The thing with donuts...

i ate 10 donuts in the car today. *BURP*
i have very sugary lips now :D
i love my life.

Watched Brave with my 18th year old nephew. We both did not budge an inch the whole movie. I still love cartoons and animated movies. Named one of the shelter cats Merida after that.

Binged on a MARS bar for a few nights in a row
Whole bag was finished
Got another new bag
Binged again till i cracked.
Don't think lactose and i are good friends.

I had one and a half months of total freedom.
When it was just Dommy and i.
We watched so much tv till Dom became bored and i became useless.
TV is bad. Too much tv makes me stupid+er
I am already stupid.. now i am stupid+er

I care less about people and things
I gave more things away
I read more books
Best book i read was
Yasmin How You Know?

I still read some of your blogs
I go to Bob and Sophie's every single day these past few months
They both taught me many great things about life
I love Angus.
He is a lovely storyteller.

Just gave me 21 year old nephew an earful.
He kept yawning and yawning
But i know he is listening
I never scolded him much the years he was with me
Might have pampered him too much
He is a man now
He's going to be a doctor one day
There's only 3 things i want to teach him all these years
Responsibility
Compassion
Initiative
Without these, you won't go far in life.

I have three sisters in my life
We all lead very different lives
My only wish for them is to be happy
They should be happy
When you have everything, you should be thankfully happy.

My smartphone is not very smart
Its usually left on the table now
Its usually quiet
Too many bings and dings
We spend too much time looking at the tiny screen
We go for dinners and forget to talk to each other
We take pics of everything we eat
We post it on instagram and facebook
We even smile at our smartphone
We forget to look around
At the people around us
We forget about the beauty of nature.

My dad is getting older
He don't even mind the cats in the garden now
God's creatures only bring delight
If only we take the time to know them.

Some people never know how it feels like to be hungry
They buy so much and throw so much away
If you see a stray dog or cat
Give it a bit of food or water
It will only make you richer if you feed a hungry stray
If you do not like them, do not hurt them.

I see my neighbours who are dog lovers
They cannot call themselves dog lovers
They only love their own dog
They shoo the strays
They throw stones at strays
The strays were just hungry.

I met this couple
They work at the shelter as shelter workers
Sometimes i bring them chocolates
They saved the chocolates i gave them
Its only a piece of MARS bar
But to them its heaven
I am ashamed because i ate a whole bag of MARS bars all by myself
While this couple shared their bar of chocolate and save the other bar for another day
I forgot how it was to be truly poor
When you have your last dollar in your pocket
And payday is another week more.

I am thankful each day
I wake up and Dom is by my side
He is happiest when i get up
"I need to pee I need to pee" he says
It doesn't really take much to make him happy.
My very loyal dog
I couldn't ask for anything more.

It is the donuts speaking. After 10 donuts... my thoughts are finally free.
Do not be alarmed. They were mini donuts in a doggie bag.
The MARS bar were mini bars too.
I still crack even though they were mini.

Am sorry if we have not been visiting or commenting.
Had to take a sabbatical :) But i am not sure if it did any wonders to my mental state.. LOL!

Dommy: me am sleeping woman.. go away!

The Day When Coffee Was Saved By Two Donuts

Clueless.. i am clueless on most days. Especially clueless in the mornings when i am not wide awake yet.

For the past few weeks, i have been getting up at 6am. For me... 6am is like the best time to sleep. But hell no... both Dommy and Piper are like birds. They are early birds. They both sleep in their own beds in my room. But a tiny movement from me.. or a turn, will get them both excited. They would think that its morning even though it could be 3am. They would get all excited to get up and shake their butts and eager to go out with the "i need to pee look".

The reason i get up at 6am is to get myself ready to send my nephew off to college before i start work myself at home. I could let him drive himself to college but he just got his licence a few months back. The early morning traffic is horrendous on the highway. And you have flying empty lorries on all three lanes of the highway rushing off to the port. Most of the time, he is not even awake yet to drive. Yes.. i think i pamper him too much. *LOL* But he's only 17.

To get to his college takes about 30 minutes and to get back to the house.. another 30 minutes. It takes me about an hour to and fro. Sometimes it takes about an hour and a half for me to get home to turn on the yellow blinkers.

On some days, i'll drop by the wet market near his college and get some grubs and stuffs to cook for dinner later in the day. Probably take me about 15mins to do a very fast marketing.. hahhahahaha I get fresh fruits... fresh meat and some vegetables too. The breafast and nasi lemak at the market is not too bad either. They come in very big portions for a steal.

Some days i get a bit hoity toity for my own good :) Usually i'll pass by McDonalds, KFC, Dunkin Donuts on the highway. They seem to call out to me with their bright colourful signboards. Come come come and get some donuts.. or come and get McDonalds breakfast.. :) I don't quite like KFC in the morning.. hahaha

I love McDonalds breakfast. But the coffee is crappy as hell. Arabica coffee... yucks! Its just bitter. Even with sugar, it kind of leaves a dark aftertaste in your mouth.

Today i went to pump some petrol and walla... Dunkin Donuts seems to be sending some positive vibes to me. I needed a sugar fix and and and i fell prey to the lovely donuts on the tray. Donuts and i go a long way. I have a mighty sweet tooth and one of the reasons why i don't really have much teeth left on me *LOL*

Since no one in this household fancy donuts except me, i only got two dreamy donuts. Yum yummmmm :) When i was about to pay.. i was going.. urmm.. maybe i could use a fancy coffee. I decided to give myself a big treat. Walking to the car, i grin like a silly goose while clutching the two soft donuts in the bag and the coffee in the other hand.

When i reach my car, i automatically put my cuppa of coffee on the roof of my car while i search for my keys in my pockets :D I drove off slowly and the donuts seem to be screaming at me.. EAT ME EAT ME... Being the glutton that i am... i parked my car a few meters away and quickly munch on one of the soft donuts. Yummmmmmmmmm. Then it hit me.. where's my coffee?

Damn! I must have left it on the roof of my car. I quickly got out of my car... and walla! There sits my beautiful coffee. Not a drop missing. It was just clinging on for dear life when i drove that few meters. *LOL* Good thing i drive like an old lady and i didn't make any sharp turns. I think the cars around me would be thinking why this idiot is driving around with her coffee on the roof.

The donuts did save the day and the coffee. Dunkin Donut's coffee is better.. nicer.. smoother.. urmm.. urmm.. maybe coffee that is "saved" taste like a million bucks.. hehehhee.. Not that i know how a million bucks taste like.

The internet service here is crawling like a snail this week. Is it me or is everyone experiencing exceptionally slow internet speed? I am crawling at 1Mbps.. hahahahahaa... It is almost an impossible feat to do any updates on heavy websites. Ah well... i think i'll go read a book for now. This slow speed is driving me up the wall.

Oh.. i am currently reading this. How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves by Sophia Yin.

I got it from Borders on Monday. We are just a few pages into the book. Both Dommy and i are reading it together ;p This book might help me to understand my dogs better and their behaviours. It is suppose to teach me how to behave so that my dogs behaves :) The book was going for a steal :D

I was searching for Emila's My Mother's Garden in Borders. I couldn't find the book that Emila wrote and illustrated in Borders yet. But its available at Kinokuniya. Maybe i'll go drop by Kinokuniya soon :)

If you have a kid, this book would be a wonderful book for him/her. Its beautifully illustrated and i just can't wait to get my hands on it. Visit her e-shop to get it if you are overseas and interested to buy it. Here's the link. My Mother's Garden @ Emila's Littleshop
