So we are now on the 8th day of January 2011. I really don't know why I am doing this as I never followed on with my initial blog last year.
I am getting a bit bored in the land of facebook now but I am still keeping it on as it's a good way for me to keep in touch with my family and friends back in Malaysia.
Maybe when I started with the blog last year, the 'hunk' tried to correct my grammar and said he was only trying to help and that really put me off. I merely gave him a disgusted look a few times and commented that my grammar may not be right but malaysian will understand it and I AM A MALAYSIAN . I also thought - 'hey, whatever, I can spell better than you white lot on your own language'.
So, finger's crossed, I can keep this up in between my busy, hectic lifestyle.
I'll try to share what I am thinking (but mostly the contents of my brains are full of rubbish, veering off in different directions and various topics at the same time), what I am eating ( food is important to me) and what I am doing at the moment.
OK.... let's start.....with 2010....
That was a busy year for me.. I started off with a little hobby the year before and it spiralled out of control. I did one course after another (in the holistic/complimentary field) in 2010 as I couldn't get enough of it. I am happy with the achievements so far, what started as a hobby is now a little business with a small, steady stream of clientele.... I am now doing my Level 4 in Sports Massage, hopefully I will get through it and continue into my Level 5 this year. It is such hard work- I've got to do events and my last one will be tommorow morning in the freezing cold again- giving millions of pre and post event massage out to participants of a 10K run!!!
I also started working in a GP practice in January 2010 which I am quite surprised that despite a little bump here and there, I am quite contented there. The staffs has been good to me so far and I am surprised I have achieved quite a lot since I started. I wasn't keen at first but now....I have a steady stream of patients that comes and see me....or rings for various stuff. I am still not keen on the triage bit but that was the main reason for the job- to do the triage bit. Thank god, it's mostly only 2 hours in the afternoon but i do help out in the mornings when it is busy and I am in between patients.
I love knitting and crocheting and FOOD of course. I set myself goals for knitting and crocheting stuff as Christmas presents but since I was so busy with work, trying to fit clients in. I am ashamed to say that there has only been 1 recipient of crocheted shawl for Xmas 2010. I still have a tail, fins and eyes to complete a gold fish for Chloe, a half crocheted necklaces full of flowers for Su Yin and a half crocheted lacy shawl for my sister and a little crocheted monkey for Sophie... Well, I did say that my thoughts are all scattered, the results are scattered projects.
Ian and Uncle Rex has paid for me to attend 2 knitting workshops in January and Febuary this year- one is for a knitted journal and the other is to learn how to knit socks... so now my aim is everyone will be getting socks for christmas 2011... after all I have a lot of unused yarns so don't get upset if you get mismatched coloured socks this year.
Food is constantly on my mind. I got to bed at night with food on my thought- what i am going to ear tommorow, what have I got in the fridge to cook, etc etc. I dream of food and sometimes I also dream of the smell of food that I can't get over here but at the hawker's stall in Malaysia. SO I think my blog will be full of pictures of food as was on my FB profile! Last night, I cooked a pot of chicken curry, i've not had any yet but its' almost gone. The hunk has been enjoying them too much. so tonight I thought I will cook something that the Hunk is not keen on- Char Bee Hoon. And since i found some Yam bean in Manchester the other day, I am thinking it's time for homemade spring rolls. Yam Bean is quite a rare find here, especially in Derby. So, I've been to the Chinky shop in derby and bough some tofu... now, I have to chop all various veg up and cook the filling for my spring rolls.
Right, I am getting hungry so I am off to cook.....
