This is Life!!

Life is now very well settled and the daily activity is becoming routine...to read "boring". The pleasure in life now is that I am no longer confronted by time nor dictated by schedules...instead I can now dictate what I want to do...with plenty of time on hand.


Most days the routine has degenerated into beginning a good morning (hah? is it always so??) at no earlier than 8 a.m...bliss..followed by a leisurely breakfast...ah! any reason to rush?..oh but not before feeding that rascal doggie...otherwise kena barked at although I am getting immuned to her unreasonable demands..and the barking..deaf to it more like it...which are also getting less...probably due to menopausing!! Then to exercise off the breakfast I take a short morning power nap which is easily induced by reading those boring articles in the newspapers..you know what I mean..waking up (automatic lah) in time to go for a sumptious lunch...yummy food hunting!..aarghhh..is also getting less enthusiastic..so what if I find a new eating place..gloat over it? What for?

Afternoon is always blissful after a good and satisfying lunch (is that so?)....and more so when aided by a great cup of freshly brewed thick black coffee (aaahh..the aroma of freshly brewed coffee..hmmm!!) and for me it induces sleep effortlessly and quickly... ahha another power nap and opening the eyes only to see the sun starting to set on the horizon with a golden hue...beautiful!!...where got time to watch when you are working?? :( and those damned mossies start to buzz around as its their feeding time...but..aarghh! I have also to start preparing dinner, oh so boring and a chore lah, anyway it is now a breeze as I have mastered the art of churning up a great and healthy cuisine...aiyah just boiling or steaming everything lah...also keeps your kitchen extremely clean...free of greasy stoves and floor..saves me from having to do all the cleaning up....so save energy mah.

After dinner activity is usually tv channels surfing...must exercise the fingers to keep their dexterity mah!! but there is no good channel nor a good programme..HBO..oh it is a Horrendously Boring Old Movies' channel...CNA is perpetually repeating all its programmes including the news..if repeated so often it is no longer news mah and I think they don't know the meaning of news or what is staleness..Completely No Attention grabbing programmes ....The BBC? It is Boring British Commentary programmes...CNN is oh so American...forget about the local channels..cannot understand who is watching those dated and long winded Taiwanese soap operas, one of which is telecasted every weekend (Saturdays and Sundays for 3 hours and already hundreds of episodes)..and the cake is the one shown every afternoon for an hour and it is presently on episode 846..gosh one year is only 365 days..it is being shown for more than 2 years already?? Incredible!! How long more??....What else but try to settle down as comfortably as is possible and attempt to read a good novel which hopefully is a mind stimulant and with a cup of warm oolong chinese tea as companion...perfect to bring the eyelids down (hey curtain down lah!) for the end of a wonderfully challenged day..to the body, mind and soul...aah this life man!!
I beg your pardon did you say Boring???
