When I was a stay-at-home mom, I used to watch Oprah reruns on tv and also TVB dramas since I’m a big fan. Ashley was younger and she slept more then so I had time to watch my favourite shows. Ever since I went back to work last year, I haven’t had much time to watch my shows. When Ashley goes to bed, I would go too because I need my minimum 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night 😀 My eyes cannot open if I were to stay up to watch.
Since about a month ago, I decided to allocate at least an hour every night to watch my favourite TVB dramas. This is one of the ways for me to de-stress (besides retail therapy) *wink* So far, I managed to watch No Regrets, When Lanes Merge and Sisters of Pearl. These are last year’s dramas and I am slowly catching up 🙂 How do you de-stress?
That’s nice. Everyone should try to find time to de-stress 🙂 I used to like watching them too with my mum. We will “chase” the series until 5-6 in the morning haha. This was before I got married lah!
it’s very addictive. now i look forward to my 1 hour 😀
Hmm, watching dramas/movies is one of the way I de-stress.
And in my previous post of the similar topic, http://hayleyong84.blogspot.com/2011/04/stress-please-go-away.html
I find exercising/sweating very useful too!
yes..exercise too. i ride on my bike every evening too 🙂
Before marriage, I used to watch Wah lai toi every night after dinner with the family. Now, I get to watch nothing except cartoons 🙁 So, I de-stress by getting out of the house to pamper myself with facial and massage and of course, retail therapy too 🙂
oh gosh, tell me about it. it’s playhouse disney or the disney channel every day. i have a pact with ashley now. 7.30pm to 8.30pm is mommy’s time to hog the tv 😀 she can play with her toys or read her books during that one hour but she ends up asking me tons of questions about the show every time when i’m watching it. “why is the man dead?” “where is she going”? “what happened to them”? *slap forehead*
Watching dramas is also my favourite thing to do to relax myself, but now I prefer to sleep early, as I am really tired.
It’s been ages since I last watched TVB series…. My children prefer cartoons, my hubb prefers movies. So, I de-stress by doing house chores. Yeah, I’m a cleanaholic!
i can only de-stess when P is asleep. after he falls asleep, i will watch my AOD. and i will take leave once or twice a month to pamper myself for spa, facial n some mummy meets..
I blog. I should think its rather obvious since I have several blogs. One blog not enough to destress. Hahaha.
I only get to watch TVB drama on weekend only…..but not Astro, because waste money since I watch tv only on weekend.
So? I buy the dvd lor…….
LOL at yor zebra! kakaka
i MAKAN! durian is the best! sometimes at ungodly hours of 2am or 3am. very unhealthy ya 🙁
Nowadays i chase after The Seasons in Astro 305… watching the old show brings back old memories!
I am now hooked to the ‘little nyonya’ series! So tragic but addictive.
I think doing a simple facial on your own and listening to the songs would be a nice way to let off stress.
I’m a big fan of tvb dramas too. I watch them with my hubby (if he’s home) every night after the kids sleep. :). I can watch 2-4 epis a night if kancheong.
oooohhh.. .you know what I do to destress … I’m going to say it again and again . Chris Noth & Josh Charles !!! whoot!!!
oh man…you and your men!
Hee! Love the zebra.
i drink coffee..:P and then i get stressed samo cos i cannot sleep @_@
hooked on internet or FB is a way to de-stress. Now I like to go and eat food I love whenever the kids are in their morning class. de-stress????
I’ve not been watching any TVB dramas since I moved out from my parents’ house. I think I’ll go look for those series you mentioned on the net…hehe. I watch anything on TV. 🙂
I de-stress by blogging and browse foodie blogs until late at night. Then the next day, I have big plan to cook up a storm in the kitchen. And also baking and cooking, a way of de-stress too. And travelling!! every 2-3 months 🙂
Hi Barb….the Backofen main branch is in Hartamas. The one I blogged about is a new one in Sunway.
Actually I also destress watching TVB and english series while exercising. 🙂
7-8 hours of sleep? I can only get this amount of sleep on a rare occasion now 🙁 I destress by eating, exercising and shopping 😀
i wish i have energy for that. I so so so miss TVB series wuahhhh
