First we eat, then we do everything else

I don’t know why, but not many people believe me when I told them that I eat a lot, like super a lot. I’m that kind of person who need to munch something while working or studying. It’s quite a troublesome on weekend or in public holiday, where all my maids are taking their day off. I know I can just cook, but you know on holiday or any lazy week days all you want to do is just sit, laid back and just watch TV with food on your hand (who’s with me?) especially when it’s raining outside. So, as a student (which about to enter exams stressful month), magazine columnist, creative director and another 10 jobs (mother from 3 fat cats is one them) I work almost 24/7, seriously….  sleeping is start to look like 8 hours of wasting time. Am I tired? Well of course, this body of mine isn’t made from steel (but my heart does though… hehehe) Am I happy? Absolutely. How do I keep myself happy? Good food is definitely one of the secret weapon, hehehe. 

That’s why I’m creating “Self indulging – I can eat anything I want to eat day” So, I use to have my indulgence day on Sunday (because of course I still work on Saturday). The problem is (also a blessing in disguise) on Sunday is also a day off day for my assistant and my maids. So, no one cooks, my sisters go with their dates and I’m of course too lazy to cook. And what’s the solution? HAIL TO DELIVERY SERVICE FOOD! Hahaha… I’ll wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is scrolling list of restaurant menu and I always, try to find the near one though, I don’t like to have my food all-soggy. Back in the old days, I have to do all tiring things like… Collect restaurant flyer menus, call the restaurant and what frustrating is when the price is sometimes changed, the menu changed and all that irritating stuff. But then the world evolve and most of restaurant have website now, so what I do browsing on the web, searching the phone number, calling them (it’s frustrating, because the line is always busy and I have to call and call again).  So my fellow hungry friend worry not, because I have found the perfect solution (I can’t help to feel a bit like Merlin the sorcerer now hahaha) recently I’ve made my delivery order through with this ordering food apps called Food Panda. So, it’s basically an apps to order food from your nearest area and you can browse all from your smartphone. To check it, you can just go to their website to see how the things work yourself in here Food Panda or  you can download the apps in here Food Panda Apps  .  So far I’m a very happy customer, now you’ll find me scheduling my indulgence day menu from lunch to dinner.  So yeah this girl who got question a lot about diet, is actually having burger for breakfast, tacos for lunch and chinese food for dinner. Hehehe. And here’s a bonus. Me and my burger king that I just ordered. Hehehe.

Dressing Up To Walk The Dog

When I saw this woman walking on the Upper West Side I was reminded of what my grandmother used to tell me. Everyday she would get up, comb her hair, put on some lipstick and tell us," You must always greet the world by looking your best. You never know who you will run into while walking the dog or fetching the mail."

My dear friend, Sarah Jane A.KA. Saramai has been spending the last few weeks in New York, in celebration of her 60th birthday. We first me in Sydney after her daughter tagged me in a photo of Sarah from her instagram page and I have been following her adventures ever since. I was thrilled to hear that she would be coming to visit America for  the first time and that New York would be her first stop. Samarai is one of the loveliest, boldest, and most outspoken women that I have ever met(Check out a post she wrote about being proud of your stripes HERE.)

I finally had the chance to meet model and actress, Jacky O'Shaughnessy. Jacky's career took off when she was discovered in a cafe in New York City a few years ago, leading to several campaigns for American Apparel. We had a wonderful afternoon chatting about her burgeoning career in fashion and I can't wait to see what she will do next!

Prime Time: MoMA's Older Adult Program Initiative Launches This Saturday

Ever since my mom gave me my first Claude Monet book, I have been obsessed with going to museums. I have always loved getting lost in the galleries, people watching and meditating upon an inspired work. When The Museum of Modern Art asked me to help launch Prime Time, their brand new programming and outreach initiative aimed to engage older New Yorkers at the Museum, in the community, and online, I was absolutely thrilled. To kick off the initiative, MoMA is offering all visitors ages 65 and up free admission on Saturday, May 9, from 10:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m.

The day will also feature free gallery talks, entertainment and art making workshops, including a jewelry making workshop led by Debra Rapoport and a live figure drawing session featuring Joyce Carpati, Lana Turner, Debra and Carol Markel. The museum is also offering NYC residents 65 and up 50% off admission and $25 off new annual memberships for the the month of May!

The ladies are planning their outfits as we speak, so grab all your friends 65 and up and head to MoMA on Saturday for an inspiring day of creative activities.
