When I grow old...
I don't want to nag at my children and grand children to wake up every 10 minutes on weekends once the sun comes up, or nag at them to bring an umbrella out so they won't get wet on a sunny day, or to ask the whereabouts of every single family member every half an hour.
I don't want my grand kids to hate me.
I don't want to be a difficult mother/grandmother to take care of.
I don't want to ask to pick up the telephone when actually it's the phone in the TV that's ringing.
I don't want to be asked to shut up and just go lie down and sleep cuz I nag too fucking much.
I don't want to have a goldfish memory and keep asking to be bathed or whether I've had my meals.
The list can grow on and on.
When I grow old, I want to be sane and lucid enough to be loved. I want to leave this world with everyone having fond memories of me. I want to die before I become senile or suffer dementia. What's the point of living to a ripe old age when ripe is not what I want to be. Skip and bring me right to the rot part.

Namaste
I went for my very first yoga class and it was quite alright. Trying to catch on the yoga lingo and names of the poses was a bit tough. Needed to concentrate on breathing while getting the right posture wasn't easy too. I think the teacher was great. 1 hour in class with lots of stretching and breathing and feeling the inner beautiful self (which I've yet to feel) triggered some emotions at the end of the class when the teacher said to breathe in deeply, and be thankful for the blessings we have, and to feel at peace with oneself. It was a good class. Definitely want to make full use of the one week pass to unlimited classes.
If you're interested, look for the Pure Yoga ad banner on Channel News Asia's website and register for a free one week pass. Plus point about Pure Yoga, the bath cubicles have rain-showerheads. Not that I have been to the other yoga centres to compare, but I think they really have a nice environment. Of course, membership doesn't come cheap.
I think my body is rejecting exercise of any sort. I felt nauseous after class, and puked in the car park. Last friday after gym, I felt nauseous but not bad enough to regurgitate.
What's wrong with my body? This is clearly a sign that I've stopped exercising for too long now.
Shall sleep this sick feeling off.

shittybank
Shittybank pissed me off yesterday because they claimed they are unable to waive off annual fee of all mastercards this year because there's no such promo. WHAT PROMO?! I don't care if there's no promo. My annual fee was waived off last year. If it costs me $150 to have the card, I'd rather not have it. Then the customer service person whom I was talking to reminded me that it's not worth it to terminate my card because I have 2 installment payments on my mastercard. If I wish to transfer the payments to my other shittybank card, I will need to pay $200. So she tempted me with 3200 shittypoints if I pay my annual fee, or I could convert these points into Krisflyer miles. Still it not worth it. I have spent so much on my mastercard, it's absurd that the fee cannot be waived. Big deal, I'll just pay off the oustanding installments on my mastercard and terminate it then. But still she insists any change in the installment plans will incur me $100 per plan. Doesn't make any sense that I need to pay additional $200 to pay all the money I owe up-front when it's supposedly an interest-free installment right. So I insisted that I will not pay the extra money, and I want to pay everything I owe on this card, and terminate the freaking card cuz NO I WILL NOT PAY ANNUAL FEE CUZ NO ONE PAYS ANNUAL FEE. I think I was pretty rude at this point that she didn't bother being polite with me. I asked to speak to her manager and kept insisting I won't pay for anything. She put me on hold for about 10s and said management will approve my fee waiver.
Too bad I didn't have the chance to threaten to terminate the other card and my savings account to boycott shittybank for $150 annual fee which I'm damn sure no one pays for it. Maybe they will waive off my fee and give me 3200 shittypoints if I did that.
Remember. No one pays annual fee.
