Gong Xi Fa Chai.

and so today is the 7th day of the Chinese New Year.
a lot has happened just between the start of the Western New Year and that of this Chinese New Year.

i found out that my best friend was really dating someone when he put his Facebook status into "in a relationship" yet chose not to tell me, even when i asked him. no biggie i suppose, just hurtful. and so to the Blog Stalker i have now picked up through our common friend in La Coruna, delete delete delete!

i found out that i am glucose intolerant. no biggie i know, just have had to give up my truck-driver-portions of rice at lunch and dinner, my McDs and all those french fries in-between, and my religious nightly beer. my body though loves this new change and has dropped 4 KGs over a week plus i am feeling soo energized without my insulin having to work overtime to cope with the carbs, i might as well be on prozac. plus it made me buy a treadmill (so at 40 i am finally going to eat well and walk to sweat!). le sigh.

i reaffirmed again why i love IggySingh soooooooooo, and why she loves me right back. she was just so manja towards me over the long CNY break, and amongst lots of ways of showing me her companionship and her affiliation... (now this is a biggie!) for the 1st time ever, she also climbed into my lap just so she could then climb up onto my shoulder, all on her very own. where she proceeded to sit and kiss the back of my neck repeatedly, hugging my neck, until she had had her fill, and then down she came all on her very own. free will! ya gotta love it!

oh and i found my 40th birthday present... so Poh Kong MV, here i come again and again :)

and to all my dearest friends and members of my familia (that i talk to), i would like to take this opportunity to wish each of YOU a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. May the Year of The Rat bring to you lots of love, prosperity, good health and escalating wealth.

Chak De!

embracing 2008 :)

my 40th year is here.
and so i am waiting for the angels to hark in heaven, and for ALL my dreams to come true in this one swirling Bollywood-dream-dance-climax-theme-sequence. in which i will have my man fall passionately in love with me and i will fall readily into his waltzing embrace, and we will eagerly do our own dard-ke-disco in the special-effects-fog that mysteriously seeps around our ankles.

yes... so, i have to find THE man first but other than that?

i want for this year to be a truly happy one.

to have us achieve world peace.

to see the end of ALL terrorism.

i want the abused animals to find homes with people that love their gentle souls, and who show our loyal friends that life is really all about receiving love and not about the human horrors they have had to put up with in silent anguish. i want the abusers to repent and carry their crosses up the South American rain forests or get locked up in tiny cages and take the abuse they meted out in lieu of atonement.

i want to see abused wives stand up for themselves and ALL crime against children fade into just another horror from our poor decrepit uncivilized past.

i want to see couples genuinely in happy marriages/relationships and the art of faithfulness becoming all the rage.

i want to see all cures be created miraculously, and to have cancer to be the first to be eradicated. i want us to be a world with no sickness, with no disease, and of pure pink health from birth to peaceful blissful death.

i want to have lunch with Bono, and salute to all religions coming together towards the one true God, the Father that has created us all, in our glorious diversity.

i want most of all, to be able to sleep through the nights :) and to wake up in the knowledge that i am truly loved.

i wish you a verry happy new year and give you my sincerest wishes for a Year of The Rat that is filled with pink health, eternal love, internal, environmental and global peace and cha-chink.... prosperity baby. Chak De!
