taking it as it comes
i am alive and well. apologies for not posting lately, i've gotten out of the swing of this blogging business. i'll work at posting more (:
so i work at kiwanis down syndrome foundation (KDSF), established september 1989. it is a school for children with down syndrome starting at the age of 2 months up to six years. the purpose is to prepare the children to attend public schools and equip them with basic skills for life and maximize their potential.
i work with the 5 & 6 year old class the most, but sometimes i assist with the 3 & 4 year old class. the students come monday through thursday at either a morning or afternoon session. each session is three hours long. the teachers (and i) arrive are expected to arrive at 8:30am and stay till 4:30pm. we have an hour lunch break at noon.
lunch: turns out my family doesn't have to provide lunch for me but luckily they have let me pack a lunch to help me save money. if i don't pack a lunch i can pay 5 ringgit for the school chef, uncle mike, to make me something (he typically makes some sort of noodles or rice- surprise surprise, that's what you always have here-- but you can request something a little more specific. ie fried rice or noodles with no beef. you can't get too specific). or some of the ladies go out for lunch, but most just buy from uncle mike monday through thursday. then on friday we all go out together to a restaurant.
the ladies that work there are so sweet! they are all so kind to me and i've made some friends. a few have even invited me out to eat, go shopping, or to travel with them on the weekend. i have only gone shopping so far. i am going to church, i believe?, tomorrow with one of the girls. then next weekend i have dinner plans with another lady to eat at an indian restaurant, banana leaf. a few of them leave on the weekends to go to their home towns and have invited me to come sometime. i really want to make that happen so i can see some villages and local beaches. fit in some malaysian site seeing on the weekends.
transportation: the house i am at currently has issues with this. which is why it is a temporary house for me. every day is a hassle trying to get to work and back. i should have been posting updates about that every day.. it's been eventful. so in order to go out i have to call a cab and that is very expensive. so i try and get rides as often as possible but all the people i know live on the opposite side of town. so i get rides half-ish way to shopping malls and then grab a cab.
cabs: they are not always safe. lots of times the driver is from indonesia and speaks very poor english, if any at all. they don't always know where places are (and i clearly can't give directions..). they don't always use the meter and will force you to pay more because i'm foreign. if you call one to come to you it is a two more ringgit. they tend to drive slow or take the long path and since i don't speak bahasa i can't argue or tell them anything.
so i stay around the house waiting to see what the parents are going to do.. most the time, it's nothing. or the dad will leave to golf and the mom will be at work. i miss having a car. luckily the house is very nice and i am comfortable here. i love my bed and own bathroom. i read, nap, watch movies, walk on the treadmill, journal, color.. yes i color (got a couple sheets from kiwanis).
this weekend: not too eventful. jeffery, my host brother, left for australia this morning. he is going there for a year and half to study. so now the parents are just relaxing around the house since it's been nuts preparing for him to leave over the past week. we did have a huge function monday night here at the house with probably a hundred people in attendance. hmm, i think i'll go to church tomorrow and then go out to the markets with the mom. this is said without certainty because i never truly know what is to come anymore. i only know what is happening about ten minutes in advance now-a-days. i might try and telephone of some afs student volunteers tonight to see about going to the cinema (as they call it).
i don't want to post too much so that way you will actually bother reading.. at least i know when i see a long article i tend to skip it. i'd read more articles of shorter length than one long one. so i shall post tomorrow, promise.
also, no update still on a permanent family.. but it has been requested to send me letters to my work place so i figure that should be a-okay. address as follows:
Lot 13490, Jalan Jenjarum
Off Jalan SS23/1
Taman SEA
47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
kiwanis website: Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation
i'm learning this lesson currently:
i have no real control of what is to come.
my ways of constantly planning, feeling like i have a complete grasp on tomorrow, are vanishing. lately, the most of the future He allows me to know is what is coming in the next ten minutes. example: (i lay my head down at night not always knowing how i'll even get to work).
the Lord has a plan.
He is in control.
all i can do is be silent and listen. He will prepare you if you are obedient to His commands.
gotta have faith.
^^^i'm working on this ability/lifestyle. not easy for me. i love "having" control. i'll be honest.
keep praying!

xīn nián kuài lè
the chinese new year lasts a total of fifteen days.. yeah. no joke. quite the process.. someday i want to stay in hong kong or somewhere in china for the whole celebration. mark my words. it is truly fascinating. so much history.
lion dance! so i finally got to see a lion dance. this has to do with the chinese new year. i live with malays so i wasn't surrounded with chinese new year celebrations or information but they did inform me somewhat. so this is what i gathered: chinese families will hire a lion dance company to come to their home because the belief is that this blesses your home and wards off evil spirits. this is crucial to do when a family has recently moved into a new home.
botta boom botta' bang: that's why they have the drums and later in the night pop fire crackers. they are the noisy kind, not the big beautiful ones. (i mean, sure in the big cities they'll have a display show but fireworks are illegal here to begin with but since it has to do with their beliefs, they get away with the noisy ones).anywho, the lion performs doing a dance and stunts then he will take a melon/oranges and crouch down to prepare it, then he lifts up and pushes it out for the head of the house to receive. after that the family will have the lion come through the home to brush it's paw on tables/beds etc. to bless it. companies/schools will have celebrations too and hire the lion to come perform. this was a low key lion dance.. i really would love to see one of the famous lion dances with the dragon dances as well. (like in mulan!!?) ahah. i asked if they had any parades like that and nobody knew what i was talking about...
also, they give out red envelopes, also called hong bao (mandarin), which have money inside. they will hand them to the lion dance performers but it is tradition to give them to all who are unmarried. once you are married, you give one to your parents and then you must give to all who are unmarried. oranges: these represent gold for their color and that they will bring wealth. so everyone is giving/getting mandarins. every business has them as well as every home. for the past two weeks i have had more mandarins than ever before in my life.
red, translates to: "prosperous" and it is everywhere. reason: suppose to ward off evil spirts and scare off bad fortune. but it also symbolizes virtue and sincerity.
gold: brings wealth and luck.
i know they gamble a lot during the new year so men will gather and play poker during the nights. one night we had six men over and they played well into the morning playing poker and TEXAS HOLD 'EM. i felt a fool for not knowing how to play... so i walked on the treadmill and read instead of sitting watching them play and chain smoke for hours.i wish i had more to share about the new year... especially since it lasts so long. but i know that most of the chinese people around here even leave for quite a bit of the holiday to go home to the husband's parents home. so kuala lumpur was pretty quiet for a few days.
lastly, mcdonalds celebrates the chinese new year with selling a prosperity burger. i snapped a shot of the advertisement i saw promoting their double prosperity burger for y'all. they apparently do this every year with offering a "chicken" or "beef" burger. i'm not trying this food. sorry guys.

bad news barista.
let's do coffee.
geographical event.
i never realized this until malaysia.
america: i thought that meant, we're meeting up at a coffee shop (most likely starbucks) and we'll chat while sipping on beverages for a short while. then we go our seperate ways.
-no foods are forced.
-most the time women in america will split a pastry and blush at the deciding to get it.
-or they will reject it all together.
-hell, or you will buy yourself something and chow down on your own without any guilt... well maybe some guilt.
point is, the food aspect. that is your decision in america. your fate has not been set out before you. the decision lies in your hands, and you fear not offending anyone with whatever decision is made.
malaysia: that means people are coming over or we're going there.
we might have a meal first?
or some sort of food will be served. <<<that i guarantee.
you must receive the food.
eat.
you may, if your name is talley: slip it into your purse / toss it below the table / "accidentally" spill / sneak it onto another plate / below the plate / give dish quickly to maid / hide food with orange peel-- got caught on that one / sneak food onto child's plate / -or if you're a pro, spit into a napkin
(another thing, they never have napkins?)
then coffee or tea will be offered.
let's expand on this shall we.
they all drink instant coffee?!!?!??!!!!
questioned it.
pushed it away.
fought it.
then hesitantly slurpped.
began to drink it.
dealt with it.
slowly requested it.
now i make it...
this upsets me to think about. i miss coffee. real coffee. i want nothing more than to grind some beans and steam some milk (not weird cardboard box milk either might i add, i want my organic cold horizon milk or i'd take braums but not this. not this room temperature wanna be milk nonsense).
i want a venti casi cielo coffee with one inch of 180 degree foamy whole milk with cinnamon on top.
fedex me one please. thanks.
back to the explanation of this event:
so when they bring out your coffee- it will have a teaspoon in it, because you have to stir it since it is made with instant coffee crystals...
they all put sugar in it and rarely ever do they put milk.
this always calls for trouble for me: i never put sugar in coffee.
if anything, i'd accept milk in it. i had them take my coffee back twice now due to sugar.
i can't and i won't do it. i'm not that polite. it's icky to my tongue. sorry world.
if they put milk, it is the box milk. which is most often soy.
then they bring some sort of crazy dessert that i hesitate to put in my mouth
--for those of y'all that don't know me well.. i'm not a dessert person to begin with, then these desserts.. they are hmmm, interesting one would politely state. maybe it is my poor dessert palate? i'll take that.
if i'm lucky, i get fresh fruit. this, now this i live for.
yummy fresh fruit in my tummy.
until they make me finish the plate so none goes to waste...
then it takes away from the beauty.
this hasn't happened but a couple times,
so don't view it negatively. just know, it can happen.
that is coffee talk.

answers to questions.
ahah, mom. thanks, i do enjoy writing. i'm gonna try and answer all your questions. here i go.
1. the marshmallow hidden camera would end up in a monkeys belly and i'd probably end up in jail? ahah, i don't know if it is legal or not to feed them? i play everything safe here. i prefer to not get in trouble. they have double standards. but doesn't everywhere?
2. i will work on picture snapin' and postin' for you and everyone else. i took a ton of photos at the beginning then i stopped. question mark.
3. we went for coffee at that home... we do that everywhere. i was actually getting online to post about "coffee" so, i'll do that next. therefore, refer to my post for further explanation.
4. i am still in love with their home. felt i should state that.
5. due to the chinese new year, i am still not informed of anything. i have no solid answers. i am taking my days as they are given to me. the most i know of the future is what may come in the next ten minutes. i'm having a difficult time with this. i love plans. i love knowing the future, or at least feeling that i have a grasp on what is to come. for the first time in my life i am having to accept that i have no real control of the future. i have given it all to the Lord. may his will be done with my days here and furthermore, my life.
6. as soon as i have a solid address i will do a "hallelujah hannah" (mallory, remember her???!) dance then post some information for y'all.
7. i'm not missing y'alls weather. not one bit.
8. my favorite number.
9. current weather outside my window: storm galore. thunder that will jolt you to your toes. i'm into it. i am sitting backwards on the bed to face the windows where i am able to watch the sky pour itself out so much that the grass can't drink it quick enough.

no sense of time
currently i am sitting outside beside the fountain with a breeze blowing through my hair while listening to motor bikes and the maid's young daughter teach malay to another foreign traveler from panama.
the weather is (:
i can't get enough of this spanish style home/life. --i would refer to it being spanish.. i hope they don't see this and say "it is malay style!" ahaha. but i know y'all will understand my comparison. i think?
dinner yesterday:
squid with red chilies in oil
prawns with cabbage, onion, peppers, green chilies in oil
fried triangle thing with stuff in it? -i managed to avoid.
cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes
white rice
dessert:
coffee
mandarin oranges, bananas, cat eyes (which are fruit but they look like cat eyes)
they also had chocolate bark available
*got distracted, got back to this post many hours later*
i could make constant posts on the food alone. i have eaten more strange things in the past few days than ever before in my life. every meal, something new. and there are a lot of meals. i have learned to take as small as a portion as possible with being socially acceptable because most likely, i'm going to be fed again very very soon.
for instance:
went for a walk
went out for breakfast
went to visit a house- fed again
went home-
had food offered
then fruit was put out
bike ride
read
went to aunts for "rice" which was late lunch?
served deserts and coffee
came home for "supper"
time delay: read
went downstairs once supper was finished
then fruits and chocolate were served
**time to expand:
so the park: wow! beautiful. i took some photos but they said it was bare and the water was funny colored because of the heavy rain last night so i refrained from posting. we will go back. apparently the mom goes every saturday and sunday morning. and that's when a waterfall should be turned on, the park full, and thai chi lessons are taking place in the middle of the park! so i will be sure to snap more photos.
MONKEYS!! yes it is true. they had them all over the park. i don't know what else to say other than holy moly! i saw monkeys, not one, but many many monkeys and there was no glass between us. they sat on the trash bins, or walked across the sidewalk, or hopped between trees. i'll try and get some sneaky photos of those too!
the mansion/resort/swiss family robinson/paradise: the steep secluded drive way was so far up the mountain that my ears popped on the way to the gate. they had a special gate with their own guards. there was eh, who knows how many cars (not hondas either ahaha) i'd guess sixteen cars? i think more. i'll make them sound modest. HAH. actually, the family was very humble. there are six seperate towers. one is a grand big home, one is the guest, one for the daughter who actually lives in australia, two for each of the sons, and one for the maids/gardeners/guards/driver. then they all surround the pool and they overlook kuala lumpur. they have covered seating every where with outdoor kitchens and so much plant life. they have monkey problems here, which i found humorous but nobody else does... i guess if this were home i'd be upset too if monkeys came through my windows and got into my food or threw the coconuts at my car. i'd actually be really upset. this place was incredible. i wanted to take photos but i figured that'd be really odd for everyone.. so i didn't. but it was gorgeous! so so peaceful.
most interesting meal today: late lunch:
dried anchovies with curry powder and heated (i tried to explain... i'll get back to you all more on this thing)
fried eggs with a sauce of onions, peppers, oyster sauce, and sweet soy
curried lady fingers with fish
cabbage and carrots cooked with some oil
white rice
tea and this green water (due to the plants they put in it)

i pray more.
i miss home.
i love life.
i embrace malaysia.
