The Buttock

Since I was blogging on "Butt Tales" a day ago, I think it's nice to share this.  Got it in my mailbox this morning.  Enjoy !

The Buttock

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burnt.
The doc told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny.



So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttock.



The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from and they requested that the doctor also honour their secret.



After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face.  He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty!



One day, he was alone with his wife and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice.



He said, 'Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?'



'My darling,' she replied, 'I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.

Seeing is Believing

Double vision ?

I see doubles.

I strained my eyes due to too much readings

And you ?

Don't tell me your eye sights are blur too ?

Gotcha.

Eye strain occurs when we over-use our eye muscles. The muscles that were held in one position for too long tend to get strained. 

Like my case, I had been studying reading too much the past days.  The fragile eyes muscles have over-worked as I concentrate on the reading task in long duration.  Moreover, my eyes had just recovered from a terrible conjuctivitis.  My inner eye muscles got tighten up causing me some discomfort.  It irritates my vision and they're feeling rather dry and uncomfortable now.

Am trying this simple remedy.

First, close my eyes... Shutting them for a few minutes will refocus them and ease the strain.

Second, blink a lot. Each blink soothes and moistens the eyes and eases tight eye muscles.

Third, use artificial tears. Eyes tend to get dry when they're strained and dryness can cause eyestrain. Next to blinking, artificial tears are the easiest way to remoisten eyes and ease strains. (Eye-Mo)

However, I tried to avoid using chemicals @ artificial solutions.  Think that's not a wise action. 

I give my eyes a chance to refocus, once or twice an hour, take a five-minute break from reading.  I took a breather at the nearby playground field.  By looking at the greens willl soothe my eyes muscles.  And  it works.  BINGO.

Am hitting the sack now..... after having done a thorough reading of another few chapters of my HBME 3103 module~Pendidikan Moral Tahun 4....hmmm... lots of theories, need to remember a lot of facts.  Tomorrow..opps..I mean later today, I'll proceed to another module HBEL 3103 ~Writing and teaching of Writing which is also full of theories.   So much to remember....wonder how do all of them fit into my 120GB b-Pod (brain-Pod) ?

Even the highest storage iPod available is a 120 GB iPod which able to hold up to 30K songs, 150 hours of video or 25K photos.  No bad already...since my b-Pod is equivalent to that amount.  hahhh

Another post of rubbish.  In the coming few days, this blog will be overflowed with rubbish post.  Need to post rubish in order to de-stress !  So bear with me. 

                                

Butt Tales

Female readers

Which butt do you prefer ?

Male readers
Which butt arouse your libido ?




Haha...I wish my exam questions would sound like this...!

The Swim Suit Story

Talking about "swim suit blues" ......everyone knows what I mean.

• Big butt exposure.
• Overhanging flab.
• Unsightly varicose veins.
• Bulging tummy
• Sagging breast

I've heard the tales of this woman who said she hated wearing a bathing suit in public so much that she built a swimming in her home compound. Another is still haunted by the memory of a photo taken of her lounging in a beach chair, her thighs filling the lower half of the picture. 

I was at the 'water theme park' yesterday.  And I observed the surroundings....not a single sight of obese ladies parading in bikini.... I salute the brave ones who have the guts to catwalk along the pool side in their swim suits. 

Am I experiencing some kind of inferiority complex .....self conscious about my body statistic ?  Am too worry about the embarrassment I would I get if I wear a swim suit.  Hey....what happened to the confident Ann ?  What has gone wrong ?  Examination tension ah ?   

Feedback Please

Your feedback makes this blog grows.

Thank You.

Splashing Moments

Nice weather on a Saturday evening. My boy is feeling agitated due to boredom. And me bloated with stress ! What to do...Need a break, need a breather, need to rid this mad mad world. 

Shrieking on top of our lungs..." WE WANNA A BREATHER !" (lame excuse for me to escape from my current hmmmm...revision

Boy.."Get out from home ! "
Me...."Away from my books !"

Both looking forward for a change from the norm...
SIMILAR THOUGHTS IN MIND ONLY DIFFER NEEDS

Idea...idea...idea...

Brought my boy and nephews to the local Municipal Theme Park near home. Let the kids have a splashing time. RM1 per entry. You may ask about the quality of the place @ a public pool. All I can say ....it's well maintained (kudos to the present Government..Thumbs-up to YAB Mr. Lim G.E).


The boys had a splendid time in the water. Diving, sliding, chasing each other. Reflected in their laughter and screams. Almost two hours of fun. Meanwhile, I found a shady corner and laid my bum on the wooden bench. Managed to read a chapter of my module but how much absorption....haha..can't tell. Subjected to my brain capability ! But at least I read something...felt secured a lil bit knowingly I did not ignore my revision.  Different environment creates wonders...!  Mood also changed.  haha...

Took a stroll along the jogging track nearby.  The foot reflexology path made of little pebbles stones of vary sizes was beneficial to release stress.  Removed my sandals, placed my feet on the surface@ thick, flat, rounded, sharp and thin.  I walked rather slowly paying attention to the sharp-edged pebbles.  As I paced up the speed, I felt a strong stimulation to my feet...a massaging sensation of sort and painful at times.  One moment, I felt ticklish when it hit the sensitive part.  Haha...my G-Spot !  Opps...excuse me for that language !

Ooo..ahh...oh...oh...the sounds of me moaning as the pebbles arouse my feet...the pleasure I felt despite the pain.  Ouch...  I continued to walk a few rounds till I was fully satisfied.  Exploded with a bang....the feelings of completeness.   

Hey.. over-statement of exaggeration !  Baru ada ommph..!   

On another story...

Swimming is essentially a good form of exercise.

Flashback to my younger days, I used to be an avid swimmer in college. Was actively involved in swimming events (inter-college competition....no intention of blowing my own trumpet). However..that was more than a decade ago. In my 20s, young energetic, slim and pretty. Those were days where my body would fit in just any swim suit..any fashion and even two piece.

BUT...today...sigh ! Wonder if I could make heads turn if I were to parade down the aisle in my swimming costume ? Maybe yes...as this aunty hasn't changed much...still 'maintained' except for a lil unsightly bulge exposed from the middle.. Those wrinkles and fine lines are merely assessorial that comes with age. The beauty comes from within…. Hmmmmm...look who's talking ?


Will attempt to get wet in the pool one of these days (probably after my exams). Need some exercise to burn out the extra calories. Swimming is an ideal choice.

There you are..”Aunty in bikini”.

Need a breather

It's overwhelming to just go on reading and reading my modules....so SICK & FED UP.   Sign of anxiety and tension.  Hah...am too stubborn to admit it....hard to move the strong female ego in me..hah !  The edging pain at the lil corner of my head...a symptom of stress la.

Desperately needed a break....before I go cuckoo and collapse.   The stress is simply bugging me...too much. It's wrapping me so damn tight...I can't breathe..oh !

Do I have to reveal to the entire world my exams' blue so explicitly ?  What am I up to ?  Nothing ..to begin with.  Well...the initial tone of this post might sounded rather intensed as they are engulfed with my annoyance of being grounded at home, doing something I despite so much..READING my modules !  Many a times, I've mentioned, this blog is also my 'punching bag'.  Felt better everytime I regurgitate my worries here in spite of whether there's any one reading it.  I don't care about what I write as long as I don't keep them inside.  I prefer to clear the blockage inside me.  My heart, mind and soul opposed to claustrophobic nature. It's better to blow up instead of succumbing to my own   I N J U   W O R  R I E S .  Right ?

Hmmmmmm.... another post of rubbish.  Excuse me.

Building Relationship

A firm bond between mother and child affects reactions later in life. It reflects how well children do in school, how they build relationships with friends and how well they react to stressful or new situations.

Therefore, I decided that now is the time to develop a better bonding with my child. I personally feel that this special bond will further boosts his self-esteem.  Performing simple household chores together may strengthen the maternal bond with the child.  For instance....cooking session will definitely enhance our relationship.  Washing the car...may be another option.  Doing the dishes or laundry...maybe. 

What say you ?

Bonding thru cooking

I had read this somewhere..."When the the umbilical cord is cut, the physical attachment between mother-child cease amicably.  This is when physical and emotional attachments begin."

Make sense !   Maternal or paternal bonding with their offsprings is important.

It's a norm for parents to take their children for holidays as they thought by doing so would make the kids happy.  With the hope that the happiness feelings would establish the closeness between them.
However, did the children enjoy the the trip ?  Have the adults ever reflect on this point ?  Sight-seeing, shopping, food tasting are usually part of the holiday's itinery.  Do the kids really like such activities? Do they fancy travelling long distance, bunking in hotels...?  Have we ever ask the children what they want ?

I believe, to enhance the mother-child bonding need not necessarily be done exclusively outside home. Even at home, there can be some form of activity which enabling closeness. 

In a way, am supporting this idea, because I can't afford to take my boy for a holiday at present ~reasons my other commitments (my uni exams), lack of time, and financially not feasible.  Hey... no intentions what so-ever of seeking sympathy in this post...ok !

Bonding begins at home.  Thus, I decided to conduct a cooking session with my boy today. A partnership venture in the kitchen....producing....."Ann`licious Herbal Tea Eggs".

For a change.....Today's post is conducted in a pictorial form.  Enjoy !


The smiling chef .....ready to start.

Here are the ingredients. A dozen of eggs @Kampung eggs, dark soy sauce, brown sugar and a sachet of Herbal tea leaves (available at most chinese medicinal shop).
First, prepare the hard boiled eggs.

Carefully crack the eggs , remove the shells.

Put all the ingredients and eggs into the slow cooker. Let it simmer for 3 hours. Best leave it to cook over night at low heat.

Serve while hot.
Mission accomplished. His smile reflects happiness.

My boy enjoyed the bonding session with me.  Allowing him the cook the recipe hands-on.  This would boost his confidence as subconciously he would be proud of his ability cooking a dish by himself. An achievement....he could store in his memories and share them with his friends later.

Any comments dear readers..?

Love them unconditionally

Take time today to hug and be with your children

let them know we love them.

Reading vs Computer

Lately, my boy has been spending too much time in front of the computer. Am worry on the effect to his eye sight. Moreover, the computer games ain’t gonna help him develop his creative and critical thinking skills. I have to put a halt to it before it became a habit. Decided to instill the reading interest in him. But how..?

I know I want my boy to love reading because reading is such an important part of education and more importantly ~ learning.

I surfed the net and got this info."Make reading as part of a daily routine.'.....hmmm
I guess this would mean that I must start off as a role model. Have got to proof to him that reading is an interesting past time.
Read together ! Am actually reading every now and then....but mostly for academic purposes @ my revision for uni exams.

I’ve already set up a mini library at home for him since his pre schools days. I even read him bedtime stories every other night when he was younger. He does read a reasonable number of books then. But unfortunately, when he moves to Primary 1, he was more tied up with his school work, tuition to brush up his mandarin. Thus his began to read less leisurely.

Time was pretty limited for him as he spends his morning at the child care centre before the bus drops him off at school. When he returns usually late evening, he has to rush through dinner.... for his tuition classes. The weekends are not spare, he has to attend his music lessons and others. There isn’t much time left for him to really commit himself to leisure reading. Perhaps that's the reasons behind the lacking of reading.
OMG…partly my mistake for providing intense pressure on him.
A scenario of a kiasu mum….am I ?

Recently, I allowed him some space to indulge in his own interest since it's school holiday. He has more time for himself owing to his reduced tuition classes. I gave him the freedom to use the computer at any time he desires. As a result, he’s always on the PC all day as though there’s no sun rise and sun set. Partly because I was confined to home @ conjunctivitis and I could not take him out.

Today, I realize my fault and decide to put a stop……but I need to do it in a proper manner.

Even though, my exams around the corner, still managed to squeeze some time to take him hiking @ Mengkuang Dam. It’s 'win-win situation….as I got to release tension by doing some workout and at the same time divert my boy’s attention away from the PC. And I have the opportunity to reconnect the bond with him.

After a refill of DimSum brunch, grocery shopping was the next agenda. I was actually planning to bring him to some bookshops but our attires weren't appropriate @ body odour !


My usual place....Tesco Extra.

Noticed there were cheap story books on sales. RM1 per unit. Some kind of Fable stories in Bahasa. Hinted that we need to upgrade our mini library at home. And he agreed. Suggest that he choose a few. Indirectly, I'm practicing some kind of reverse psychology on my child....as I've planned to instill reading habit.

Am not pushing him but simply giving him the choice, allowed him to decide. Noticed.. I didn't put any force. I want the interest of reading to emerge naturally and unconsciously. It won't work through nagging or by force. I believe I have done a great nurturing job today ! Agree ?

Although, the books were cheap, simple and of low quality but I think it's the starting point to instill the love for books. I need to trigger the switch somewhere and today I somehow found the button ! I began by investing on something cheap and gradually proceed from here. Bookshops and Public Library are our next destination.

In the meantime, I would still a let him to use the computer as I feel if the drastic stop will cause a rebel. Mind you, he's no longer a toddler. He’s already at the ‘Concrete operational stage’ according to Jean Piaget whereby he’s able to think rationally.


In the next few days, I shall introduce some educational sites instead of letting him continue with the video games. I’ll have to sit with him to guide him.

Any suggestions…dear readers..?

Maternal Bond

The weather was fine this morning...not humid, no rain..spells a perfect day for outing. I decided to take my boy to Mengkuang Dam for a stroll. Later of the day, we went shopping. It was indeed a tiring but meaningful day....as both of us enjoyed each other's company.

In a way, I wanted to improve the bonding between mother and child. The process of bonding can take hours, days, weeks or even months to develop. It is a gradually unfolding experience that occurs between mother and child.

More elaborations in my next post.

I love U.

Time flies and without me realising it's already the fifth day of the school holiday. Perhaps I was down with 'conjunctivitis' the past days and was confined to home ! Nevertheless, I was being treated like a Queen ......thanks to Im Ee, my Godma for the fabulous meals. Need to shed some pounds as my waistline has expended over the days. Any suggestion ?

Bidding farewell to CONJUNCTIVITIS. Finally, the ordeal has ended whereby my eyesight has return to normal..... No more double vison, teary eyes, discomfort and blury moments.

School holidays....year end break @ 6weeks...sounds nice and exciting.
Although, it's holiday nows but unfortunately we're unable to go anywhere as I need to prepare for my uni exams which begins on the 9th next month. However, I would still indulge in some mini shopping spree and jalan-jalan cari makan biz in between my exams days..... ! Need to reduce stress..la. Burying my nose in between the books all day long ...I'll surely go crazy.

My poor boy has to stay home accompany me the next few weeks until I finish my last paper in mid Dec. Loved him.....He's such an obedient child and seldom complains about his mum's busy schedule. He has never throw tantrums even though his demands are not fulfilled.
In the meantime, he's attending his intensive Mandarin classes as well as his violin lessons. Therefore, he also has his own activity to fill up his spare time. From time to time, I would drop him at his cousins' place so that he could interacts with his peers and enjoy their own kiddy moments.

Am planning to take him somewhere within Malaysia after my exams. Langkawi, Cameron or Singapore...has yet to make up our minds. I only have one week to take him out as I have to return to school for meetings...sigh ! Hmm...that's the price he needs to pay for having a working mum !

Holiday destination....any suggestions...?

Short holidays or none at all....well..that's the sacrifices I need to take when I decided to further my studies a year ago. Juggling school work, household chores, family with my uni studies spell... GREAT CHALLENGES. You see....my uni exams coincide with my school breaks. And weekends are often taken up for tutorials. Excluding the rush hour at home ...completing assignments and coursework research......

However, I knew that at the end of the day...there's a reward awaiting for me. Am expected to grad in 2011. Soon....

My 8 year old boy understood his mum predicament thoroughly. He's truly supportive over his mum's decision. Love him for being such an understanding child. That's the wonderful bonding between mother and son. The joy of having him...

I would like to dedicate today's post to my boy.

I do not want this to go unsaid,
I want it to be said in this poem.
There are no words to express how much you mean to me,
The hardship I gone through months before you were born,
A son like you, I thought could never be....

However...
The day you laid on my arms, I just knew,
Buddha has sent me a gift ~ you, my son
You're a true definition of a son, in everyway.
It is because of you that my life has meaning,
You has shown me a new sense of being.
You are the purpose of my life,
Out of everything I did- it was you that I did right.
Dear son....

You will always have a piece of my heart.

No one sees

Sometimes
when you cry.
no one sees your tears.

Sometimes
when you are in pain.
no one sees your hurt.

Sometimes
when you are worried
no one sees your stress

Sometimes.
when you are happy
no one sees your smile

But FART !! Just ONCE......
And everybody knows!!

Nice...Delicious ..XxXx

Don't you think she is enjoying it ? mmmmm

Ann's Maggi Noodle

Aunt Im Ee has gone home early this morning.....after 'babysitting' us for 4 days. Ya..she drowned us with exotic nyonya dishes which I never grew tired off. Stuffing my stomach with great food and now I've gained some extra kilos. Daren't step onto my weighing scale.....worry to see the needle pointing to.......

High time to do some jogging during the holidays.

For brunch today, I prepared something nice for both of us. Obviously not a healthy meal but something instant and easy. For convenient sake....Guess what...it's Ann's special menu..."The 2 minutes noodle". Maggi cepat dimasak sedap dimakan. This is ain't the normal mee that one cooks everytime.

I added lots of ingredients in it......ya whatever leftovers I could salvage from my fridge.

My boy is sure a picky eater so he had chicken soupy with an egg.

Meanwhile mine with extra ingredients of egg, sausages and cucumbers.

People normally cook instant noodles by putting them into a pot of boiling water, throwing in the seasonings and letting it cook for around 3 minutes. Thats when it’s ready to eat.

Note...That's the wrong way.

The noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.

Therefore, the correct Method to prepare Maggi mee is as the following.

1. Boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. Once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles. Discard the water which contains wax.
3. Boil another pot of water till boiling. Throw in all the vegetables (add on). Then put the noodles and then turn off the fire.
4. Only at this stage when the fire is off and while the water is still hot, put the ingredient of powder seasonings into the water to make noodle soup.
5. However, if you prefer dry noodles, drain dry the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Delicious maggi... feeling contented now! ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Lazy Ann

Eyes on the verge of recovering. The past days, vision was blur and teary. The usual reading task became a chore as the aphabets got overlapped. On top of that, I was in a 'drunken state' most of the time due to 'chlorpheniramine maleate'.
Slept most of the time and yet never felt enough. Practically eating and sleeping like a pig..day in day out. Nice food, no work...what else can I ask for..sleep la.
















Uni Exams merely three weeks away but I can't seems to concentrate......unable to focus my attention. Why...


Too busy in school...nope. Already completed most of my paperwork...anticipating the year end break which started yesterday.



Tied up with home affairs....nope. My household chores are under controlled. My son is performing well both academically and socially. He doesn't pose much problems to me.



Why....









I've found the answer. It lies in my self.....my attitute...the laziness in me...and I'm pretty fed up with studies. This semester's papers are pretty bored and tedious. Moreover, my lecturers didn't help much as their lectures were not interesting at all.











~~~~~~
On another story, am actually feeling rather disappointed that I couldn't join my school's staff to Pulau Aman later today for our "Team Building Get2gether" activity. Due to my 'Pinkeye Infection'.....Everyone is 'scared' of me...haha. And I'm outcast like an alien from outer space. Will have to wait for my colleagues to bring home stories and tales about this trip. What a bad timing to get "Conjunctivitis". Sigh.

MC again..

MC on the last day of school. Sigh. Everyone is 'scared' of me...ya..they're worried sick that my "pinkeye virus" would transmit to them...hahaha...sounds 'scarry' don't I ? hahahaha

Went back to the doc last afternoon to obtain another 'ticket of luxury' @ medical leave. She obliged to my request knowing perfectly well...this is a contagious disease.


My eyes are on the recovery stage. These are the medications that was prescribed to me.

Amoxicillin @ antibiotics
Prolase @ anti swelling
Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4mg @ reduce itchiness
Paracetamol Tablets 500mg @ pain killer
Chloramphenicol @ Eye Ointment
Sterile Nicol @ Eye drops

Yucks..how I hate swallowing bitter pills !

And this one causes the drowsiness in me as if I'm on Ecstasy and hallucinating ....

Worth to be sick..

The chance to savour Aunt Im Ee's great food....don't you think it's worth to fall sick some times ?

When those yummy dishes satisfied my tummy, I totally forgotten about the pain on my eyes. Such a wonderful pain killer....!






Im Ee's sambal petai worth mentioning over and again coz I could finish three bowls of rice with just it's gravy. The aroma...and the crispiness of the beans coated with sambal udang...really leave one mesmerising with saliva.






According to Wikipedia, Petai's scientific name is Parkia speciosa. This 'stink bean' is a plant of the genus Parkia Fabaceae family.

Petai has a rather peculiar smell which usually create a 'bomb' in the loo ! Not only that...the mouth, breath and gas...STINKS. Unmentionable.

When it goes in...SEDAP..TASTY but when it comes out...poison !!!!!!

Ha...today only brag about petai..petai...why happen to my eyes ya..! Almost forgotten about the pain. Ya..la with good food ...nothing holds a place in my mind. Reported back to school this morning. Had my sunglasses on the entire day. Attracted much attention from my students... Felt the discomfort of teary eyes emitting sticky mucus which causes blur vision ...and the pain.

Luckily, my students were coorperative...whereby they didn't make much noise during my lesson. Most of them are matured enough to indulge in their own activity like playing board games they brought from home and a handful bookworms burying their noses in between novels
and of course a few chatty one grouped together exchanging gossips at the back of the room. Hey..it's 2nd last day of school term.....

Tried to finish up whatever need to be done before year end. Actually I had managed to do whatever necessary ......final touch up.
