1. I question the integrity of the Malaysian reporters who wrote the story of how Pornhub is now free. Perlukah cerita?

2. And I pray for those unfortunate kids who might have to live with
- ill-tempered parents
- bersempit-sempit dalam rumah kecik
- domestic violence
- sexual abuse

3. I wonder what happened to them robbers and drug addicts. Business is good as usual?

4. And I hope the addicts can finally withdraw from their addictions.

5. I am excited to see our Earth healing.

6. The animals must have been so weirded out to see less human. Can you imagine being one of the animals?
Monkeys won't be so happy though. They can't steal our food anymore. Hehe.

7. It could get boring to stay at home. But it is not too bad for me. For that, I am grateful for everything.

Was in the toilet one morning before work when my daughter called for me.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommyyyy!!!"

Sounded urgent. So I replied and opened the toilet door slightly. "Mommy dekat sini. Apa dia?"

She peeked inside to look at me sitting on the toilet bowl, "I love you. I love you, Mommy!"

Okaylah, my sweetest Baby H, pagi-pagi orang nak kencing bersiap pergi kerja pun dia nak ber love love bagai. So cute, and I feel so loved.

I've done something right. I am a great mother!

Tonight, I recall 3 great advices I received when I was working.

1. This was about 10 years ago. I was a fresh graduate and naive. I was about doing something at work. To get my client prepared, I usually said something like this- Okay, Mr A, ready, one, two, three.

One day, my client told me, "Miss Ectopy, Miss Ectopy patutnya cakap- Bismilllahirahmanirrahim, bukannya 1, 2, 3.

I think since that day, I've tried to remember that. Start with Bismillah. Besar pahala dia.

2. I attended a course, not work related, but about wasiat, hibah, etc. It was good, because it is about something I am not very familiar with.

At the end of it, it was time for Q&A.

The question from the floor went like this-
Saya ada enam orang adik-beradik.
Kakak saya tidak berkahwin dan tidak mempunyai anak.
Sebelum dia meninggal akibat sakit kanser, beliau telah menyerahkan semua harta beliau kepada saya, dan menyuruh saya menggunakan harta tersebut untuk tujuan amal kebajikan seperti menderma.
Patutkah saya beritahu adik-beradik lain pasal hal ini, dan adakah patut saya memberi sikit harta itu kepada adik-beradik saya?

One of the speakers said-
Ya, berilah sikit kepada adik-beradik. Sebab, kalau beri pada adik-beradik pun dikira jariah. In fact, sebaik-baik sedeqah adalah kepada keluarga.

So wise.

3. A client told me he had knee pain. I said to him, "Sakit sangat ke pakcik? Biasalah orang tua, sakit-sakit. Pakcik pun dah tua, dah tak buat kerja berat."

"Tak adalah sakit sangat. Memang tak buat kerja berat. Tapi tak boleh solat dengan sempurna. Kita dah tua-tua, kalau boleh, solat tu biar sempurna. Jadi, beringatlah, masa sihat tu, kena solat yang sempurna. Nanti jadi macam pakcik."

Value your health, people.

My husband commented- Bontot you makin besar.

I didn't know whether it was a compliment (because he's a booty kinda guy) or he was saying that I am gaining weight.

I knew the answer tonight when he said- I nampak kaki you besar. You should go jogging.

-___-

A few things worrying me tonight

- Obviously, the COVID-19.
- And the fact that my risk of exposure is rather high.
- And if I contract the virus, I don't want to spread it to my family.
- With this disease, you can be well one day, then die in the next few days. I am completely not prepared for death.
- I don't want anybody to die without their loved ones by their death beds or their bodies being handled by their families; without families touched and kissed them for one last goodbye.

- Famous people should be responsible of their actions.
- Like, I don't care if you are confident that you have taken all the precautions to avoid being infected while you are on holiday overseas, the least you could do is not post photos about you ignoring all of our advice to postpone your overeas trip.
- Why? Because I am sure most of your audience are these young girls, who got influenced so easily, sometimes, they don't even read the captions.
- Social resoonsibility is not even trying to suggest that vacations outside Malaysia is possible.
- There's a reason why you are called an influencer. So, please be socially resposible.

- What do I cook tomorrow?
- I don't have chillies.
- I have many vegetables left.
- I want to cook only 1 main dish.
- My kitchen is a mess.
- Some of the stuff I ordered only are not being posted yet.
- Should I fast tomorrow?

- The economy is so bad, I can feel there will be a recession after all this.
- I hope our family will survive.
- I should not be buying any designer bag this year.
- I should do my tax filing by next week.
- Not a good time for vacations overseas if we indeed go into recession :'(

- Kids will have online classes. How will I manage when I have to work and do house chores?
- My husband will be staying at home but I doubt he will help the kids with their work.

- When can I see Mother?

A quick one today...

My husband made me blush because he said I am pretty. Hihihi...

You know, I've been married for almost 9 years now, and I don't hear direct compliments from my husband anymore. Do I mind? It's not something I think about until today...

He called me while at work, because his business partner wants to find a girlfriend for his son. So, he called me, and said, "You ada kenal tak siapa- siapa yang single? Anak dia 28 tahun, baru habis buat TESL. You carikan eh? Nak yang comel-comel macam you..."

You guysssss...
My husband still thinks I am comel *blush*
And he said this in front of his partner...
Can't believe something so trivial like this can make so happy!

Hahaha...In case you didn't know, I never consider myself pretty. Maybe, okay looking. A little bit over average? *self love* But I am aware where do I stand in the hierachy. Never on top. I am quite presentable IF I want to. Otherwise, I can be very bibik looking. Comot. Plain Jane. I go to work bare faced, so, can you imagine?

But...I know I have good fashion sense. When I was in University, my friends would come to me for advice. I often guide them to pose with their best angles for better photos. I remember I was not rich, my clothes were cheap, but I somehow was always in trend.

That was more than 10 years ago.

Last week, I was talking to my friends and one them said, "I tak pandai dress up macam you."

Wahahaha! I immediately chuckled, "Wait, what? Ada orang cakap I pandai dress up? Hahaha."

I thought I've lost my fashion sense. Seriously. All I wear to work now is baju kurung. I'm so glad someone still notice my love of fashion, although, I rarely wear trendy now. I still enjoy watching fashion Youtube channels though. Watch je lah...Nak melebih- lebih pun, nak pakai pergi mana? Kan dah pakai tudung sekarang ni...

Am I superficial because I am happy when somebody compliments me on my looks? Or am I happy just because I rarely get this type of compliments, and when I do...Let me enjoy my moment lah...Let me enjoy feeling a little bit pretty. Hihihihi...

Guys, I would like to remind you, ladies love it when you guys say we are pretty. Please say it often!
