Try it, you might love it ;)

I think it's nice to break away from the norm once in a while like rearranging your furniture or eating something different than what you normally would in the morning. My mum is one of them who loves to do the former and it's always refreshing when we come visiting to see something different about where the couch is sitting. Sometimes I do it in class too - when it's appropriate - and try putting a different take on how I teach something. The results are usually rewarding :) 
But there are things I don't want to change. Like the shoes I'm wearing - I wear the same one for work and for days when I'm not working. The playlist I have in my phone - I can listen to literally the same songs over and over everyday. (But I do add on new songs I happen to like). I choose the same colours when I buy clothes and shawls and to choose something different would just be wrong. (drama much?) And when I order out I also usually order the same thing so my dishes are predictable. Not so adventurous huh?
I suppose there's no wrong or right way to do things sometimes but one should be willing to be more open to other possibilities and ways, right? Who knows what you could be missing out if you don't try. So let's be bold and try to add something different when the occasion arises. Let's surprise ourselves. Life is too short to live mundanely ;)


PS/ I had a point to this thing I've written but because I wrote it halfway and left it as a draft for 2 weeks I forgot what it was!

a sight for sore eyes

Seven years ago we made a decision that changed our lives. My husband and I took in ( bought ) a 2 month old cat (from Penang) who at that time was a tiny one and could fit into my husband's pocket shirt. We named him Woody because of his colour and we never looked back. Since then we've breeded 10 of Woody's offsprings and 5 grandchildren. After several deaths, a disappearance and some giving away, only 6 remain with us. And they are indeed a sight for sore eyes, a source of comfort and joy and above all, our children . Can't imagine life without them.

what colour are you?

Am once again surrounded by the chaos and craziness of my working world. And I haven't even started teaching yet! One thing I often get to do when I'm at work is shop! There's always something for everybody whenever someone starts selling. In my defense, it saves me time from having to go to a shop myself.. and if i can get quality goods at affordable prices (pay 2,3 times.. haha), why not? Today it was batik. And being around colleagues who watch what we wear day in and day out.. everyone seems to know what colour would suit which person. I was no exception.. Once again, I didn't surprise anyone and chose material with the same colour I always choose. Which got strong reactions from my dear observant friends. So, I decided to try listening to everybody's protests and tried hard to find something that wasn't me . I wanted to embrace the challenge of wearing something different. Getting out of my comfort zone. But then I wondered, why would I want to be not me ...

a note before midnight

It's the end of June.. soon it will be July - my favourite month ;) Significant things are happening in July. Results. Decisions to be made. New students, new class, new people to break my heart.. Anyway, it didn't work. My time off. Remind me not to have any time off from the world wide web cuz it'll never work. Can't be separated. Today was not a good day. I need to get my eyes checked cuz my lack of power which I never knew, is giving me terrible headaches and I couldn't see the writing on the mahjong papers my students presented today :( and my power is already 600!! :(( Ok.. gotta go battle with my cat and shove a pill down her throat. Please cooperate. If you're interested: sher127.tumblr.com goodnight readers of my blog..
