As the name suggests, your rating should be measured by the success rate of connecting the singles.
But what can you folk do if they prefer to be single than connecting

The one who has a good friend,doesn't need any mirror

The old fellas had a hard life here before we were dragged into the 21st century.

I want to write a poem
But I'm not sure if I should
It's about the process of aging
And the effects which are not so good

Anyway, here I go and
No matter what you may think
The time will come when
Your health will not be in the pink

Your skin will start to sag
And wrinkles will appear
It's a natural process
One which you should not fear

Your body joints which once had
A lot of flexibility
Will begin to tighten up
And cause you pain and anxiety

Your ability to focus
And to multi-task
Will weaken as you age
And become a thing of the past

You may find yourself asking
Did I do that or not?
For your sake I hope
That does not happen a lot

Some folks reading this may say
Such things will not happen to me
In response I say to you as you age
Let us just wait and see

Been back in Omaha for 11 days now but I am still suffering from jet-lag. Thankfully, I don’t need to get back to work and my Spring classes at the Community College only start on the second week of March.

I left for KL airport on the early morning of Feb 9th, around 4am. Flight to Narita airport ( first leg of my journey ) was delayed for almost an hour and a half and because of that, I had to run to catch my connecting flight to Houston! Had a 5-hr layover in Houston and it was almost 10pm when
I got into Omaha and 11pm when I finally got home.

Had one of the best Mexican food the following night.

I know Chinese New Year 2023 was officially over on Feb 5th but I had promised my Malaysian friends here in Omaha that I’ll have small get-together once I’m back from my Malaysian trip.

As promised, I made the ‘Prosperity Toss’ for my friends. Not too shabby for first attempt.

Was invited to a CNY party while I was in my hometown. A ‘Prosperity Toss’ with a twist, not your usual Yu-sheng.

1.Bunga kantan or known as torch ginger flower
2.Green mango
3.Pink guava
4.Cucumber
5.Unripened papaya
6.Pineapple
Middle: Mint leaves

My daughter and I had one too over at my mom’s place on Chinese New Year’s reunion dinner.

Another one on the second day of CNY. Just like the one at my mom’s, this was store-bought too. This was at my ex-husband’s aunt’s house. She’s a Malaysian-Indian but thought it was fun to celebrate CNY with me since she hadn’t seen me ever since I left for the States.

Apart from the ‘Prosperity Toss’, I made nasi lemak ( our Malaysian national dish ) too for my friends. I brought back half a kilo ( I bought 2 kilos but had to leave the rest behind coz my 2 big luggages was filled to the brim!! ) of dried anchovies and deep-fried them and my friends went crazy! Lol Art hated the smell of the anchovies that permeated through the whole house ( basement too! ) when I deep-fried them and I told my friends they better appreciate my efforts coz them darn anchovies nearly cost me my marriage!

My friend posted our get-together on her FB page. ‘Kecoh’ means noisy, fuss, excitement or all that into one! Lol It’s true, when we Malaysian women get together, there’d be non-stop talking, eating and laughter, Art always describes us as cackling hens!

Well, I’m looking forward to my next adventure, an European adventure perhaps?

Spring ready, both Art and MiMi!!

P.S: Art says, “Silly goose, Spring still a long way off!”

Yesterday, I did some laundry. I lightened the load in my basket by washing my whites, as well as some towels, bed linens and floor mats. There was an abundance of white - tops, a sweater, a dress, vests and undies. I like wearing white.

It is pleasantly surprising the various positive perceptions that theorists have of the colour White. Whilst I have known about some of these, intuitively, the descriptions I collected during a recent Google search seem to be justifications for why I feel the way that I do about the colour white.

“White represents the crisp cotton of just-washed linens and spring cleaning. The colour white is a representation of purity, unadulterated truth.”

“A preference for 'white' colour shows innocence. White reflects all other colours. It embraces innocence, peace, virginity, solemn, hope, purity, kindness, consideration, patience, simplicity spirituality, soothing, simplicity and Idealism.”

“This primary colour traditionally symbolizes innocence, peace, and cleanliness. In Western cultures, the colour white also represents purity and virginity, while it symbolizes mourning in some East Asian cultures.”

“Research shows that white spaces have a positive effect on mood and energy. White spaces are known to help you experience restfulness, airiness, calm and joy. In colour psychology, white generates a sense of purity, balance and harmony.”

“White color is associated with calm and serene. The purest of all colors, the white, holds clarity, freshness, simplicity and being organized in its traits. People who love white color are often seen to be calm, balanced, fearless, optimist, independent and have a strong opinion.”

“What is white personality? The white core personality are peaceful people, logical thinkers and none-controlling. "Everything comes to he who waits." White Positives: are diplomatic, easily agreeable and accommodating with an even-tempered personality.”

I enjoy looking at and wearing colourful items too, but I wear whites most often, most days of the week. Aside from the obvious visual effect of white against my skin, wearing lingerie, blouses and dresses in white (especially lace, cotton and or silk) makes me feel clean, cool, relaxed and classically fashionable. I can easily pair it with anything, in any colour, and it’s so versatile that it looks great on anyone, regardless.

Apart from that, based upon the assertion by psychologists, I seem to be a ‘white personality’ type, which partially explains why I have always aspired to be a peaceful, optimistic, independent and even-tempered person. I’m also organized, but can be unfriendly, indifferent and naïve (according to yet another search result). Overall, the revelations have boosted my mood, as well as my resolve to keep buying and surrounding myself in/with even more items of ‘white’.

So, what about you? What’s your preference? Are you a red or a yellow personality? Or perhaps some other?

The... Honest people are kind hearted people they won't think bad for others.

“Honesty is important because it creates peace of mind and promotes relationships of trust.

The benefits of honesty extend to personal health, relationships and society at large. The opposite, lying, leads to distrust, conflict, corruption and anxiety.”.

I am not a Saint. At all. I just haven’t been convinced yet that i should lie…

I'm not ashamed of myself for anything. Nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide and nothing to lie about.

what about white lies?

white lie.... helps. why
because.... i cannot
say....

“I don't care about other people's feelings, if they can't take the truth, that's their problem.”


The thing is, people's feelings DO MATTER. Caring about other people's feelings is called compassion. Having compassion for others is a good quality. None of us live in a vacuum. We live in a community, we deal with people every day. In order to make this community work, we all need to be considerate. We all need to learn when to keep our mouth shut, when what we say doesn't help the situation and only hurts people.

Not caring about other people's feelings doesn't make you “cool", doesn't make you “independent" or “smart". It makes you a nonsense.

Time and time again, scientists have proven that given the opportunity to cheat, people will do it. Dan Ariely has studied this phenomenon extensively and concluded over and over again… people cheat all the time, but just a little.

Alcohol breaks down people’s inhibitions. They say and do things they would not otherwise do. So it is not unusual for a person to get drunk and verbalize thoughts that would have gone unspoken otherwise. Some people drink on purpose in order to create this effect, especially if they want to confess love to someone or say something else they are afraid to say. In this circumstance they often refer to the drink as “liquid courage.”

There could be many reasons why you don't travel as much these days. Some common reasons include:

Cost: Travel can be expensive and you might not have the budget for it.

Time: You might be busy with work, family, or other commitments.

Health: If you or someone you care about is not feeling well, traveling might not be possible.

Safety concerns: The COVID-19 pandemic has made travel more difficult and unpredictable, and you might be more cautious about traveling for safety reasons.

Lack of interest: Traveling might not be a priority for you at the moment, and you might prefer to stay at home and enjoy your free time in other ways.

It's important to remember that everyone's travel preferences and habits are different, and there's no right or wrong way to enjoy your time off.
