Millions of Cinderella
I love the story of Cinderella. But something just doesn’t make sense!
****
If shoe size is
a piece of evidence
to find Cinderella,
there must be
millions of Cinderellas
for the prince!

Millions of Cinderella
Disorganisingly organized
Disorganisingly organized
“He can find a slip of paper or note in his huge pile of disorganized files and books on his table.”
“He said he would file them himself and not to touch anything on his home office-table! It’s off-limit to my habitual cleaning sprees.”
These home-makers complained about their husbands’ untidy office table clutters.

It’s better to have ten disorganized players than ten organized runners.- Roberto Baggio
A disorganized workspace means disorganized work habits. A sloppy work environment equals sloppy results.- Larry Winget

Tourists fly thousands of kilometers to see exotic places.
The pristine corners of Port Dickson are ignored.
We have them all to ourselves.
We are not complaining, but feel it’s ironic. – Co-author Toh HL

Travelling does not have to be expensive
if one cares to appreciate the treasures
around and near us!
Soak one’s self
in the serenity of nature’s beauty,
sounds of rhythmic rolling of waves,
and the distant cries of birds in the forest! – Chen S.P. @ TPTan
Life as a quadriplegic.
Life as a quadriplegic
Zack has an incredible attitude towards his life as a quadriplegic. His mother is a jewel!
View here: Zack’s life as a quadriplegic.
This story on Facebook reminds me of two other teenagers who dived and broke their necks.
*****
The first one was a handsome well-built six- footer on admission. Some unscrupulous persons dumped some solid rubbish and rocks into the water… a spot where he used to dive at a harbour. With complete loss and wasting of his four limbs, he often vented his frustrations and yelled at his mother in the ward. She used to cry outside along the ward corridor. A former colleague visited him at a home some thirty years later. He sold his mouth- paintings and even bought wheelchairs for fellow paraplegics who couldn’t afford them.
****
I met the second teenager at Piazza della Indipendenza in Florence. He was on a motorized wheelchair which he could handle with the minimal use of fingers on the buttons. He had spastic quadriplegia. His muscles remained firm and not wasted. His mother and brother were with him. At my request, he demonstrated how he moved around the garden on his ‘machine’. It was about the cost of a car in my country, then.

Too old to drive?
Too old to drive?
As aging takes its degenerative toll on eyesight, hearing, reflexes and mental faculty, driving becomes a concern.
****
A senior citizen drove
on a motorcycle lane.
Some drove
against the traffic!
****
Concerns sparked.
*****
Suppose one eyesight
is getting poorer,
especially on nights,
or against the glares?
****
Suppose one’s hearing
gets worse and can’t hear
vehicles horning behind?
*****
Suppose one’s reflexes
become slower
with aging and stiff joints?
******
Independence and mobility
are vital for the
well-being of older people.
*****
Should their driving licenses
be screened medically?
Should public transports
be easily and freely
available to them?
…without them trying
to cross the heavy traffic,
or to the bus stops?
****
Are the millions of
baby boomers
still driving?
****
Mesmerizing Monday
To bargain at a night market?
To bargain at a night market?
A colleague complained about a busybody in- law.
“I notice you didn’t bargain when you bought vegetables at the night market just now! I could have gotten at least 30 cents less for them!”
“I would go for bigger and more expensive items to bargain! But certainly not in night markets where some are trying to eke a living!”

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next […]

The Mid-Autumn Festival and mooncakes
The Mid-Autumn Festival and mooncakes
The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in Malaysia with lanterns and moon cakes.
When young, we kids used to walk around the village with lanterns in our hands at night. Making lanterns used to be out Art projects, too.
Today, most would play in their own garden.
I asked my daughter if she can make moon cakes. She would say “easy -peasy, mum!” Like Haoyando said “it’s a piece of cake!”

COVID-19 Patient: Watch this breathing technique!
COVID-19 Patient: Watch this breathing technique!
I find this message interesting and logical. It was circulated on social media. The double inspiration and one expiration method was shown to increase oxygen level as experienced by this Covid-19 patient. More studies should be undertaken by scholars. This is to validate this simple breathing technique.
