Thistle Hotel, Port Dickson ( 3 days 2 nights ) 12th.Dec 2011 - 14th.Dec 2011

Swimming pool at the Thistle Hotel, Port Dickson, 3 days 2 nights stay....

I didn't manage to collect any photos for display at the swimming pool. Likewise I couldn't get a good photographer to take a photo of me in my new swimsuit that I bought at Teluk Kemang, I guess I would have to do with an imaginary photo that appeals to all...

I HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE SWIMMING POOL. I swam and sat and enjoyed myself at the jacuzzi for three days all in a row. It was terrific, swimming and playing in the water of the pool. The water was clear and clean. My niece knows snorkeling and she had a snorkeling set on with goggles and everything. I had to help her and save her at all times because her mother is busy suntanning herself at the poolside chair. She bought for her daughter floaties and a sandcastle set for building sandcastles and playing with water inside the swimming pool.

I ENJOYED THE JACUZZI VERY MUCH. I made a few friends along the way also from Kuala Lumpur enjoying their stay at the same hotel. They, like many others conquered the pool by soaking and playing with the clear blue waters of the swimming pool. My mother spend her time watching AEC on Astro inside the bedroom hotel. She also takes walks along the beach of Port Dickson with my father. We ate Buffet for two whole mornings, the second and final day. We also ate outside at Restaurant Fei Fei, Seafood restaurants and ate crabs, prawns, satays and Gui Ling Gao.

My thirst was quenched during the stay at Thistle. The beaches provided me the solitude for longevity. I had pictures of the beaches of Port Dickson at http://www.elaineliew-greekmyth.blogspot.com/

WE ARE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY, my Mom, Dad, brother, sister and niece and I, the greatest sixthsome. =D

WORRYING does not empty TOMORROW of its TROUBLES, it EMPTIES Today of its STRENGTH.

Friends to me are like a bonfire, they sparkle up my life if you find you own cliques that you are most comfortable with. I like to be surrounded by friends as much as I enjoy talking and chatting about stuff that doesn't hurt anyone of our feelings. You must be sure of their age and what type of conformities that they're in and confront them with words that make each one of us happy. I know how to talk nicely to other people and I respect another's privacy on words.

2011, July

I'm living in a fish tank. I can only breathe through limited space. Once I break the circle in which I breathe (the tank, I mean) I will fall down. I needed the water inside the tank to breathe for that's what's left of me....My circle of friends are the fishes surrounding me. Once I found another person with a fish tank like me, we knocked against each other and both of us fell down as we break our tanks in which we breathe in. I can only fantasize but need no actions.. My integrity is protected thru my unmoved actions when I met the other fish tank person....

HEADPHONES!!!!!!!

Although not specifically an "assistive device", headphones can be used by hard of hearing people to improve their hearing in some situations. Headphones can be plugged into many different sound sources, including the TV, stereos, CD players, computers and phones. Even people with serious hearing losses may be able to hear well with headphones, but that depends on their hearing and their hearing aids. People whose hearing loss is relatively flat across different frequencies may do quite well with hearing aids, since what they need is volume.......... It can even act as a "bra".

THE TRUE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN!!!!!!

The Beauty of a woman is NOT in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But TRUE BEAUTY in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years - ONLY GROWS!

Secretary's Week!

Secretary's Week is about taking a break from serving your Boss. It's like serving your husband, you manage to take a break - hey, it's a week for Secretaries or Made-to-be Moms so we ought to be glad and have a good time just for keeps sake that we were once "young". It's not about work, work and work alone, for work does earn you an income but it does not satisfy your desire, completely. Satisfying your quench for freedom and ease is taking it easy and going loose like a shopping spree, or going to the spa to relax instead of being "always" conformed to the world of working men.

I have been a secretary once. I quit my job once I found my husband and we intend to get married. I made the right decision. Looking back, I have never regretted it. Life has its way of moulding you into a special being , and this time I had it made to be a fantastic Mom. My work is at stake, so I left it and abolished all rules to set my heart free from bondage once and for all.

I had my allowance, skinny as it is, but I manage to keep to my heart's content, it's like taking up a course in book-keeping once again and I had the top list to settle my priorities right. Conform as it is and I did, I manage to keep my heart set in on their rules and I had my mind set right for a goal. A goal to strive to perfection. On my part is a pair of serving hands and a well-managed budget and I managed to survive the 12 years SUCCESSFULLY. Hurrah ! for mighty and special powers on high...

Success was easy when you had the Lord to be with you. I value that special touch and that special bond with the Lord Almighty on high.I had my quiet sessions with him and my tears cried out for him as well but the moment to cherish and to absolute praise was my radio which provide excellent music to soothe my desperate soul in times of anguish and turmoil. I praise the Lord for my partake in keeping and spending it on my two Empress transistor radios. Thank the Lord on high.

I wish to wish all my successors in marriage or soon-to-be-wed sisters on their newly-found lives with their husbands-to-be that they will have every happiness and pleasure that God can reserve for them and absolute peace in pursuing their goals and dreams...Halleluyah ! I praise the Lord!

MARRIAGE??!!!

This is a Passionate Kiss that leads to "Marriage"!

I Sleep Quite Early! But I dozed off Late! I used to take a Warm Bath.

I listen to music before I sleep and I switched it off before I fell asleep. I sleep ALONE.

Do You Like to be Kissed????

After spending my close-friend and good associate a free meal, she gave me a "kiss" on the cheek. I don't know about you but for a man to kiss his wife, it's a plunging of salivas........I somehow don't quite like the stench... but the love is comforting to the arms........I like to kiss my cute and adorable babies when they were young, somehow when my children grew up, they shied away from my darling kiss because their schools taught them not to be kissed, by anyone...

I describe a Passionate kiss is, an affectionate bonding kiss....that somehow got you unto bed.Halleluyah! My husband is not a good companian in bed, in response to "how good are you in bed" to men. I respected his working hours but somehow after my second child was borned, that was a huge gap and a huge emptiness. Chores had increased and so were the school work of raising children. And the pain and hardship of raising our kids and paying the school fees were so high it keeps him off his bed and he deny that he used to love having children after all... So we had it fixed that we would settle down for two. Amen.

My New Life ~ Being Single!

Everyday, I helped my Mom do the chores around the house, it is pretty hectic and sometimes very dull, in a sense that you won't like the job and had to force yourself to do it. I do out of the willingness of heart that as a daughter, as how I was taught and brought up in school, a woman's job is "always" at home and running around the house. If I have a car, I might drive to the supermarket, to the shopping mall with my relatives and sisters and with my Mom. Family affairs. Family business. Marketing, buying groceries and eating at food courts. Buying cheap dresses has always been a norm and never had we at anytime go over budget just for the sake of hyper-esctasy! ( over-do without consent!)

I NEVER go to NIGHT-CLUBS and had never intended to. My family won't allow it. It is just not a place for girls....I listened to orders and for the  past 42 years of my life had stayed OUT of trouble. Trouble had never come to me because I obeyed orders!!!!! I find it hard to see myself go to jail. I wanna ALWAYS be free and CAREFREE! ( not the lady-napkins,please).

I go out with my Mom to eat always. I go with my family to shopping malls to shop. It's a family affair each Christmas. We always budget on our expenditures and Mom has always put FOOD on top of our list. In fact my list too, she put on top - Food!!! We eat at restaurants that cater good Chinese cuisine. My father loves to eat. So does my brother and the rest of our kin.

I like to go easy on food because I am always Health-conscious because I have reached the age of 40. That's where all diseases start taking shape and if I don't eat proper meals or crash diet I will end up mal-functioned. I am always constipated so I take supplements to boost the digestion of my bowels. That puts me in good shape. That is my secret.

I wear clothes that fit me for the past ten years. I look 10 years younger than my actual age because I am small-sized and I am cute. I have slight curly hair due to extensive dyeing because everybody laughs at my white strands of hair. So I make it a point not to be laughed at. I dyed my hair with a special colour other than black and the colour that I like. So far I have tried all types of colour even blonde!!!! Someone even called me a Caucasian because I have highlights of blonde hair! At other times I am always a Latino because my hair is Brown. So are the colour of my eyes....I once had hair the colour of Shakira!

I like to thank God for a Good Life. I like to give thanks to God and lift up my praises to the Lord for whom all good thing flow! Thanks and I had loved the Lord....I lead a simple life.

I coloured my hair as I have grey-hair and I want to grow my hair long. I tied up my hair with a pin or hairbands.

Hi, my name is Wan-Ling Liew and I have grey hair and I have long hair. I want to have long hair because I sweep the floor everyday, cleaned my room all by myself , wash my hair daily, shampoo, treat, conditioned my hair and I coloured my hair with hair-dye. So far I have tried all types of hair-colour, my latest most recent one was Auburn coloured because I like the song by "Auburn" with her song "All about Him". So I chose the colour auburn and coloured my hair with this hair-colour, do-it-yourself. It saves money, time and cut cost and I have been colouring my hair for the past years.....

I had to do this because since two months of not colouring my hair, one fine day, as I looked at a shop mirror at a mini market, I had the Shock of my Life ~ I saw my white hairs, strand by strand! So I quickly bought a REVLON-brand hair colour that cost RM$20.90 at a Pharmacy and went home happily with an ease of mind. In just two hours - I have hair that looks like the picture above!!!!!

I like my hair for now and I love myself even more, that is most important. I had to remind myself that I have depression, a heriditary disease. I washed my hands everyday and at most time used lotion to keep my skin moist and suppled. I have been washing dishes for the past 40 years. Thanks and Praise the Lord!

OVERCOMING INSECURITIES AND NERVOUSNESS.

Whether we want to reduce speaker nervousness or eliminate the insecurity that makes us doubt someone's love, probably all of us feel our life would improve if we could eliminate the little insecurities and nerves we almost constantly battle. If I'm describing you, you're at the right page.

Insecurities and Nervousness are emotions that serve us well most of the time. They can be described as little caution flags that come up as we encounter risky circumstances in life. If you ever felt insecure when a friend was knocking a beehive with a stick, you probably benefited from that insecurity. Maybe someone at a party made you feel nervous, so you left, later to hear that he had done something harmful or mean. Again, the feelings were helpful for you. In fact, a person who genuinely feels no insecurities is probably very dangerous to be around.

Carnival rides like roller coasters. In fact, play with these emotions for the enjoyment of the rider. These are normal levels of insecurities and nervousness. These feelings become a problem when they are there all the time or when their presence prevents us from enjoying the challenges and risks of life. Risks, like roller coasters, can be enjoyed. Insecurity and nervousness must be controlled when the emotions rob us of the joy. Limit your performance, or limit your willingness to participate at all.

Persistence : When feelings of insecurity and nervousness are there almost all the time regardless of the situation, it usually means you have a bad worry habit or a mild anxiety problem. Kick it off! Do something worthwhile. Something that you like. Something that you enjoy. You will find that your mood will be lifted.

Shared Journey, your path to fertility - OVULATION.

Usually, one egg is released from your ovary about two weeks before you expect your period. For most women with a 28 day cycle, ovulation occurs on or around the 14th day. Some women have shorter or longer cycles, ranging anywhere from 21 to 35 days.

Ovulation is regulated by special hormones that are released by different parts of your body. Your brain contains hormones that stimulate the growth and development of your eggs. Your ovaries contain female sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which help to release eggs during ovulation. It is the interplay between these hormones that triggers ovulation and menstruation.

Every woman is born with eggs which when fertilized, develop into a baby. At birth, women have about 1 million of these eggs stored in their ovaries. By the time you start menstruating, you probably have about 400,000 eggs available for fertilization.

Over time, the number of eggs that you have in your ovaries will decline, and you may not release an egg every month. Eventually, as you enter menopause, your body will only have a few hundred eggs left and you will probably not ovulate again due to a change in your hormone levels.

Unlike other animals, humans do not show any outward signs of ovulation. However, there are a few subtle symptoms that you can look out for:
1. increase in basal body temperature ( usually increases by 0.4 to 0.6 degrees)
2.breast tenderness
3.change in firmness of cervix.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES - Reduce your stress. Stress, fatigue, and emotional ups and downs can all affect ovulation. Try to manage your stress through relaxation or moderate exercise. Maintain proper nutrition. Don't skip meals, crash diet or fast as this can wreak havoc on your menstrual cycle. Watch your weight. If you are seriously overweight or underweight your body may not be ovulating regularly. Don't exercise too much. Overdoing it can throw your body off its natural schedule and mess with your hormones...

Why the Internet is so much Fun!

The internet is a whole network of computer networks sharing information with each other. Some people call it the Information Super Highway. But whatever Internet you have, and whoever you have it with, it is the same internet. Just a network of computers sharing information.

Surfing the internet, it's for business; it's for fun; it's for knowledge; it's for entertainment; it's for browsing daily news and Emails. It is to me for burning all my wild thoughts through a blog and making it some pressure especially to those who knows me personally or letting them know how I feel. LOL!!!!

Writing to me has been so much fun!

Early in the morning, CNY Eve, swept the floor, mop the floor two times. Mom went out with Dad, came back , helped her do much of the cooking; preparations for tonight's tuan nien.....Dad just went to the bank!

I am getting a hell of an angpow this Rabbit CNY because I'm 'Single'. 2011. There is no place like Home.

I am Closer to the Edge,but I'm not falling.....

How to measure "success"! This is my measure of success!

Many people think of fame and fortune when they measure success. However, at some point in life, most people come to realize that inner peace and soul-deep satisfaction come from having lived a life based on integrity and noble character. There are many different opinions on what is considered successful. Success can be measured by the accomplishments someone has achieved over the course of their lifetime.

Start by setting goals. Start by understanding your strengths and your weaknesses. Start by making preparation for the challenges of your success and reassure yourself that you can be a success. Be positive, be aggressive, be productive, be an achiever, be aware of those hindering blocks, be aware of the interests that pertain to you and your measure of success. Be aware to avoid negative actions. Be aware that time will bring on change.

You are the Master of your own success. You can measure success by failure being overpowered with something good.Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here. Hold on to your faith, even if it's easier to let it go.

If I can keep up with Yoga, just one natural pose, and feel that absolute contentment, that is my measure of success. Not just once, but everyday, I do a sitting pose or an inner deep breathing pose or a yet simple easier to make you sleep pose, just one , everyday , will make my life more meaningful and absolute, yet successful......

THE BLACK SWAN (Schizophrenia) - a disease.

NATALIE PORTMAN - The Black Swan

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations. People with schizophrenia may report perceptual experiences in the absence of a perceptual stimulus. Most common are auditory hallucinations, often reported in the form of words spoken to the person with schizophrenia.

Many schizophrenics feel they possess extraordinary powers, superhuman strength or superior insights. They may believe that their thoughts are being controlled by others or are being broadcast over the public airways, or that outside thoughts are being implanted in their heads.

Diagnosis of Schizophrenia. Diagnosis is based upon the clinical history and presentation of the patient. It is also based upon ruling out organic causes of mental illness, such as the influence of drugs or toxic substances or neurological problems such as brain tumors, syphilis or infections.

( I RESPOND TO TREATMENT - help saved my life......says a patient on Schizophrenia. )

In Your 40s.......Keep Hydrated.

Halle Berry is in her 40s.......like I am.

By the time you're in your forties, the years of sun damage you did in your twenties finally start to rear it's ugly head. That, on top of what Tyra Banks calls your lymphatic drainage - the way your body gets rid of toxins decreases in speed to result in puffiness around the eyes and much thinner skin.

Since sebum production is also starting to slow ( how your skin stays moisturized and sometimes too oily ) , invest in a rich moisturizer and a skin brightener to lighten up a tired complexion.

Try Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum or L'Oreal Plenitude Anti - Wrinkle Firming Cream to fix worn out eyes and tighten up puffy skin.

Single : The Art of Being Satisfied, Fulfilled and Independent.

Reading a book or having a conversation with a close friend or just writing an essay and having a good laugh - Life has never been so good! Lifts me up, up, up, up! Sunday 30th, January 2011.

The most charming and intimate hint on being single is that your spirit's lifted and you consider yourself suddenly down to earth, after being in outer space. You feel happy. Your single world is brighter and more interesting. I love it. Judy Ford writes a book on this subject and I couldn't stop reading.

Being single is like having a conversation with a really good friend who supports you all the way. When you feel lonely in what often seems like a world meant for couples,  you find time to enjoy your hobby. Do something that you love to do and was never given the chance. You will find that it patches up the brokenness and emptiness when you enjoy your pass-time and enjoy the comfort that it gives you.

Don't use up all your money. Be a good wager as well as a good spender. Know how to save. Know how to count. You may find that one day, you will need the extra cash to pursue that innermost thing that is been denied from you for a very long time, that you push aside because you had other important matters to pursue.

Then, all of a sudden, as if by magic, OR if you sudden found a giver or a support that pays you, take that special free time zone of yours for awhile, and just go to that special place in your heart, acknowledge it, it has been a long winter......

I find solitary profound when you go out shopping. Go cheap as living has been just. You don't live for yourself alone, you live for your special love ones - buy that 'thing' or that 'piece' or that 'dish-of-your-life' that has kept you lonesome up for too long. Sometimes it helps if you don't have high hopes. How you were brought up signifies how much a spender you are. Or are you just as much as a lonesome shopaholic?

Take a walk out in the park or at the field when the sun goes down or after a pouring rain. Suddenly you saw a rainbow and remembers God's promise. When the sun sets,  you saw the magical sky wonder, full of colour. How many of you has the chance to watch the sun goes down and walk back to a wholesome meal?
Thank your mother! Respect those mighty income earners! They earn money out there day in, day out, and you just spend money only! You just know how to tell people off. Why don't you take time and breathe?

GONG XI FA CAI.

Tea - Time over here in Selangor. It's a hot weather. The sun is shining.

One day, my relatives came to my house to visit and bring us goodies ( a hamper ) for Chinese New Year. We had already bought Goreng Pisang and Goreng ubi keledek as well as Curry Puffs and we were enjoying our tea conversation over sundaes and coffee and teh tarik and juice. My aunt was quite a well-off lady who married a good and caring husband and both of them are working. Currently, my aunt has since retired, like me but doing her own part-time business to boost up her pocket-money.

We were discussing about the future of our children and the coming generations. Most girls want to work now, earn an income, drive a car, career-orientated, with a steady flow of income to support her family, her own needs and later support her future incoming family and raising children. Money seems to play a very important role in our lives these days and when money is lacking, arguments arise, quarrels abrupt and torment your marriage.

I was recalling those days , olden days when women has to stay at home and cook, take care of their children, babies, old folks and family members; now it seems that girls are all out there working , and accounting for their own lifes and expensive needs. Actually, I don't blame them. I would do the same if I am put into such a situation by my family.

In this new era, the family has to have a strong hold on the food storage, especially when both husband and wife are working. Mothers-in-laws come in and also maternal mothers and paternal fathers chipped in to help. It all depends on where and which family you're born and raised. Babies are so much to handle these days and nursery centers and baby-sitters are not to be accountable or reliable. One just has to keep an eye on all things. That's where the tele-communication media comes in handy. Hand phones. Cell-phones.Anything to connect and relate.

I believe that fate brings one man and one woman together. Fate also puts you where you work whole day ,whole night. Your destiny has already been written since the day you were borned. The gender deal. The family's decision , the money power and the number of heads. Take it as it comes. Deal with it competently. Success comes easy for those who strive. I didn't sit long enough in my office because the job is not mine. My work is at home with my babies, with my family , with my spouse. That's was the reason why I gave up my job. Not because I didn't sit long enough to enjoy the fruits of my labour, but my priorities set me this path.

I don't blame my mothers. The baby's mine. I take care of it. The allowance I will buy milk ,diapers, baby products and motherhood needs. I had what it takes to be a Mom. A full-time labour mom. I hardly sleeps at night and I take care of my children's needs and the family meals. Dinner time and bed time. Artificially boring.

You don't have to deny , you sweep the floor everyday, mop the floors everyday, do the laundry, hang out the clothes to dry, and toilet cleaning. I mostly enjoyed my quiet time and my Bathing Time. Don't arouse my mood until the time is right........Clean the rooms and make the bed......what about your kid's homework????
Well Done, elaine.

I'll take over when the time is right. Home Sweet Home.
