Bye Bye Everyone (for a while)


On my way to meet my client and am using the hot towel to clean my screen – my client has a pet peeve about dirty screens. Patchy screens will immediately be hijacked and suddenly you will see her scrubbing away in the middle of the meeting. If its beyond her repair, she will hand the whole laptop over to her admin for total sterilization… I better start polishing my screen now and shine it on her face later, hope to gain three stars at the start of the meeting.

Anyway I have am blogging in flight because finally I have personal time. “Blog about me, blog about me..” I hear that from Ken and recently Chris!!! Haha yes but in terms of hierarchy of importance, I need to first blog about – Recyclable Enzymes!

Whoever thought of this brilliant idea is a true contributor to the world. Let me explain for those who now look confused.

Industries use enzymes to speed up chemical reactions, in the case of washing powder, such enzymes attach themselves to surfaces and run chemicals past them, hence cleaning dirt and stains. Enzymes are expensive and currently after each wash, they get drained away. The new big idea is to soak clothes in small quantity of enzyme infused detergents then wash the load in cheaper non enzyme infused detergent. Clothes actually become cleaner and the detergents used for soaking can be recycled up to 200 times!!! BANG!! Wah!! I can testify to that because my mum always practice this method claiming white clothes will be whiter! She never knew the science behind why but now I know!!! Gonna get off this freaking plane and tell my mum the breaking if not frivolous news of the month.

Back to loved ones - Ken had a theory. In life we have a choice. A choice to be happy, a choice to be sad. A choice to be slim, a choice to be fat. A choice to be fat and happy (I think that is what he is trying to say). A choice to go to the airport at midnight from home, a choice to go to airport from old airport road… SUPPER!!! This husband of mine, sure knows how to make me happy!! Sugar cane juice and satay here I come!

Anyway he makes logical sense. Life can be a mad rush that one forget about simple important things like being fat and happy at the same time. Walked past the mirror one day and saw a gigantic slab of cellulite, if not for the fact that I was so intrigued by how extensive it can spread, I would have fainted on the spot. Its ok, Megan can easily revived me with her loud “mummy mummy” while jumping up and down on my body.

For a moment, I thought of Chris introducing Carb Blockers to me. You see, Chris is tall and hatefully slim. Even female masseurs try to seduce him. “ you have such good body…. Are you a model? Your shoulders are so straight and broad… oh you better take off your clothes, your muscles are ripping them apart…” Imagine me trying to suppress my laughter by swallowing it and pretending to sleep and not hear a thing in the neighboring bed. Almost died. Back to the future, now that I see that cellulite in the mirror, I think back on why my masseur remain silent throughout my massage, while Chris’s masseur praised and seduced. Pushing slabs of fat from left to right is hmmm nothing to rave about. DAMN. I do need Carb Blockers after all.

Happier news – Ken and me are going to leave for Barcelona for much needed personal time this weekend. We chose Spain because my air miles are expiring in a big way and because Euro is weak. Just yesterday, heard news of Spanish banks going down and dragging the economy and currency further downhill. Yeah but no Yeah… Got to be sensitive to others...

Alex tried hard to get us a friends and family rate for MO Barcelona but it was all booked out!!!! Peter Kelly called and told me all the exciting stories and swear to email me maps and contacts before vaporizing into thin air… Thank you so much Peter! V helpful indeed. Ken was suppose to take care of the Pyrenees then gave up and say why dun he just take care of the tapas, paella part... Oh well. Desperate in packing because can't fit into any pair of jeans -oh curse the jeans. So many things to do and nothing done. 

Anyway tentatively, bye bye Singapore and everyone!!!!! Do not contact us!!! If I am bored enough to actually blog in Spain, I will (try)…. Cheers... Oh? why this blog no photos? Of coz lah, who got time to upload photos before a big trip!!!!
