Disillusioned yet happy and hopeful
Big and little niggles that hopefully will get sorted or become less bad
I cannot forget that profile. Youngish, probably in his early twenties. An almost innocent face. Innocent, he was not. Why, I asked? Too many times. What did I do to him? I played back the route that I had taken in my head. No accidents. No stalled vehicles. Nothing unusual. The early morning traffic was […]

I get mopey. It comes and goes. When I’m mopey, the one recurring question in my head is, ‘What is the point of life?’ Don’t get me wrong. I’m not dissing life. On the contrary, I am grateful for my life. The people, the experiences and the learnings that have influenced and shaped me. My […]

I made a plan. To eat more. To sleep more. To care less. Eat more. I thought that’s what I’ve been doing all these years. Eating more or at least eating enough for my wants/needs. Not according to my husband. He has always maintained I eat too little. And, what I eat does not constitute […]

Big moan. Smoking in eateries. Blatant and more prevalent now. Which made me wonder if the smoking ban has been relaxed or rescinded. I checked. It’s still very much in effect. In fact, Malaysia enforced a no-smoking ruling at all eateries and restaurants nationwide on Jan 1, 2019[1]. Not just eateries. The ban covered/covers a total […]

I’m not despondent. I’m not negative. But… growing old generally sucks. Yes, I know there are upsides. I am aware of the many wonderful things old or elderly people say about growing old. I am one. I also espouse some similar views. They are not untrue. They are also not wholly correct. Not for all […]

I like the L word, love. A happy, serotonin, feel good emotion. It’s nice to love, and be loved. And, it’s not just romantic love between lovers and married couples. It extends to the special love and affection that exist between parents and children and vice-versa, siblings, friends and even random people, who leave a […]

Sirens are but one of the more conspicuous noises of city living. Especially the part of the city my husband and I live in. Our condominium building sits very close to the intersection of Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Ampang, two long and traffic busy roads in Kuala Lumpur. There are 3 hospitals on our […]

I am no expert. But I do think there are far too many bad and evil people in Tamil TV-land. How do I know this? Since sister number 4 left for Brisbane on 6 April, I’m with my mum 24×7. My evening entertainment comprises Tamil serials that my mum watches, courtesy of Sun TV HD and […]
