TRUE CONFESSIONS

Menu of the day by me  Since becoming a Red Zone again, most of us bring our own home cook food to the office for lunch. Three of us plan a lunch get together so we come out with our menu.  I was assigned with ' village veggies ' or ' sayur kampung '.    My friend mentioned two types which is tapioca leaves or fern. So, i went to the market after work and look around. There is tapioca leaves and fern but i choose tapioca leaves.  Instead of only one menu, i end up preparing two type of veggies for our lunch today.  Menu 1: Tapioca leaves + wild ginger young shoot ( tepus ) + chicken meat Menu 2: Scallion leaves + torch ginger flower + anchovies + red chilies  Yummeh to my tummy!!

With the doctor helps, i know what is my actual problems.  I hope that i have enough strength to overcome this.  With God nothing is impossible.  I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me   - Philippians 4:13.

Photo Credit to parents-are-people-too.com Its been a while I am reading this book, Healing wounded relationships by Martin H. Padovani. This is my second time re-read this book. I would like to share this sub-chapter which I find it is difficult to put into action or practice.  Why people slow to forgive themselves? An element of self-hatred, anger, or disappointment with oneself for having done wrong. Perfectionism. It is a disease that posits an unrealistic expectations to realistic expectations. A sense of false pride or conceit, and an inflated sense of self, which considers oneself beyond failure and sin.  An erroneous belief that self-forgiveness too easily removes the consequences of one's misbehaviour and even condones that behaviour. The difficulty in accepting forgiveness and especially self-forgiveness. Being overwhelmed by or stuck in guilt and shame. Forgiving oneself doesn't mean we can forget what we have done. The memories will continue to be with us. Those me...

  As promised, this is my rescued dog, Spotty! He has unique characters which I still have to discover every day. He loves eating fish compare to chicken. So I can describe him as a  pescatarian.  A pescatarian is someone who doesn't eat meat but does eat fish. The term pescatarian was coined in the early 1990s and is a combination of the Italian word for fish, “pesce,” and the word “vegetarian.” Sometimes it's spelt “pescetarian,” but this means the same thing. He was rescued from a coffee shop. According to the coffee shop owner and people around the area, he was abandoned by its previous owner. The owner moved from their rented house at the housing behind the coffee shop. Since then, he roaming around the area to get shelter and food.  Am I happy having him around? Well, I admit it was a challenge to keep him stay put for the first two weeks. The insecurity and trauma from being abandon are still with him. He requires special attention and affection from me which ...

Photo Credit to Google Images I have this one bad habit since high school. PROCRASTINATION. I am sure it has been triggered somewhere along with my growing up. I think one of the causes of this bad habit is because when I stuck in with my homework on a specific subject. Whenever I try to find the answer and I am at the dead end. So, instead of finding another initiative, I will wait until the very last minute.  I am aware of this habit. Over these years I did try my best to overcome it. However, at my current workplace with more work and responsibilities, I am overwhelmed. I see a long list of work to be completed. I will complete an easy task on time, but when I am stuck with more complicated assignments, I start to procrastinate again. To make it worst, I failed to deliver some of my work now. My performance is somewhat getting bad now. I know I have to do something about this bad habit.     I decided to install some HABIT LIST or GOAL TRACKER apps on my phone and ...

Every month we will have a date like this with all sort of online sales and promotions is happening. I used to love doing online shopping clothing and electronic such as laptop etc. However, these past years I did not do any online shopping because last time I bought two dresses which are too small and it is not as what I saw on the website. Two days ago I was thinking about buying an Air Purifier for my house. I did not feel well these past weeks and suspected the air in my house is not clean anymore. I have two furkids at home and I let them roaming inside the house too. I used to have asthma and sinusitis which makes me very sensitive to dust and of course the fur from these two. However, I still think about getting the Air Purifier to ensure the air I breathe in the house is clean. Any suggestions for affordable but worth buying Air Purifier?    

In mid-August, I adopted a dog from the Kopitiam. Or I should say, we rescued him from a Kopitiam? With help from one of the S.O.S Kuching, we managed to lure him into the cage and bring him straight to the vet clinic at Jalan Tabuan. He is still a puppy almost a year old. It took me about two weeks to get him familiar with me. I will visit him at the Kopitiam after work trying to feed him and pat him. The amazing thing is he connects with me straight away. When he starts to show submissive behaviour at the end of the second week, my friend decides to try to catch him. So, our rescue was successful.  Honestly, my experience since the day he enters my house is full of drama. It still going on until today. He is a drama king! I create an Instagram profile for him so that I can share his development. If you are interested to know how my furry buddy looks like, visit his IG @stray_story. I will share more of his story in future post.         

I thought it is over for us here in Sarawak since we are doing well for the past few months. However, as our neighbour, Sabah struggling with the spike cases every day after the state election on 26 September 2020, we seem to be at ease. I must admit that I put my guard down too since I started to hang out with friends more frequent than before. I treat my daily life as it was before the covid-19 strike in March.  Things changed after about two weeks ago when we also faced the third wave of this pandemic. One after another new cluster emerges in our city of Kuching. As of yesterday, Kuching recorded 147 active cases in Kuching after it was a Green Zone for a while. With that new number, we also declared as Red Zone. Thus, the Conditional Movement Control Order also applies for Kuching District started from today until 22 November 2020.  In our office, we will start working in rotation with 50% capacity in the office. Work from home will be a struggle for some because of other ...
