now...for the reveal! Here goes! Taking a bite of it really brought me to memory lane. Its grace! Grace of God that I am here where I am right now. Thanking

Got a call from a friend of mine who told me of her predicament. She was told by a property developer to confirm on her bumiputera (Native) status before she could be entitled to a discount proffered to the bumiputera purchasers. She got agitated coz from her understanding, as long as her parents are of native race, automatically (duh!) that would make her native. But no..coz apparently the property developers question this and hence, the need for her to make a Statutory Declaration that she is of native race. So I got on the job in preparing her SD. At the same time trying to figure out why is her bumiputera status being questioned. And so this is my deduction..(1) the Malaysian Identity Card does not state the race of the card holder. Hmmm...My 2 cents, wouldn't it be better to state our race for ease of purpose, taking into account Malaysia is blessed with a large group of indigenous race who are of native status. (2) my friend's birth cert did not state the race of her par

Haven't been writing songs lately...It sucks! Writer's block or composer's block really sucks. Hopefully, I'm not loosing my juju, my mojo...the juice! Well, maybe its not God's timing yet. Better to receive a song & tune led by the Holy Spirit than forcing out something that is superficial..oh well..oh well..

When a door is shut, don't be discouraged. If its God's will for you, He'll open another door. I'm hanging on to this.

I love my pets. They are all family. This year, I lost my 2 beloved cats, Hannah and Hunter. Miss them loads! I've only but memories of them left. Perdy, the lost one...I know she's somewhere out there. She came to us as a stray. She's a fighter! Hannah...given to us when she was an adult cat. We lost her this year. She is very old. Estimated to be in her 20s. I believe she left us because she doesn't want us to be sad..Thoughtful of her.. Hunter..he is true to his name! He hunts! & he is a wild one! Hunter does what he wanna do. Even my dog doesn't mess with him. He is a rebel...live life to the edge..and it caused him his life. Miss him loads cause this one has got character! Good posing skill & loves to be the centre of attraction. But no, you don't get to touch him cause he ain't a touchy cat. Really miss scolding him and being irritated by him. Smokey...First time I saw her, its her ash colored eyes that grabbed my attentio

I've been on an ID(interior decor) frenzy lately. Been thinking of redecorating my room for years. I have been holding it off for awhile but this time, I'm gonna make-it-be! No more procrastination! Slowly but surely, my brainchild would be materialized in full form. what have I started on? 1. I got an Ikea white rug. Bought it 2nd hand from a friend. Such a deal! 2. I got an arm chair. I've been scouting around for a good chair where I could rest my head while I read my books. In Kuching, the standard price for an arm chair could fetch from RM500-RM700. Way too much for a single chair! So I decided to do the crazy thing which is to get one from Ikea, KL. I know its such a hassle but looking at the price of the arm chair from Ikea, RM189, its definitely a steal! So I bought it. The hassle was worth it and come to think about it, it wasn't that too difficult to bring it back home to Kuching. Such bliss! So here's my latest ID. Am so well pleased! Hoping to do more

Last December 2011, I had the opportunity to visit New Delhi, India. The purpose of my visit was to attend my friend's wedding. This was to be my first trip overseas, & further more, its India we're talking about here. But I was surprised at what I find. Really really surprised & its a good surprise of course! Love the bold colors & pattern from the sarees. Its true you know. A lot of beautiful ladies there. & handsome looking men too. & the food! Though its vegetarian, they're oh so good! How I miss it! The best part of the trip is of course our visit to Taj Mahal. It is a 3 hours drive from New Delhi to get there. We started out early, around 5am so that we can reach Taj Mahal by 9/10a.m. to avoid the crowd. & yes...I am quite amazed at the wide population there. Such a culture shock for me! & if you are a Caucasian or Chinese, you're going to have a lot of eyes looking at you. For me, I blend in just fine coz I can pass as
