Hehehe...sorry, no recipe to share because I'm not talking about food here...
I am sharing about my looks! I'm a Malaysian Chinese (I know, I know...I don't look like one) but has always been mistaken as a Malay or Kadazan girl (local ethnic). Both my parents are pure Chinese, but I don't know what went wrong as I came out having a darker complexion and look more 'Rojak' (refer to meaning at the bottom) compared to my siblings. I used to feel like an 'ugly duckling' in the family and hated it. Even...more so when I was growing up, due to too much exposure to the sun during sports activities, my complexion became even darker that I almost look like an Indian. The worst experience happened to me when I was 17yrs old during a trip to Hong Kong. I was standing in front of a street vendor waiting for my mum who was browsing through some items at other stalls when the lady vendor rudely told me to move aside from her stall. She thought that I was one of the Filipino maids in Hong Kong!
Nowadays, I always tell people that....I'm a Chinese mah, from Sabah bah, one of the state in Malaysia lah.....You know what, just as these clichés makes the way Malaysian speaks unique, my looks makes me unique too. I don’t hate the way I look anymore because I’m a good representation of our multi-racial country. Beauty is not the outlook but how we present ourselves. Just like ‘Rojak”, it doesn’t look so appetizing with all the dark prawn paste on it but if you taste it, you will find that it’s a little different and you might just love it! (Don’t blame me if you don’t like it, ok!)
Don’t judge the book by it’s cover. Don’t discriminate people by the way they look. Everyone is unique and different in their own way. The world would be a better place if everyone just shows a little LOVE.
* Sorry if you feel offended, not meant to insult anybody or any race

Meaning:- Rojak is the Malay word for a salad dish of mixed vegetables. The Chinese rojak consists of a salad of mainly pineapple, cucumber, turnip, tau pok (fried beancurd) and char kway (deep-fried dough sticks), freshly mixed in dark prawn paste with sugar. It is eaten with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts (sometimes pre-mixed with the prawn paste).

Last night when I was bathing Jadon, my 5 years old boy, he told me that he loves me very much. He said when he grows up and I am old, he wants to marry me. Then I asked him his papa how? Putting his right hand out, he said papa will be at the right and with his left hand out to represent himself....while mummy will be in the middle. Then he made kissing gesture with both hands to show that me getting kisses on both side...how lucky, hehe!
Then I teased him again, "When you have a pretty girlfriend, you would leave this old mummy aside". He assured me he won't and said, "If the girls want me, I would tell them..SORRY! I have a wife. But if they want my autograph, then I just sign for them". I couldn't stop laughing...isn't he cute? He's my love forever.....

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water, at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
So, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Men:
1. All men are extremely busy.
2. Although they are so busy, they still have time for women.
3. Although they have time for women, they don't really care for them.
4. Although they don't really care for them, they always have one around.
5. Although they always have one around them, they always try their luck with others.
Women:
1. The most important thing for a woman is financial security.
2. Although this is so important, they still go out and buy expensive clothes and stuff.
3. Although they always buy expensive clothes, they never have something to wear.
4. Although they never have something to wear, they always dress beautifully.
5. Although they always dress beautifully, their clothes are always just "an old rag".
6. Although their clothes are always "just an old rag", they still expect you to compliment them.
7. Although they expect you to compliment them, when you do, they don't believe you.
Wisdom:
WHEN I WAS MARRIED 25 YEARS, I TOOK A LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "HONEY, 25 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD BLOND."
NOW WE HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A 50-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO
ME THAT YOU ARE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."
MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN. SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT & FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD BLOND, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.
AREN'T OLDER WOMEN GREAT? THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE YOUR MID-LIFE CRISIS.

Hey all, let us double *WINK*  to older women...
