Home Remedies

Home Remedies:

 1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

 2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

 3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

 4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for awhile, thus reducing the pressure in your veins..

 5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze button.

 6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

 7. Have a bad tooth ache? Hit your thumb with a hammer, then you will forget about the tooth ache..


 AND..... Sometimes we just need to remember what The Rules of Life really are:  You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't,  use the duct tape.

 And finally... Be really good to your family and friends.  You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan

Eight of Swords

The Eight of Swords card suggests that my power today lies in denial or blocking. 'Don't even go there.' I will not let myself be limited, paralyzed, held hostage or alienated by fear or fantasy that relies on exploitive emotional rescue, sacrifice of truth, or victimization.

I will not be a prisoner to my own perceptions or expectations. Why did Cinderella stay? Do I want to be right or alone? Why have I placed a mental gag order on my own suffering or thinking?

I am empowered to question or endure by virtue of my own self-worth because there is no honor in sacrificing my self to victimhood.

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

I am aware that for some it may be a blue Christmas due to some circumstances but nevertheless we need to keep our chin up and count our blessings.

I strongly believe in Karma and that What come Around goes around.  Its hard not to think of revenge to those that have wronged us in the past ... REVENGE is something that we should not harbour in our hearts.  Let us all pray for strength to overcome "bad" feelings or emotions.

Merry Christmas to the ONES I love,
Even on this day of love for all,
Remembering the love of one whose call
Redeemed all those whose hearts his love might move.
Yet only one love does my spirit prove,

Chosen in a passion like a squall,
Having in such ecstasy withal
Rejoiced in what we were created of.
In such love do we find our way outdoors,
So to be drawn to love of flesh and soul,
Traveling beyond our village green,
Moving towards the wash along our shores
As our love joins the greater love unseen,
Shining with dark passion on the whole.

Breather from Home

Princess spent few days at JE with my own plans filling my days. She had to fend for her self most of the time. Spending time with friends and taking it in a day at a time. Spent and chatted what time she has with my mum. Quite cute actually :)

She slept outside using my bed whilst I slept with Mida. It was ok since I've slept with her before .... she doesn't snore!! Hee hee.

Before this event Chomelanggun and partner have visited my mum and are comfortable with her company. So is everyone who visits my mum .... as long as one do not cross her "mad" path.

Days wore on ... impatience grew on both sides. Talked, disucssion, meetings and what have you .... final analysis .... well, situation - status quo.

*sighs* will it end?? I'm sure. Just the unknown duration.

Teenager's Escape

What do one do when one needs a breather??  Where can one escapes?? .... and too  who??  Friends??

 

Well, whoever and where ever they can find comfort.  But how do one break it slowly and kindly to one's parents if the problem lies in the parents - child relationship.  Which parent want to loose a child??  What can be done??

 

I have been there and seen and known toooooooooooo many of these problems circulating.  When a child is lack of space and parents lack understanding ..... what will the final result be??  Teenage angst and rebellion??  This most often than not harsh words being thrown back and forth ....

 

"No respect" parents accuse.  "So rude."  is the other comment. 

"I'm her parents.  Not a friend."  continued in rage.  "Why can't she see that!!  She must think."  lashed out in fury.

 

"Haven't I followed everything you tell me to do?"  retort softly from a teenager.  "Why don't you trust me??  I tell you my whereabout and whom I'm with." came another reply. "Please respect my space and time."  Came a silent plea.

 

So who normally gets the blame .... Parents blame the in betweens  - friends, nannies, guardians and whoever else they can think of.  In actual fact - is there someone really at fault here??  Or is because we FAIL TO LISTEN.  We hear the children banter on their problems which soon became and STILL IS BECOMING the parents problems.  Yup, I think its the LISTENING and the lack of UNDERSTANDING.

 

Parents lash back - a teenager should never have privacy as its a privilage.  Its NOT optional.

 

HOw can we solve these soooooooooo common woes from teenagers??  BUT THE MOST important thing is .... will my parents listen and try to understnad.  Are both sides Parents and Child - willing to compromise.  Will and CAN both sides accept reallity and facts?

 

My opinion as a Guardian and Godmother and Teacher and Aunty:

 

Respect is something one earns and not because of rank. ...."I will respect you because of your rank.  But I don't have to be sincere about it."  heard this before??  A cliche reply??

 

So how do we EARN their respect??

Listen to their needs.  They have voices that need to be heard.

 

>>  Parents should practice what they preach.  Trust them and give them space of time that they need.

 

"Hi sweetie, how was your day?" asked a parent.  "Oh, we did  ........... and we had ........ " came the reply.  Only such a frank and candid reply would come from a child who trusts the parents will shoulder the child's feelings and not get an "I told you so" kind of retort.  ONLY WILL THE CHILD OPEN UP.

Actually that goes for me too when I was a teeager.

 

The need to know and spy on the child is unnecessary when the child automatically opens up.  Otherwise a mono syllable reply is what one will get more then often.

 

Conclusion: TRUST!!!!  LISTEN!!!! so parents (that includes me) or people in general CHANGE is not always bad.  Being a FRIEND to a child is NOT wrong.

 

Before the end .... one will gain respect and respect will be earned.  Secrets will be shared - no spying needed this will come trust.

Birthday Celeb

It was all too soon before my birthday finally arrived.  It was uneventful.  Though my Happy and merry wishes poured in from all corners of the globe.  I thank you all for remembering this day.

 

As for me?? ..... I was busy with Darian and ACE @ Work.  The place I use to work as a Child Care teacher for seven years ..... once upon a time  :)

 

I went back to LP to get my black gown JUST IN CASE I can't fit into my River Island "nicey".  Ha ha was soooooooo happy that I still could!!

 

All the "hellos" and the "long time no see" and the huggings. .......... Gosh!!  It was soooooooo good to see you people once more.  I'm so happy that I could catch up with you guys for the short hours that I was there.  Thanks for contributing to my blog.  Very interesting articles.  Pictures and snap shots was taken (wich I will publish when time permits).

 

Routine never forgotten though its been a long time since I've been a Child Care Teacher .... but once a teacher .... always a teacher!! 

 

I went to my old class and was welcomed with children that recognised me.  They have certainly grown that I could not recognise them with first glance!!  Since I have not changed in my looks they could recognise me with ease and that children have a memory of an elephant!!

 

I helped them in the make-up.  When it was time we all piled in the bus that awaits us.  Due to lack of space the teachers had to stand.  Met zan and her family there.  We went to our holding room ... which was on the 5th floor.  The lift transports us up there in batches since it could only hold so many people.

 

I went down to join the rest .... since I'm supposedly to be a guest.  I enjoyed the show tremendously.  Shahrazad met all her old friends whose brother or sister was involve in the concert.  Once over I went back with them via MRT.  It was a long day for me and my phone was off or was in silent mode most of the time. ................

LP Occupied

Zan's in-laws came and occupied LP for the month.  Flashbacks of D Court went through my mind ..... taking turns at PC, sharing the Kingsize bed with the two youn uns .... Thank God my dad's bed is huge!!

 

Zan did all the entertaining as usual ... I basically stayed out of her affairs.  I was at JE or JB or BR. Ha ha ha choice a plenty.

 

But I did make a courtesy call and mama and dad and Luisi's family too spent the day at LP.  It was fun.  The dinning table filled till we had to look for extra chairs.  Something that mama had to get use too ... with the kids joining the table (as that was not a custom at her place)

 

The hours lingered on.  Laughters and gossips and merry sounds from the hustle bustle of the children filled the air .... was the order of the day.  I absorbed the senses that filled the air ... How I missed that feeling.  Well, Zan ... can't our relationship change??  What went wrong??  Sadden by this fact always forever harbouring in my hearts of hearts.

 

WHATEVER!!  I suppose sibling rivalry will still stay for some. ....

 

Many more happier tomorrows.

Village Wedding Holiday - 30/11/07 till 02/12/07 (Videos)

Village Wedding Holiday - 30/11/07 till 02/12/07 (pictures)

Village Wedding Holiday - 30/11/07 till 02/12/07

It was a Thursday and I was from my mum's house. I packed what I needed and left for BR. Once there ..... I repacked everything in a knapsack as it was always my style - either alone or with the Princess. So I used the pack that I have been using for the past three years on every chalet occasion with the Princess.

We would always have our clothes packed together. The Princess was out with Hottie so i just put aside what I needed and waited till she got back. Hottie sent her home lingered awhile till it was almost before the last transport depart.

As always .... Chomelanggun fuss about which appropriate clothes to bring for the Princess and myself. She packed which is not the way that I would pack. Words were exchanged.

Chomelanggun - all Princess's clothes at the bottom whilst mine was at the top of the pack.
MY way - I would packed them according to the occasion and day. This way both would be even. If its for the latter than to get to the Princess's items .... ALL of my stuff got to be taken out.

So I repacked them the way I always do for the two of us. Toiletaries, medication, charges and other odds and ends. So Princess had a free had ... almost. Till we got to Larkin the first pit stop before continueing to Asahan, Malacca. Chomelanggun bought snacks like there was no tomorrow!!

We had to wait for two hours at Larkin as the next available bus was at about 16:30hrs!! We had lunch at Mc Donalds and was comparing prices. Notice that prices there were higher than back home. This would only mean that people who eat at Mc Donalds are people are with above average income!!

The NO SMOKING signs were totally ignored!! People still smoke ANYWHERE!! So I just followed suit. I guess when in Rome .... do what the Romans do.

Once back on the bus we each occupied our time listening to music, or .... watching LOTR from my phone video. I guess Chomelanggun took in what scenery she could captured and soon fell off too sleep as did the Princess and me.

By the time we got to our destination Chomelanggun tried calling her bro that was going to pick us up. So we hung around at a stall and had something to drink. It was not long before one of her relatives came to pick us up. It was close to an hour before we reach our final destination.

We all said our "Hellos", they introduce me to them ..... in which I cannot remember half their names!! But it doesn't quite matter. MOst of them know me as the famous "Nariman" that could not speak much Malay. Ha ha. Ok, I'm improving in that area!!

The Princess and I showered as well as escaping to have a puff. There wasn't much that we could help so I just took in the sights and smell of the whole hustle and bustle .... night before the wedding.

Relatives that came to help slept anywhere and everywhere they could find a place. Princess and I slept in the room she use to occupy with her cuz Wani ..... once upon a time. We used a duve to sleep on the floor. I was thankful that the house had plenty pillows. Once the two of us found a comfortable sport .... we laid our heads and soon fell asleep on the hard floor.

The wedding went well enough and soon it was all over even before 16:00hrs!! Wow!! Its soooooooo unlike back home. The time crawled it was like taking forever just for the hand to move to the next minute!! All our pre paid cards for our phones were ALL GONE, even after the second topped up!! *Sigh*

After the wedding Chomellanggun showed me around the village and went to one of her other relative's house. Its a real attap house and most of it are all still wooden. It brought back memories of when I was a child and spending my school holidays at Pasir Panjang ... where my great grandmother use to live. It was a great experience.

The morning after ......... missed the morning train. ALL train tickets were sold out and so were the bus tickets. Her bro called up the bus station and reserved three tickets and he drove like even lives didn't matter that much. That was how fast he drove!! But he was an expert.

Got to the bus station just in the nick of time!! Wow!!

So we all manage to go home as planned! The minute I got back settled all our clothings and went straight back to my mum's.

The Moon

The Moon card suggests that my alter ego is the Magnetic One, whose superpower lies in my innate ability for reflection, and that of turning the tide.

Today I feel like a natural woman. I am a goddess that reflects the mystique and magnetism of women, rising above all boundaries. 'This too shall pass.' Shining brightly, I will overcome empty promises in the dark and dangerous liaisons.

Enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the drama when your forces of attraction are at their strongest.

Life Paints a Picture

All toooo soon. I am missing people I use to be with. Hating myself. Thinking why?? Why can I NEVER think or take heed to warnings...... I think I know that answer .... Its because I love my now, my present moment. For that what the future of REALITY might hold got lost in thought of fantasy.

For now a mask I will wear and show for that is what that is to be expected of me.

Missing the Princess that she once was. I guess life itself has taken toll on all of us. I think the key here is to adapt to the changes and be happy for the littlest things in life. Sometimes ... I just want to get lost in the forest and stay a hermit. Hhhhhmmm sounds good.

Everyone's life is a picture,
Painted by only one person,

Life itself.
The picture shows everything you're doing,

And everything you have done.
But sometimes, Life gets tired.

And doesn't want to paint a picture.
So, Life sends problems to stop you,

If you give up, your picture is finished.
If you keep going, so does your picture.

So the question is:
How soon do you want to see your picture?

Do you want to see it now?
When it could be so much more?

Or later, when there's so much more than before?
It's your choice,

I'll keep going.

My Mask

I hide behind a mask
You can't see my face
Looking at first glance
I'm in a happy place
The truth is, that's a lie
But you can't really tell
that in the back of my mind
I think the world should rot in hell
What's the point of living
If we are all going to die
What's the point of being happy
If in the end we're going to cry
But this is something no one sees
This is something no one knows
And yet deep inside of me
This feeling of hatred grows
So even though this mask reveals a happy side of me,
I use the mask as a shield to look at what others can never see.

What LOVE Means

WHAT LOVE MEANS

Touching words from the mouth of babes. What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet) .... this is my fave. We all have jealousy and common and normal hatred growing in us. So much so woe loose track of the main reasons. In the end - we just hate ourselves. And the big question of "WHY?", "WHY?", "WHY?", why must such things happen to me?? And the answer just get thrown back straight at me.

Yup, we should have more Nikka in this world ..... it would be peaceful!!

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissy - age 6

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7

'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss'
Emily - age 8

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'
Tommy - age 6

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8

'My mommy loves me more than anybody, You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'
Clare - age 6

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
Elaine-age 5

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'
Chris - age 7

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day'
Mary Ann - age 4

'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'
Lauren - age 4

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)
Karen - age 7

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'
Mark - age 6

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

Bless all of my friends in whatever it is you may be needing this day! And may your lives be full of peace, prosperity, and most of all LOVE.

The World Never Forgets

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken and for the German people from the surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this he said, in words to this effect; "Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some ******* will get up and say that this never happened.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke IN MEMORIAL This week, the UK removed the Holocaust from it's school curriculum because it "offended" the Muslim population because they say it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easy each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years since the 2nd. World War in Europe ended.

Six of Chalices

The Six of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in self-consciousness. I am not alone.

It's not too late to make a fresh start or to pursue my hearts desire. The fountain of my youth or my Holy Grail is revealed in the simple pleasures and gestures that are unaware of their own beauty, connection, and power.

I am empowered by nostalgia or past perceptions and my gift is rejuvenation.

The 4 DON'Ts When Sleeping

A man can go two weeks without eating. But if he
doesn't rest at all, he can only survive for one week.

Sleeping provides us the time to rest our
internal organs, eyes and brains. Poor sleep

quality can cause internal damage to our internal
organs and brains.
Therefore, sleeping is very important to us.

If you wish to have a long life
and stay healthy, please

take note of the advice below.


4 DON'TS when you are sleeping...



DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity.

Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed
for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.



DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA

Scientists in America have discovered those that
wear bras for more than 12
hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer.

So go to bed without it.


DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE

Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near
you is not encouraged.
Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks,

but please put the phone
as far as possible. Scientists have proved that

electrical items including
mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves
when used. These waves

can cause disruptions to our nervous system.
Therefore if you need to put
your mobile phone near you, switch it off first.



DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP

People who sleep with make up might have skin
problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have

difficulty in breathing
and problem in perspiring You will also need a much

longer time to go into deep sleep.

R and R at Mama's - 22/11/07 till 25/11/07

Since its been awhile that I've not gone to Mama's house. I thought I'd make it an effort this time to go. So I left on Fri and came back on Sun.

Wow!! It a REAL ..... REST and RELLLLLLLAAAAXXXXX all I did was to catch up on my sleep, sleep and more sleep! Offcourse I also veg infront of the telly.

We had breakfast together catch up on all the old and new news. It felt great to just bond.

I slept in the room downstairs as always, whereby the bathroom and kitchen is a stone's throw. Ha ha. But that helps though. Since my handphone was down that just means no communication!! Well, I just don't want to impose on my dad and mama. The good thing about no communication is that you don't have to think much. Nothing matters. ...

So Sunday came too soon. But a short rest was all I needed. It really felt great.

Mama took me back to LP and I stayed up watching CSI, CSI and CSI by the late night .... I went back to BR.

Oh, how I miss my princess.

Severely Stricken by Grief

Few adults ever listen to what their children have to say UNTILL its too late. Why?? Why is it soooooooo hard?? I don't get it??

You are my child so YOU MUST RESPECT ME!!

Child's reply (only under their breath) would be .... I WILL respect you because you tell me. But I'm not sincere because you MAKE ME like this ...... or something to that effect.

Sometimes the adults just hear but fail to listen and this brings about the lack of understanding their child. How can a child make the parents see their point of view?? When??

When they start disappearing?? When they start talking??

But have we ever asked ourselves why and look at our own actions?? Maybe its us and not THEM the children.

Respect is something one earns and not just being dished out because one has the rank to do so.
THAT IS THE WORSE KIND OF ALL THE BS THERE IS!!

Oh I so feel pity for you. I cry sometimes looking at the situation that you are in. You have a house but you do not have a home. That doesn't sound right. A home is your sanctuary, your paradise.

If one cannot see your view .......... how can you ever show them or make them understand??

How long can one be patient?? Everything has limits. Like a volcano about to erupt. It can only take a certain pressure. Courage you need. Courage you will have when the time approaches.

Remember dear, FEAR can ONLY keep you a prisoner. Hope can set you free. But to have hope is to find Courage.

Sometime to make a person see things YOU NEED TO BREAK THE FIRST RULE. As a last resort ONLY when one fails to listen to you. I feel sad and miserable and NO ONE can do anything if YOU don't do anything. We can only just observe and give our shoulder to cry on :((

Courage my dear .... courage. ok. Rest assured there are people around that love you and want to see the old bubbly you appear. Take care ok and remember that I'll always be here whenever you need. Though I sometimes may not be able to be physically there. .... oh well ... you know what I mean.

Love ya always.

Night Out with Princess

For the week that our "Ms Roberts" and her beau was not around .... we had a little bit more of peace than the usual ruckus when both were around.

One night when Hottie ain't around or rather could not make it. We played X-box. Dearest Princess had to show me all the moves. Ha ha, what else is new?? Showered and washed up and we had a late dinner. Reminisce the past and the good old days at Woodies. We were in casual shorts and t-shirts.

After dinner princess was talking about the placess she recced in the vicinity with Hottie and wanted to show it to me. Wow!! I went wild and was delighted since its been quite awhile that I've gone out with Princess. Ok so its not a "proper" outing ..... but half a loaf is better than none.

We went walked and walked to even places I never knew existed!! Actually we were searching for a place with "fairy lights", where one can sit and just enjoy the ambience. Sadly we could not find the place .... don't exactly know why. Perhaps we got lost or missed a turn or something.

Neither of us could believe the distance we walked in OUR CASUALS AT THAT!!

Oh well, it was a good day in all. We slept late after watching reruns of Lord of the Rings. I can never get sick of ever watching that!

We both prayed for more brighter tomorrows.....

Night Market Outing

One day in October if my memory serves me right .....

Waited for Luisi and the kids at mum's house. As the kids were promised rides on carousel and toy trains and such. So THEY are the ones that were looking forward to it more than US adults who were just looking forward to the array of food and snacks that they have.

Zan had a go at me for buying the kids some drinks. Hey gal, that was not necessary .... at least not in public anyways!! I may not have money to spend a whole lot but .... one or two bucks for drinks .... I think I can spare that.

We got loads of food. The kids enjoyed themselves tremendously as I video taped their funny acions and candid shots. (its on my imeem.com site)

As usual the spread of food did whet our appetite. But since it was impossible to get EVERY SINGLE one of them. We had to pick and choose. By the time e got home .... we dug in with what food we had while the kids played to their heart's content. Till one of them wail as it always happen when there is too much laughter.

Once the kids showered they each went home to their humble abode. Darian slept over at mum's with me. It was fun playing with the kids. I was missing that a great deal.

Time Passes By

I know I've promised to update ..... BUT :) .......... as days passes me by the dates and time have forgotten and only the memorable events stay on my mind. So do forgive me if the tales are not in order.

Those who are present would know when ....... and yet you are the SAME very ones that asked me for updates ..... apa lah u! :)

That was meant as a pun ok.
