Fatty Poh's Kopitiam

This year I intend to run my first 5K, been training and hope to make it. Already registered for the Autism run :D

This year I published a book, it wasn't intended but it happened. I am proud of myself, *pat pat on my own back*

When I have recovered from exhaustion (lol yes giving birth to a book is very draining) I will blog about it's journey from conception to birth.
By the way if you would like to buy a copy of my e-book, here is the link to "Oh, I Thought I was the only One!!"

My friend's mother likes to pull me aside each time I visit, and whisper gossip in my ears hoping to shock me. She likes gossiping about whose husband has left, whose wife is shacking up with which guy, pregnant unmarried cousins, etc.
So last week when she dragged me aside and starts saying in a hush hush voice "DO YOU KNOW Betty's cousin brother's wife left him for another man? She gave birth to one child, THEY ARE NOT MARRIED, now she is pregnant again....." she paused for effect, with an expression that evoked the "devil" in me. So I replied with a straight face.. "Oh wow she so smart, why wanna marry? Married then more heartache, have to take care of him and his children, now she only has her children to care for, no need to complicate things by marrying the dude"
Her mouth dropped open, and she went "HUH??? WHAT???"
OMG that was priceless....I repeated myself, "Ya lar, marry for what? Obviously he does not want to marry, if he did he would have proposed to her when she was pregnant with the first one."
Sometimes I am so evil....

To me they are!! Unfortunately, if they were to enter this competition I am not sure that they would win. Sadly today's media has set different standards for how women should look like and they have convinced us that beauty cannot be anything more than a size 0...... :(

Sometimes in life I feel like I am on a roller coaster ride, up down up down, perhaps that is why I do NOT like to ride on roller coasters. I have enough things to turn my stomach upside down. Never liked being thrown all over not knowing when the next turn is or when to duck when that curve ball is thrown at me.
Uncertainty........


Perhaps like Lewis Carroll “If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”

"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you 
don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not 
doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or 
less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have 
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other 
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will 
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive 
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason 
and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no 
reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you 
understand, and you show that you understand, you can 
love, and the situation will change"
