The universal law is to be happy, and you will attract happiness. So, if you are angry, you will attract angry people around you. If you feel sad, you will be more sad, as negative feelings attract negative feelings.
Every morning I end my prayer by saying "Protect me from all harm and evils. And may I be surrounded by good friends and good vibes". I put a smile on my face, and walk out boldly and with confidence to wherever I want to go.
I am now trying to still my mind, and live for now. Still trying, have not succeed yet.
Well, be happy and contended.

Pasar Malam
I always look forward to Thursday's night. My friend and I will go to pasar malam on Thursday night. We will buy fruits and vegetables for one week's supply. Occassionally we will have a bowl of soup mee or tau foo fa.
After that we both attend a dance class near the pasar malam. We shall be dancing from 8.30 p.m to 9.30 p.m. We are both crazy as we love dancing and treat it as a form of exercise and also to sharpen our memory. My friend will send me home. It is fun to have friends of the same interest, and not calculative. I only keep a few good friends. They are hard to find and rare.

Breakfast
Formerly for breakfast, my favourite drink is tea with a little bit of coffee for colouring together with coffee mate and skim milk. Ever since I have gloucoma, I cut down on coffee and tea, as they said coffee will increase the pressure in the eye.
Now, I invent my own drink for health purpose. One tablespoon of almond powder, one tablespoon of oat together with coffee mate mix with skim milk, mix everything in a big cup. This drink is very filling and you won't feel hungry even during lunch hour.
I store all my favourite garlic and onion bread in the freezer. While boiling water, I take them out to thaw. I use lime honey for my bread spread together with olive oil spread. Of ocurse, I also take a piece of light cheese with my bread.
Prior to breakfast is my favourite fresh orange juice with a tablet of Redoxon orange effervescent with vitamin C and zinc to build up resistant against cough and flu.
For the rest of the day I eat more vegetables and end the day with fruits at night. I believe in eating good food to build up a strong body.

Dancing
I got another vice, I love dancing as I treat it as a form of exercise to my body and also activate my brain, as we have to remember all the sequence and dance steps of any dance.
Of course, when I first started dancing, it was really tough. I am so blur that although lesson is once a week, I can't remember what was taught last week. Only after sometime, did my brain register the steps. The funny thing is there is not even a man in the class. All the tall ladies are dancing man's part with their own girl friends. I am also dancing the man's step as you are never short of partners, as most of the girls want to dance girls part.
I enjoy my lesson very much especially if your partner is equally as good as you. I made many friends, and once in awhile we go out for dinner and dance at some old ladies club.

Singing
I love singing and I have been to so many teachers. None of them is good except my present teacher. Singing is indeed a tedious and expensive hobby and it is a long road to travel. But once you are hooked, you won't stop. I will never stop and I will sing till my last breath.
I don't mind spending money on singing as I don't travel. I see so many people singing for so long, and yet they don't want to go under a teacher. If you don't spend money, how can you acquire the techniques. Once you acquire the techniques, they are yours forever and no one can take it away from you. Knowledge is indeed very important.
I remembered once a teacher told me that you can sing for 10 years, but if you don't learn under a teacher, your standard of singing is still the same after 10 years. I had seen people singing every week, the standard is still the same, as they lack the knowledge of holding or sustaining the air while singing. It is such a pity.
I am not good or a born singer, but I have perserverance and patient. I learn and learn and learn. Once a week, my teacher will nag or scold me for one hour. After that I have to pay him school fees. But it is worth it, as I dare say I can now sing with confidence. Once a DJ remarked that my teacher must be very good to be able to teach me to sing so well. Mind you, he is not praising me, but praising my teacher instead!
Singing is a good form of exercise, as you exercise your lung. And further, it makes you happy.
No matter how stupid you are, you can still sing one day if you give it a try. As I am the testimony of one who is stone deaf and can't read Mandarin words. Initially, I really suffer and struggle. After giving out so many efforts, I am now reaping the harvest. Yet, I am not satisfied, I will continue learning for another year or so.

scrap goat
I have to get this off my chest. Otherwise I feel so pent up. My grandaughter of 7 years old need spectacles. Being the parents, you allow your child to watch cartoon in front of the TV for hours, while you do housework. Well, eventually she need spectacles. Well, please take some blame for this.
But no, they suddently remembered that I had been looking after their child for about three months while she is four years old. At that time, she used to drink milk from the milk bottle while lying down on the sofa in front of the TV. They maintained that she might had spoil her eyes while watching TV lying down. And so, it is my fault that she has to wear spectacles now.
However, my daughter maintained that it must be the gene, as she had read so many books and yet her eye sight is still good. She had been through Form Six, three years university in Perth, and now just completed her Montessori part-time course.
I have nothing to say. It is also partly my fault too, as I have been buying all those Barbie Doll cartoon for her.
Life is indeed completed. When things are not right, you get the blame. Living alone is indeed bliss. No complication. You just live to please yourself.

Dining out
Just had dinner with my daughter and her family of two girls, age 7 and 4 together with her husband. It is her belated birthday dinner, and I bought a box of walnut carrot cake for her.
I have yet to try the cake myself. Next time, I will give myself a treat.
They were complaining why do I have to shift so far away. Why don't I stay closer to them. My dear, even though I am far or near, they have no time to visit me. When they were staying with me last time, not much affection were shown. Now, maybe absent makes the heart grow fonder. I prefer it this way, rather than staying together and finding faults with each other. When we stay apart, and once in a while when we meet, we feel as if we love each other so much!!!!
Two people read my blog and they said I did a good job. No problem, as I read a lot of story books in school days, so when I blog, I just blah, blah, blah away without any effort.
Also attended a dance class just now. I treat it as a form of exercise. I don't want to be a couch potato. My partner of the same sex, sent me home in time for my dinner with my daughter.
