As some of you may already know, I was a bit depressed recently over some personal problems and reading the news. It lasted for awhile before I eventually snapped out of it. So, what did I do to get over this bout of depression?
Here are my tips on how to get over my depression:
1. Read 5xmom’s blog – this auntie sure does tap out interesting and in recent times, morbid, blog posts that are bound to distract you from your own miseries. And no, she is not paying me to say this.
2. Grab some chocolates – according to some facts found on cocoa-chocolate.com, chocolate contains natural anti-depressant called theobromine, in other words, the happy chemical that puts you in a better mood. Trust me, it works after I swallowed like a million tons of chocolate!
3. Stop reading the news – seriously. The news are getting way too depressing.
4. Watch cartoons all the time – I don’t know about you but I simply love tom and jerry, the roadrunner, Dexter’s Lab, Spongebob Squarepants, etc, etc…
5. Start reading light trashy fiction books – ideally, go for comedy romances (if you are a woman) or just plain humour books. Me, I go for fantasy and even some humour erotica (downloaded ebooks since it is banned here).
6. Use google to your advantage – I googled this ‘Foong loves’ and come up with silly results such as “….Foong loves to look at fish….”, “Foong loves being BEi Hou Ling”, “Foong loves allen”, “Foong loves her voice oh so fucking much”, etc. Not surprisingly, my blog didn’t turn up in the search because I seldom use the words “foong loves” in my posts. I also googled different combinations of my name and some other actions.
7. Have a chat with God – no, lah, not the real God, you think I am that religious meh? I’m talking about the iGod lah. I had a chat with God awhile back and thought it was fun to try it again just for old time’s sake. For those more religious and holey holier than me, don’t go there. Try your real God instead.
8. Play silly games with my son – there is nothing more refreshing and fun than laughing and giggling with a toddler who finds enjoyment in practically anything from running around aimlessly to tickling.
9. Stop thinking – admittedly, it was too much thinking and thinking and thinking that got me so down. I had to rethink my thinking so that I could stop thinking what I was thinking too much of so that my thinking does not gets over-think. Confused? Think about the thinker who is doing the thinking who will be even more confused thinking about this whole thinking nonsense.
10. Shopping therapy – I wanted to buy clothes but couldn’t get my size so it made me even more depressed. So, I went and shop for one thing that do not need sizes and which I could find great enjoyment in…..(no, it is not a dildo or any other kinky sex stuffs)
BOOKS, BOOKS and more BOOKS! I spent RM200 just on books.
So, that’s my top ten list to get out of the dumps.
And no, Engineer, sex will not get me out of the dumps because…it is related to one of the things that makes me depressed. No, no, sex does not make me depressed, just that…haiya, let’s just keep it at merely sex will not get me out of depression because I am not that shallow, okay?
Chocolate is still better than sex

Hehehe….sometimes it is a blessing to be shallow, just assume the horizontal position …..and some of the in & out movements reliefs my depression…..
During the Vietnam war, the President if South Vietnam, Mr Thieu Vin Pho invited the editor of Bernama, a Punjabi Singh fellow (I forgot his full name) to Vietnam to help him set up a propaganda newspaper.
Mr Singh did a fantastic job and in appreciation Mr Thieu suggested that he will name the Vietnamese newspaper “Thieu Nama” . A combination of his name and Bernama.
Mr Singh being from multi cultural Malaysia was horrified. He told Mr Thieu “no no no you cannot call it that because in Chinese it mean to have sexual relations with your mother.”
So Mt Thieu decided to name the newspaper after both his and Mr Singh’s names.
The newspaper was called – Thieu Na Singh.
Hehehehehe
Engineer: Eh, horizontal only?Thought you would have been more ‘creative’.
Wah, suddenly doling out recycled jokes ar?
