my town is under water.... Help.... Really!!! We have so much rain that the town is becoming soggy.
There is landslides, mudslides, gushing water down the stairs and disappearing roundabouts. yeh! Water water everywhere nay a drop to drink. the roads have turned to rivers and the canal is under 1 foot of water.
My garden is like a pool, and soon my koi fish will be swimming on the grass. Tomorrow I have to run out to get floaters for my dogs . My patio was half covered with water this afternoon and my dressing table took a bath too. The rain was so heavy that if you are under 10 kg you will be washed away. Well, actually a car was washed away into the canal last nite just outside my house
.
Now we can't go out unless you have a 4 wheel drive cos you can't tell where the road begins and where the drain ends. I was told
The roads in town are under water. Now this is very bad, very bad cos the town centre is by the sea. There are many new shops by the sea front. So now not only do they have sea view , sea front frontage , now they also have sea water inside.... Suppose to be funny but ...don't think anyone is laughing.
the rain is still pouring down as I write this. The rain will be around till next week. So put away your news shoes and take out those plastic slippers. Chinese new year will be wet wet wet. put away your stilettos cos it would only sink into the mushy ground. Not just the heels , mind you, but the whole shoe.... Hahaha.
I also have a 4 water features on the ceiling of my bedroom. When will this end? God please be merciful and stop the rain

itsy bity spider
This morning I flew to KK for my review with Dr. Khoo , an eye specialist....well it all started when I saw cobwebs floating about. At first I thought, oh no, there were cobwebs on the ceiling, no, they have moved to the side wall, ....oh oh what was happening?
Strange, then I realised they were in my eye. Doing a dance. Cant be sure whether it was the rumba or the samba, but they were moving. So I quickly went up and took my contact lens off to give it a good finger scrub. While I was scrubbing, I noticed that the cobwebs were still in my eye .
As I couldnt pop my eye out to scrub, I popped the contact lens back in and .....panicked....but of course I did nothing. That nite on the way to a dinner, I saw flashes of light . Now this really worried me the whole nite. Cobwebs I can take, but lightning, now that's a different energy source altogether. So when I next go to a disco I dont need strobe lights for effect, I have my own.
So the next day I called to make an appointment, flew in, checked....phew!! Only floaters and lights flashes...nooormmmalll !
But still I had to go for a follow up , so that was this morning's trip to KK. Glad to say, all is well. Let the floaters float.
Had an early lunch with Maria Moi at this place famous for its beef , noodles and Hum Ching Piang.....the lady said that they were very well known . How come I never heard of them before? So I bought some and gave to friends and family. Hope it was worth the carrying !!!Pat said lets see if its better than the one sold at Kim Fung market. Will let you know......

Goodbye my friend
My friend Nyuk WEi called me on Monday with news I never expected to hear so soon. Its has been about 3 year that we, class of '79 lost one classmates to cancer. So Nyuk told me that another friend has passed away , I felt that its too soon. Hey after all we are all of the same age. She had a family, children and friends , she will be missed.
its never comfortable when someone you know in school moves on. its not like she was old , but she was sick. 53is too young to die.. Actually at any age is too young to die.
For a fleeting moment my own immortality came to mind, but then again, we have no control over our lives. Only God has , so why worry too much or dwell on the subject too long. its in God' s hands how long we live. we can't extend it even by living healthily if the Lord says its time! So ? I dunno . what I do know is that we must treat each day as special and do what makes you and everyone else happy. Do all you can to keep healthy . Do all you can to love yourself , then your family and friends. Do all you can to live a good life according to God's words ( for us christians ) for others according to your religion.
May you rest in peace Lin Neo.

Excitement.com
Well CNY is just around the corner....hahaha,so lame...huh? But you know what I am starting to feel the excitment. I wake up every morning wandering what else is there to do before the big day? But I cant think of anything. There is so much fun doing things the last minute. However, this year I am so organized that there is no last minute thing to do...this is the danger of maturity.... Hahaha!!!
This doesn't mean its going to be boring! no I have friends who need help still , so out comes the superfriend cape to the rescue. Today I doing something soooo exciting, ...buiying a small rice cooker for Sonia and me. You see, we have so few people eating that its such a waste cooking out of the big rice cooker where more rice stick to the side and bottom than on our plates.
The dogs eat more than us. So today I am on a mission to Chung Hwa or OnOn. Hope they have this electrical appliance for sale. Not exciting enough for you? Any more excitment and I will get a heart palpitation. Just kidding! Could do with more excitement for cny. I thank God that I am all set for 3 rd Feb. Life is sweet when God fills it with his grace and mercy.
OK people....get going , get off your butt and make use of God's blessing to bring happiness and cheers to your family !
Happy New Year friends. Kong Xi Fa Chai !!!!!

It's time......
No, no body is having a baby! It's time for chinese new year again, its that time of the year again. Its time for house cleaning marathon, eating binge, shopping for stuff we dont need, cos last year's things for cny 2010 are still in the store room....that time of the year....sounds familiar ?
Well, the good news is that, as we look back ( ie, grow older ) we now feel that a lot of things, we dont really need, no need to have a 100% squeaky clean house cos "the perfect house wife" isnt visiting us, and so many types of food are on our daily 'no no' list anyway cos aunty so and so said its not good for you, we dont need to have all new clothes starting from pyjamas , under wear to red tops etc etc,...that's for kids only. hahaha. One , ok,ok maybe two new things hanging around your wrist or neck will surfice lah!....or a new blouse will do.
All these chinese traditions stems from ancient china, where people were poor and so could only splash out for new clothes once a year. Now we buy new clothes 36 time a year so, everyday is a new year.We eat well all the time so, nothing special any more. With the internet , HP, skype we are constantly in touch with our family all over the world so, .....well, guess seeing them in person is always better....
If it sounds like I am not looking forward to CNY, well, part of me isnt cos my kids are away. Luckily I still have 1 coming back. There are fewer and fewer of us at the Tsen household so the fun and laughter decibel will be a lot less this year. This isnt going to improve anytime soon.
But, hey, Lets be happy and glad we are able to look forward to CNY, with God's blessing we will meet up with family and friends and wish them well for 2011.

1st Drama for 2011
On Thursday 13/1/11 , the ringing in my ears was very loud. The chinese opera was in town, albeit in my ears. It bothered me very much cos it took over my thoughts and I was worried about it. So on Friday morning I went yo see an ENT Dr. He couldn't find anything wrong so, I guess that' s good. I thought maybe my ears were dirty but, hey... Its clean. He reconds the blood isn't circulating well in my ears so he gave me some meds for this. Then in the afternoon I noticed a black thread like a spider's web which has been forgotten for centiuries ,in my left eye. At first I thought it was my contact lens. So I popped it out and started cleaning it ,when I realized that the black string was still in my eye....as I couldn't pop my eye out to clean it , haha, I called the eye specialist in KK and made an appointment.
That evening on my way to Wah Mie Annual dinner at Yu Yuan school, I saw flashes of light at the pheriferral of my left eye. This went on for about a minute. Now that really scared me. So on Saturday morning I called KK and was asked by Dr. Khoo to come in immediately. So we booked our tickets and flew to KK.
After checking he found nothing wrong.... Thank God, but, he said that the jelly in the eye has liquidify so its slooshing around too much. He advise me to take it easy and rest more and stop all forms of exercise. Normally it happens to older people ie . seeing floaters and flashes
But because of my extreme high power it has happened earlier. Oh well, so it's not all bad news. At least there are no holes or tear etcetc . I was more worried about retina detachment. The string of black cob web is still floating in my left eye.....
So already in January, the first drama has played out. Hopefully no more for this year. From Now on it's all eating eating till chap goh mei... Now the next concern will be the expending waistline....it has already started and it's still two weeks to chinese new year.... Better get my XXL pants out on standby.

The first surprise for 2011
Guess what? Had my first surprise. my yoga friends and I went out for a casual dinner, but they had a surprise in stored for Joanne and I. They celebrated our birthdays. Although our birthday is in Feb, but because of the chinese new year coming up, and as we will all be busy, they decided to celebrate our birthday 1 month early.
Thanks my friends for your thoughtfulness.....cant live without these good friends.
We went to town , behind Gentingmas and had dinner at a new place opposite KFC. The ambience is OK but it was too warm for us, that's age for you.....to hot, too salty, too sweet....hhaha, no longer the domain of our parents.
Anyway, the dinner was ok, nothing to shout about, but the cake was delicious. Natalie made it for this occasion. Thanks my friend. We still had a good time and laughed we did, loudly too. People looking at us would probably think what are these aunties doing at a pub?....oh well, the good thing is , we dont care!
So, now we get ready for chinese new year,...hmmm, how do we loose all that spare tyre before CNY?..the eating has started.

woah...2011 !!!
What happened to 2010? Where did it go? For most of the world it went to hell and back. Nothing good happened in 2010 that could overshadow the bad. Now its only January and already so many bad news on TV, you name it we have on the news ! What have we done to mother earth to deserve God's wrath ?......wake up poeple !!!!!!
On the home front it was better. Praise the Lord for his mercies. I am forever grateful to HIM for all the blessing for 2010.
Now, we live life like other folks with no kids at home, keep busy, keep busy, so even if the kids dont call, we wont sulk and feel lonely. easier said than done but, its their time now to shine so, step back old foggies, go join line dancing, painting classes , sing along or tai chi...what ever tickles your pickles...hahaha...just dont moan and wait for the phone call from any one of the jewels of your eye.
If you have daughters then you may be a bit more fortunate, cos the chances of them calling you is 30% higher then those with male testosterone !...if you get my drift? Maybe its only mine....oh well...
Now i am busy running around getting my house in order for CNY. That gives me something to do I guess. Not that my house needs anything else, but still....its fun shopping around for things you dont need or want, just browsing,....bought a vase the other day, so cheap, RM29/-. Looks good with flowers. Actually the one I really like cost RM500 so, I settled for a cheaper version. So if the maid breaks it accidently, I wont suffocate her in my dreams!
My kids are back safely at uni , we are back at work after a long break in Dec, yoga classes started too, so ....CNY we are ready ! Come year of the rabbit!!!
Lord give me a good year !
