Moving On ....

.... to a new blog
where
no one knows
my name.

A fool such as I

Hello there.
Its been a long time since I last wrote.
Life events were different then
happier and more contented
that's what I thought.
but I discovered
I have been deluding myself.
Yesterday I took a nap after an emotional exhausting morn'
but was that the day before yesterday?
Pain has merge time.
I woke up and for the very 1st time I realized
my book of life had been changed
very many years ago.
A new book
my very own new unwritten book of life
had been tossed to me
by the person I walked down the aisle with some 33 years ago.

Type A personality.

A couple of days ago, I was taken aback when a colleague threw some crude verbal barrage at me.

It was most unexpected.

He is generally mild mannered and certainly will be sans “flavor” should anyone make candies out from him.

I do not know what set him off.

Could his blow up be related to the extra monetary benefits that I receive from the company?

He once shared with me the frustrations he faces at home.

Could it be that?

Or perhaps he feels resentful that at the age of 58 he works not out of financial need but because he needs to get out from the home?

There could be so very many other reasons.

But more importantly

Could it be my type A personality that gave him the reason to nurture his anger for the very longest time?

"Where do broken hearts go?"

 

How long do real love and heartache last?

Axian of the Asian Food Channel provided the answer when he interviewed a widow who lost her husband some 28 years ago.

Both husband and wife journeyed through tough times selling Chinese herbal tea along the roadside in Penang.

When questioned as to why she continues to ply this trade,

She pointed to an empty steel stool and with tears rolling down her wrinkled face replied

“My husband sat there and toiled alongside with me through the years”

So how long do real love and heartache last?

For this woman, it is forever.

And perhaps for many out there this is just but a fairy tale.

Pay packets

 

For most employees, the size of the pay packet matters tremendously. 

It defines who they are. 

And in their pursuit to enlarge it 

It reveals what they really are. 

Some lie. 

Some carry falsehood. 

Some grovel. 

Some become Brutus like.

Some take on the changing ability of the chameleon. 

Almost all forget what began as dust returns to dust. 

And what that remain is - the own definition of what they had been.

Arthro$copy in Penang

Medical Specialists in private hospitals have grown to be very arrogant.

My other half was advised to have a knee arthroscopy done by a specialist at Logan Road Penang.

His estimated cost was $8,000+.

When she asked if there were any way to make it cheaper as she is not covered by health insurance, the $peciali$t brusquely told her to go to the government General Hospital to have it done as it is cheaper.

It looks like health care is certainly the last thing on hi$ mind.
