I Am Stupid
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010It is true when they say: If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. What they did not add is that it will atrophy first. I have not done a lot of critical thinking lately. I have been taking it easy for a while now. My reactions are slow. I cannot hold a decent conversation with Wuan. I get easily distracted. My attention span is short, to say the least. The heat wave was a major factor. It makes me lethargic. Insomnia is the other. I am not exaggerating when I say I feel stupid of late, not that I was any smarter before this. The dearth of updates in this blog is proof of it. Woe is me.

Hei Sun Or Liu
Thursday, March 25th, 2010My sleeping hours have been out of sync lately. I get up just before Wuan goes to work, woken up by a full bladder. After I empty it, I cannot get back to sleep most of the time. I stay up and drift senselessly from one task to another, completing none. Sleep deprivation makes me moody. It disrupts my train of thought, Nothing is coherent. That heat and humidity exacerbate it, that is, until it rains cats and dogs in the evenings, like just now. I read in Twitter there was a hailstorm somewhere in Kuala Lumpur. That would have been exciting. No such luck where I am staying. Bummer. The air is cool now. I am getting back some of my sanity, obviously not enough to prevent me from blabbering here. Woe is me.

Steamy Mondays

Steamed vegetables – Australian potatoes, broccoli florets and carrot.
Every Monday, for the past few years, I have been having steamed vegetables for lunch. My favourites are several washed Australian potatoes, one small head of broccoli and one medium-sized carrot. The potatoes have to be Australian. Other potatoes do not taste as nice steamed. Wuan would cut them up and leave them in the refrigerator before she goes to work.
My lunch can be any time between noon to 3 pm. I would place the vegetables in a steamer standing over a rice cooker. What I like about the potatoes is that they impart a nice aroma when cooked. That aroma is also my cue to turn off the rice cooker and let the remaining heat cook the vegetables a little longer. I like my vegetables with generous dollops of butter, especially the broccoli florets. Yum!
