Maidless in Mutiara

Asnah, my Indonesian maid left for Medan last Saturday for a month long H/Raya break.

I sent her to Port Klang to take the 10 am ferry. At 2pm, she called, I thought she had arrived at her kampong but she said she had just boarded a rescheduled bigger ferry which will take 6 hours to reach Tg. Balai.

I advised her to be patient, nak berHari Raya dengan keluarga mesti lah kena berkorban!!

I pun berkorban jugak!

Now I have to sweep and water the garden, clean the house, do the laundry, cook for the family, feed the cats, bunnies.....etc,etc, etc, (exaggerated to add drama) besides, of course, managing a business.

Just the thought of them make me very distraught when all I want to do is...




sleep,





...and looking good....

Itchy twitchy palm

Last night I experienced a sudden involuntary itch on the centre of my right palm.

It's a malay superstition that if the itch is not due to eczema or scabbies, it's a sign of money coming to you through unsuspected ways. However, if it happens on your left palm, it's the other way round, money's going to flow out of your pocket instead!!

I was watching the stockmarket index closely this morning and at 10.12am was practically holding my breath when it plunged to 1,000.43 point, a skin away from turning 3digit. I am of course waiting for the right time to accumulate.

When charts and analysis elude me, I can't believe that I actually attempt to use superstition as one of my investment tools.

Oh, what a pathetic looser I am!! I think it's time to get a life!!!!!!

Hari Raya Goodies.

My supplier has delivered some simple Hari Raya goodies, which I ordered to be distributed to my clients who have been supporting us generously for the past one year.



They are so cute, Hari Raya cookies in the buckets.















These bigger ones containing a few types of Hari Raya cookies are for our more important clients.













Ramadhan is indeed a month full of rezqi but I am not creative enough to prepare these gifts myself.

Ooops!!...

Tasya!!!!!!!!!!

At the groomer's

Simba, my Angoran rabbit has been with me for 3 months now.

Everyday, I'm doing battle with his blonde long fur. I did badly so far because Simba ended up with tangled-up and matted bottom!

Hari Raya is coming, so, I decided to bring Simba to the groomer's.

Here's Simba being introduced to his groomer, Selena.






Simba had pedicure, manicure and since it took so long for the hair to be done, I left him to Selena's expert hand.























I picked him up 2 hours later, smelling great, neatly coiffured, he even had a ribbon on his head!
