Hello there, beloved readers!

I know I haven’t written a blog entry in a while since this post, and it’s majorly due to work & other priorities. I hope this post breaks the routine for me and I’ll be back in action and blogging regularly for all of you again!

For those of you who are following me on Instagram, you would know what I’ve been up to every day. Namely, work, gym, cooking, being a plant mom, being a kitty mom, TikTok-ing, Instagramming, writing and more writing.

I have a full-time job and numerous freelance jobs – sis works hard for her monies, ya know what I mean? 🥺 And if sis doesn’t make money, sis can’t shop online and that will make me a very sad sis 😂😂

Speaking of online shopping, it’s that time of the year again. And no, I’m not talking about Christmas, but the annual 9.9 massive online sale! It’s where everyone makes huge purchases online, bulk purchases, hoard more cute (and sometimes) practical stuff, buys random gifts for others and (admittedly) buys things they want but don’t need. 🛍 🛒

Ladies and gents, I have finally regained access to my lost blog! haha. anyhow, this was 2006’s blog and i have already relocated to LiveJournal in 2007 and i moved BACK AGAIN to blogspot. it has my whole life and happenings on it, everything. AND NOW, AFTER A SEASONED 4 YEARS OF BLOGGING, I HAVE MY OWN DOMAIN.

I have always loved doing things for good causes, like charities or maybe even just filling up a poor beggar’s coin-container with some cash. But what happened today with a Buddhist/Taoist/Japanese/Thai/whatever monk hell freaked me out. The accused in question was almost like a persistant and aggresive credit card promoter! 

Hubby and I were just hangin around book-shopping in Borders, Queensbay Mall when we were approached by a rather elderly monk draped in amber robes with huge beans.. oops, beads I meant, dangling from his neck. Not wanting to offend him, we patiently listened as he rambled on in Chinese… supposedly something about his religion?? He then pressed a card with some Chinese characters printed on it, into our palms. Even as Christians, the both of us graciously accepted it with thanks just for the sake of respect. I mean, he’s seems nice and harmless so I clearly see no point in stemming his momentum. 

Before we knew it, he brandished a machete and a cleaver at us. 

Obviously not.

He whipped out a clipboard with a list of people’s names who respectively donated RM20 and waaay above. With raised eyebrows, we gave each other a baffled look. *gosh* It was obvious that we looked stumped but he didn’t give a rat’s ass about us, instead, he kept insisting we donate as well. YOU SON OF A GUN! How are we supposed to determine if you really are a registered monk seeking for charity or just one of those BOGUS MONKS cheating the public of their hard-earned money? We then politely declined but he became more aggresive. C’mon, Jess has to do something! Left between the devil and the deep sea, I signalled to one of the staff at the corner of my eye. Thankfully, she came to our rescue and courteously told the monk off.

What was next? He stormed off in a huff and snatched back the card which he insisted we should keep, not too long ago. What a scam! Like, seriously, if all you wanted to do was to spread the truth about your religion, then go ahead… we were courteous enough to listen anyway. Just compare him to the Swedish pastor standing outside my college handing out free bibles for all. Now, that’s the ethical and proper way of doing it. 

Begone, you bogus-imitation monk! Giving a bad impression of monks around the world.

Yes, it’s finished. Over and done with.

In case you were wondering why my long-suppressed pessimistic nature has gotten the better of me, if you haven’t noticed, today is FRIDAY THE 13TH you nincompoop! Ahyes, it is recognised worldwide that today is the day where everything goes wrong. Hmm, so unleash that superstitious freak in you and keep vigil at alltimes. Who knows? There is danger lurking behind every rock. *sniggers*

Just in case you were curious on whether you will die today on this tragic date (or will not) or die some other time when the time is right, detour to this website to find out.  Once you’ve done it, I’ll tell you my results.
