Bengbeng is making a comeback. Finally after being in and out of hospital for eight months, I have the confidence I have left the whole episode behind me. Tonight I attended a committee meeting of the Sarawak Chenshi Taijiquan Association. As usual everybody was very kind and warm.

Quit smoking cold turkey

I have stopped smoking finally. It is day twelve and now I have the confidence that I can quit smoking. I did it cold turkey. No more fooling myself by cutting down or reducing the number of sticks. I don’t smoke just to remind myself how much I hate smoking. Neither do I smoke just so as not to hurt the feelings of others who offer me one. Now I just say, “No, thank you.”

Occasionally we get an ‘urge’ to taste Asian food different from the usual fare we cook at home.Thus when we heard Hooi Hing had sent some manuka honey to Bengbeng, we just had to sample Java Room food. In this pic taken by Hooi Hing, you can see Glenn and me, my sister Nini and Peter.

Hi, I am Diana. I am the latest guest blogger. How are you all? 
I am with my friend Denys from Melbourne here. I have so few pics of myself alone. It feels uncomfortable to take a pic of myself all by myself. As I mature, like most other people I don’t like to take close-up pics either. Not unless I look like Elizabeth Taylor in her youth or Lucille Ball.

Perception is awareness, comprehension or an understanding of something. Reality is a the quality or fact of being real. Sometimes perception and reality are very close and sometimes they differ widely. The facade that constitutes/ encompasses a human being is sometimes veiled by a thin veneer of civility and courtesy. In society this is often regarded as putting on a real face/ brave face / mask. The richer, well heeled and connected folks often find themselves questioning the sincerity of those around them and their motives. Those who possess less worldly possessions theoretically live a more honest life with fewer assumptions.
