FIVE YEARS OLD MONSTER AT HOME!


She is no different from prehistoric cavemen, my house is just another Niah Caves but in Kuching!




Written by Mrs. Money



She is still in an age with highest subconscious; soon she will get kicked out from the Garden of Eden!

What a joke if I tell you that God could be a female figure when "et" converted to a physical being in order to live in Garden of Eden. Eve might listen to God’s word if "et" was a male figure and our religious believes would be entirely different. It's just a joke, actually God should be a male figure according to my bible research, but Eve even could disobey her "heavenly father" but rather chose to believe a snake possessed by a devil, Eve had not gained worldly wisdom before she got kicked out from Garden of Eden yet she already got that rebellious defected genes in her.

Eve rather listened to a snake than God, the girl chose to listen the big bad wolf rather than her mom and now my little five years girl never listens to me, when I cooked rice, she wanted noodles, when I gave her milk she wanted oat meal,, when I gave her coke she wanted Ribena and when I gave her sundae she wanted ice-cream cone. When I asked her to return her toys to the basket after she played but she would deliberately dump them under her bed and love to cut the papers and stuck them everywhere and I would clean the house for more than 5 times a day. When I bought her to shower, she would lock the door and I would scream angrily because she pour water into all the bottles of shampoo and body shampoo, anything with bubbles is her favorite. She only behaved if I told her, “Your daddy is coming back home today, so don’t mess up the house.” Either Odysseys behavior revealed on her or she simply got certain rebellious defected genes inherited from Eve!

Many friends asked me should they beat their daughters with a rattan, as laws in USA and Singapore, children shouldn’t be canned. Personally I think they should be canned but not abused. I am expecting lots of social problem in the coming twenty years with children not being canned when they were young.

In the highest subconscious age of 3 to 5, they are half stupid half smart, half conscious half no cognitive awareness and half devil half angel. When they turned into annoying monsters insisted an expensive toy from their poor mommies, due to the laws said “No canning”, so no matter how their mommies tried to cool down the monsters they insisted wanted their respective toys, in front of many onlookers soon their mommies gave way, little monsters won their wars.

After 20 years later, someone offering “yes” kids some drugs, they never learned conditionally of such word called “no” and “pains and rejections” in their subconscious realm, their wills cum wise brains struggling to control their bad actions, drugs and other compulsive bad habits easily become their adult toys!

In an adverse, if mommies said “no” to little monsters, and gave them some painful canning, mommies won their wars. Their little monsters adopted conditioned-learning into their subconscious realm. Twenty years later their friends ask them, “Happy hours. Let’s go looking for pros!” Suddenly their fierce mommies’ face emerged to give them some hesitations and thinking, they can easily let their wise brain and wills under controlled before their bad actions, as they were being taught since young days.

Divorced parents with kids of 3 to 5 will bring them silent hurts in their subconscious realm. I witnessed myself a rich couple who divorced with a daughter at 2 and another around 4. 10 years later the 14 years old girl told me, “I want to be a lesbian when I grow up.” Her behavior wise is really recluse and weird though I really think that she will turn into a very pretty girl yet she behaves with no confidence postures and acts. Their divorced rich dad and pretty mom s both found their respective partners and left the kids to their grandma. However, her younger sister acted very normal and wise. It’s very painful when I think of these two lovely girls, I just pray that nothing bad will happen to them of wherever they are now.

“HELPFUL” MEN AND THEIR GROWN UP DAUGHTERS



Written by Mrs. Money


They are like a group of pet lovers, who would acquire a Persian cat to propagate kitties or Husky bitch to propagate puppies but these pets are locked in a cage above 80 degree F with bad ventilation!


There is a group of “very helpful role model” not that wealthy married men living in our community, who usually leave their families in another city to enable their children to attend particular branded schools that they wished to attend. Or in certain cases, there is a good excuse to leave them twenty four out of thirty days in a month alone again living a carefree bachelor life, as in their shared dictionary with their old grandpa saying that the role for a wife is to take care of a family and children, thus a wife and kids are acting like a barge towed behind a tug boat!

These guys would be so helpful to their relatives, friends, churches, political parties, associations and clans. Only after they finished “all” their helps to others, then they began to remember that they got some kids at home with a wife. So he began to feel very guilty, he would rush home the most once or twice a month to pamper and fulfill their kids and wives for two or three days. Everyone of their friends and friends would think that they are the good men as they work hard, didn’t gamble, didn’t look for a mistress and some of them even came to an extend to study religious courses as they are so free without any direct parenting duty involved.

Actually this is the pattern of traditional good married men but when they live in this modern era, they are actually disappointing men for modern thinking highly educated overseas graduated wives and loser-dads for their grown up new age daughters. This kind of traditional men actually are silent selfish controllers, usually they leave their poor wives juggling alone like a single mother without any assisting maid and with the limited monthly household allowance given to manage a family (They would never give their entire salary to their wives to manage, indirectly created unconfident wives as they doubt their hubbies don’t earn much money as given family expenses are so limited) they wouldn’t care if their wives are working or not, whether if their wives still have their respective career ambitions, sometimes they would be very discouraging to their tired overstressed working wives until their wives quit working, “Even you work so hard, but your yearly salary won’t be earning more than my monthly salary!” Their wives hence never know what is called pocket money, a practice of Hong Kong married men, who would give their wives monthly household expenses and in additional specific pocket money either their wives work or not. Pocket money hence became a forever history which their wives’ parents would give them during their studying years and sojourns. Their educated modern wives suddenly got such awakening that their old folks are the greatest beings in this world rather than their hubbies who make them felt they were being cheated and buried in a marriage graveyard.

I heard some older ladies whose old husbands ended staying with their mistresses and children, making such hissing angry remark, “I hated my husband is because he controlled me tactically, he would go out with me paid everything I wanted to buy, though I never worried about what to dress, what to eat or where to travel, but he never gave me any single dime as pocket money, when I wanted to invite my friend for a cup of tea, I also didn’t have money, some friends might think that I was proud as I never wanted to go out with them, but nobody knew that I was penniless!”

These stuck-up dads don’t know a modern term called modern day parenting, their thoughts are very traditional though they can be very open-minded too (they would leave alone their children and wives freedom to do what they want when he is not with them) ….. In short they love to take all advantages of what they wanted to but leaving their silent unhappy wives to carry the sole modern day parenting duty. They think that they go out to work to earn money, with a limited amount they gave their wives in exchanged for their wives’ parenting duty, they would usually made a telephone call to their wives and they love to do that right in front of all their friends to show people that they are a good husband and a good daddy.

These men would have extra money to travel all over the world, donating to their associations or schools, driving a posh car and even flashing themselves in uptown social activities yet nobody has seem their wives or children appearing beside them, they would always made such excuses, “She is in Kuching with young children still schooling, thus I can’t bring her.” Their wives usually would drive a very old troubled car, usually a used unwanted car of their brothers or friends, even if their wives drive a brand new car, their other as traditional brothers would question their sister-in-law, “Why you drive a brand new car? I am richer than your husband, but my wife is still driving a used car!”

Other lady friends of these men also seldom met their wives as they can’t present their simple wives who didn’t have enough money to dress up themselves and to make friends with other lady friends ….. They simply didn’t know that their wives also need money to make friends too.

These men never learned that neglecting their own highly disciplined church-going-daughters at home in this modern era only one day might risk their hard earned reputation, they didn’t know their carefree behaviors with all responsible dump to their wives, their schools and their churches might be earning them shames. It will be too late when they get informed that their daughters are detained in China or Korean airport due to drugs trafficking, and they still caressing their lushly hair quite definite that they never applied any passport for their grown up daughters, “No. She never has a passport, how could she end up in China!”

They don’t know that their grown up daughters need a daddy to talk and confide to when they can’t talk to their respective moms (Odysseys behavior) and to guide them to look for a boyfriend perhaps. They didn’t aware that their unhappy neglected attention deprived daughters by a daddy might end up meeting stranger men in internet, potential involvement in different kind of scandals and risk social security.

In other serious cases, their tired, lonely angry wives even involved in scandals with internet lovers unknown to them. These men didn’t know that there are a larger numbers of con-men, felonies and criminals with all kinds of identities throwing out fishing hooks or waiting beside their computers to use their lonely, angry, neglected daughters and wives for their different criminal purposes.

Gawai got many wedding going on, so such silly men would loan their luxury cars to their relative’s friends for wedding or some senseless men would travel to JB for golfing! During Gawai holiday yet they were not returning home to see their wives and daughters, but who got time being helpful to take a whole car full of ladies from their church activities to go for dinners and visiting tourist attraction centers but got no time to return home to bring their kids for a movie, dinner or sit-down chat. Or even if they returned home a few days after Gawai New Year, due to they were partying late deprived of sleep, so when they returned home readily to get sick but instead they would blame their wives of “overwhelming” them, indirectly wanted their wives to feel guilty to avoid their wives from “interrogating” them!

If you have senseless unwise married male friends with any of the above symptoms, please email this article to show them …. But I know 99% of these men’s hobby is not reading!!!!

What My Mom Should Have Taught and Told me?






Written by Mrs. Money
Continued from last publish


How to clean a cup or a glass?

Are you kidding me? .... One of such simple chaos



One of my most memorable things kept in me was I once taught my deceased uncle how to wash coffee mugs. Periodically my aunty would prepare afternoon teas for their visiting nieces (many nieces), and once we left my uncle would wash those cups. But on the next afternoon tea moment, I always saw lipstick stains on the mugs, secretly I would wipe the stains away, this went on for ages, finally one day I followed him to the kitchen pretended talking to him while he washed his mugs, then I showed him the lipstains remained over his washed mugs and I taught him how to wash a cofee mug. He happily accepted my teaching, but with the following afternoon tea meet who knew that became our last "no lipstain" cups of coffee together! Only God knows how much I miss that kind of afternoon tea moment with my dad, uncle and aunty whenever I returned to my hometown.


Holidays, I got many guests-in-resident from my mother's side, I gave them my house rules from number 1 to 10. My mother never taught me how to wash a cup or a glass, so I knew that my grandma probably never taught her daughters, I was quite sure my cousins, nephew and nieces were not taught by their respective mothers of how to wash a cup and glass properly!


Did your mother ever teach you that washing a cup or glass rim with a dish detergent soaked sponge is more important than washing other parts of a cup or glass?


The fact is we drink through a cup or glass by smudging our lips to the rim, actually those lipstick stains on the rims reminded us of dirty trace better than those after used cups or glasses with invisible lip stains, so many people didn't wash their cups or glasses with a sponged and dish detergent just because they didn't grow such awareness and some of them might even think that their own lips are cleaner than others, they simply rinsed their used cups with water.


So remember to wash the rim of a cup, a mug or a glass with a sponge and dish detegent, no matter it is your own used cup or others!

Goodies in Kuching City Month of June, 2010


Shiso Plant
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perilla



Writen by Mrs. Money



Long school holidays on June, naughty children keeping at house but I am unable keeping them at bay ....... I only could sigh if not getting angry with those "growing" graffiti on bedroom. Every morning my five years old daughter would get up but first thing asking for TV instead of greeting me, “Good morning, mom!” She would close all the curtains, switched on the light and air-condition all over again, from her request to hissing to screaming until she won her threat to get her ways, “I don’t want to eat!”
“I don’t want to take shower!”
“I don’t want to go Qdees!”


My cousin just returned from Vietnam brought some of my favorite things: Most luxury silk scarf, different kinds of coffee and Vietnamese coffee-maker. Then she told me what were those herbs that she ate in Vietnam, something interested both of us is a herb called Shiso, she ate that in California and I ate that in NZ. It was about 5 years ago when the Japanese friend who gave me the shiso seeds was never being sowed with crying babies.


At first my cousin explored by herself until she found a shiso plant over a 5th mile nursery, but she told me, “They don’t want to sell!”
I told her, “May be you should talk to the boss!”
So yesterday I went with her to the nursery, I requested for the boss, a chef who normally cooked at the road side was considered as a boss by the Indo helper. She was a very disappointed lady; I thought that my cousin was alone that's why she was rejected , but with two tigresses meowing nicely we still got rejected, they neither wanted to give us a twig nor to sell us a twig. In fact my six-sense told me they were watching over us tightly, with that feeling I quickly pulled out my cousin and kids. Before we left, we ate outside the canteen, I asked the workers, “Where is your boss?”
“In India.”


I will never ever step in this kind of nursery anymore, I told my cousin, peoples who love herbs would be so willing to share with other herb lovers, we were willing to pay but they didn’t want to sell, so what’s the use of opening a big nursery with exclusive herbs to show but not to sell?! God knows I have connections all over the world, if I am desperated enough, I can even afford to fly in an exclusive seedling instead of being suspected by someone wanted to steal their "exclusive herbs!" I am quite definite that moneytaitai's garden got more exclusive herbs than this 5th mile nursery!


So my cousin and I popped in the regular nursery that we went, the owner’s name is Lisa, we asked Lisa if she has any shiso, at first she hesitated, “… No.” But as she was unsure so she bought us to see her herbs-lover mom, I asked her mom, “Do you have shiso?”
Out of all our surprises, “yes!” her mom replied and she told us that it’s the only shiso plant she got. She took it out from a corner of her herbal garden and even more out of our surprised, she said, “I give it to you!”
My cousin and I were both so touched, I told my cousin, “She got a true spirit of an herb lover who is always willing to share!”


Her daughter Lisa, even though runs a nursery next door, but when Lisa brought us to her mom’s garden, everything we wanted she would give us free, I remembered two years ago I brought my friends to visit the nursery but it happened was closed for holiday, so I went to Lisa’s parents and woke them up from siesta nap, her mom gave my friends some mulberry tea that really thrilled my friends. Three months ago, when I asked Lisa where I could get “South African Tree”, she just went to her mom’s garden cut off some twigs and passed to me, “For you!”
“How much?”
“No need to pay!” Now the SA twigs are growing very well in my garden, actually I am sipping the tea made from its leaves right now!


If you wish to contact Lisa for gardening services, she got some strong helpers too. I remembered I recommended my old classmate to a nursery along Stutong/BDC few months ago, the owner kind of slaughtered my old classmate and her gardeners very obviously were not fed probably, so I bought my old friend to Lisa again.


Lisa’s nursery is along Jalan Laksamana, Kuching.


Her contact is:
0165766518





Lisa's mother very kindly gave us her only shiso plant, my cousin and I were both so happy and thrilled!

HOW TO PREPARE CORAL GRASS HERBAL DRINK


Its fishy smell or even texture could ward off people

Coral grass herbal drink, kaffir leaves at bottom


Created and written by Mrs. Money for Angela

If you don't want to spend tons of money to buy birdnest, this coral grass is a very good alternative. It is a good alkaline drink full of minerals and surprisingly it has higher collagen than birdnest.
My advice for you is when you buy coral grass: Make sure that what you have purchased is not the bleached coral grass.
In Kuching you can buy coral grass from some organic shop or you can order directly from retailers from Kuching city through internet.
www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Japan/.../photo962425.htm


Coral Grass must be washed, changed water for at least 3 times within an hour and finally soaked in water for around another 5 to 8 hours, then store in refrigerator

To prepare coral grass herbal drink, prepare pandan leaves, lemon grass, citric peel and peppermint

Blend all the herbs with water, sieve and boil quickly


Soaked coral grass must eventually wash with kaffir leaves and limes or lemon to get rid of unwanted fishy smell


Let the coral grass soak in the water for while waiting for herbal juice to get boiled, throwing in coral grass but only allowed a second of boiling and then off the fire immediately. Before drinking add honey. Served hot is advised for all ladies.




ALTERNATIVE INNOVATIVE CORAL GRASS RECIPLE ON VIETNAMESE DESERT
Boil green peas (without husk) and arrow roots (cut in rectangular small pieces) together with water until soft, then add pandan leaves extract, shredded coconut meat (tender), coconut cream, sugar (or honey) and shredded seaweeds (so here you use coral grass as an alternative instead of seaweeds, or you just add coral grass as an extra ingredient)

A DIARY OF PINEAPPLE PLANTS


The best recommended fruit to plant along your fence!



It took around one and a half year to produce this yellow fruit!

Written by Mrs. Money


Pineapple plants need fertile soil and compost, it usually takes more than a year to bear fruit and takes around 6 months to get its fruit ripen.


With its sharp leaves, my dad advised me to plant along the fence to catch thieves!


There are different species of pineapples found in Sarawak state, a general friend told me he ate all different species of pineapples all over Malaysia, e.g. Bario, JB and Mukah species but for Sarikei's pineapple he thought it's the sweetest!

However I couldn't get the Sarikei pineapple species during the time I bought pineapples for their heads used to plant along the fence of my new house.



I planted 7 pineapple plants of different species along a side of fence, due to poor soil these plants still not yet bearing fruit!

After eating first pineapple, I saved its head for propagation. Soak in the water if you don't plant it immediately
Pineapple head used for propagation
Place this way down to the soil, bury an inch of the lowest portion into the ground, with good moisture, roots will soon be germinated from its underneath
Half of the first harvested pineapple, very sweet!

Pineapple ripen right from its tree, it's very satisfying to grow it!

Unidentified Plants Revealed


Hooray, it's tamarillo or tree tomato!


This is a tamarillo seedling, these unique heart-shaped leaves can get to almost a foot in length.

Written by Mrs. Money





Finally after almost 6 months on this date of May 19th, 2010. I got the unknown plant identified accidentally from a picture from You-Tube, only God knows I have wasted hours and hours from internet trying figure it out, I did suspect it's tamarillo but somehow the search got me to probably different species.




It is a tree tomato plant also known as tamarillo, actually the fruits were given by my aunt when she returned from NZ.

DO I HAVE ANY POLITICAL AWARENESS?

Written by Mrs. Money




Episode 1


A while ago, I read an intersting excerpt:

The cat who helped its master to catch rats but also eat his home fed chicken.

The moral of the story is really very sarcastic so I read on:
A little master wanted to throw away his household cat because besides catching rats, it also loved to eat his fed chicken, then his dad forbidded him to dump the cat. His dad's reason was, though the cat ate the chicken but it would protect the crops and household things lest the rats' demolished and threatened their harvest, he said, "The worst .... we just don't eat the chicken but our other things will be saved!"

So I come to a conclusion:
Let the premiers cruised on liners, ride on the Mercedes and RR, we just ride on proton, trains and bus, at least the country won't get "RATTED" up!




Episode 2

Right on the next morning after re-election in Sibu town, ones wouldn't be able to buy any Chinese newspaper after 9:00am!

I was in a coffee shop eating breakfast while listening gossips, a old male voice right next to my coffee table reached my ear:

"...... I told my wife ... you have married me from Sibu to my little pineapple town for exactly 50 years, how can your Queensway's drains are never constructed? There are like two little rivers along the side of a road during flooding or high tide .... people sitting along both sides fishing ... what a scene in the most populated richest men street of Sibu town! ........"

Grey on White Schoo Shoes


Why Chinese primary school students
went to school with white shoes
but returned home with grey shoes?!



Written by Mrs. Money



Mr. Money insisted his little money must study in Chinese primary school, his reasons .... I think wouldn't be much different from the rest of the Chinese-Malaysians' "China-men": We are Chinese; China is booming; Future success if doing business with the rest of Chinese around the world.

Last year, I always blamed and scolded the little Money who went to school with white shoes and socks on but returned home with grey shoes and socks.

Then few weeks ago, in a Friday morning when I sent the little Money to school, my eyes all a sudden looking down towards the floor and realized that 99% of these students wore dirty grey shoes, there was an exceptional 1% who came to school with new cleaned white shoes. When I took up my handphone wanted to take a photo of those grey dirty shoes, those smart students ran off with their mights!

So I went to see the school disciplinary-in-charged teacher, he told me he noticed the problem too, he found out it could be due to the cement that turned white shoes into grey in just a day of school.

So I have a doubt in my mind, "If this new primary school's cement floor dust good for students' lungs in a long term basis? Should the school asks to use compression to clean the cement throughoutly?"

I mocked meaningly at little Money, "Hi, your daddy made you study in the little China; you will get immuned and insensitive towards dirt, smelly and chaos. By the way your English, BM and Chinese now all become 'arang-arang'. Quantity becomes more important than quality!"



I hate Saturday when I have to wash all his grey shoes and grey socks, this cement dirt can't be wash by detergent, no kidding, recently I finally discovered "jiff" is the only best whitening agent to wash this stubborn grey off easier!

My old classmate's kids came to my house every Wednesday after school, I was surprised seeing them with after-school white shoes on, I wonder if every students in Lodge International returned home with white shoes still.


I talked to the disciplinary-in-charged teacher and questioned him why Lodge's students returned home with white shoes but not CH? He told me may be they don't have cement floor classrooms. That's why ones pay such high price to send kids to Lodge in a "little western country" instead of the "little China"!!!!
