Last day of Summer

Published by G under Mumblings

Today marks the last day of Summer for 2008! It was nice taking a walk along the spanking new pathway this evening with cool and windy temps of about 16C … a tad too cold after awhile *LOL* but it beats taking a stroll at 30C and above anytime! Anyway now that we have a [...]

Rustic Furniture

Published by G under Piggybank

Buying furniture has never been more interesting when you actually own a home. At least with a permanent place that you come to everyday after work, you would want to make the home as comfortable as possible with your kind of favourite furniture around the house. Afterall, home is a place to relax and forget [...]

Housing crisis

Published by G under Real Estate

I have no more words to describe the property situation here.   Read today’s SMH article on “Housing affordability slumps to new low“. It is sad for those struggling to have their own roof over their heads.  I know exactly how it feels, I have been there.   Thanks to Australia’s high interest rates which will [...]

DIY Workbench

Published by G under Piggybank

Even if we have all the necessary tools for any project be it at a lab, garage, office, studio, etc, it would be almost impossible to work without a good workbench. Finding that perfect workbench that specifically caters for our needs could be time consuming but wait, the good thing is that we can actually [...]

Temps

Published by G under Mumblings

It feels like a really long time when it rained in the mornings. It’s raining now and I love it. Hope Autumn which officially begins on March 1st, will give us cooler temps so that we can spend more time outdoors and go to Flower Power nursery, hehe. I hate visiting plant nurseries in Summer [...]

Home Theater

Published by G under Piggybank

It has been almost two years since we moved into our home. Time sure flies. The house is still as empty and at times we could hear our own echoes because of it. I wish we did not live so close to areas where the Display Homes are for we tend to visit every now [...]

Cheap Buy – Fluffy Slippers

Published by G under Cheap Buys

These for only AU$3, how about that? Saw them marked down at Coles. It’s nice to wear soft fluffy slippers during cooler months. I remember having bought a similar pair of fluffy slippers for only AU$5 from Coles also, in previous years but goodness knows where they are now … I have not got a [...]

Insurance Quote

Published by G under Piggybank

I previously blogged about having a term life insurance but I took up the policy back in KL. Things are definitely different now that I have a family of my own. Hubby and I both know we seriously need to look into getting some sort of term life insurance quote over here. I just do [...]

Term Life Insurance

Published by G under Piggybank

The word “insurance” often gives me a headache before I even start looking into it. Thank goodness I already have an insurance policy similar to term life insurance when I was 19 years of age. To be honest, I did not understand much about the importance of getting a life insurance back then and all [...]

Colorful TSA Locks

Published by G under Piggybank

I am one of those travellers who prefer to ensure my luggages are well locked to avoid the zippers from opening accidentally because most of the time, my luggages were so packed it almost looked like it could burst open anytime.   I reckon using some colorful tsa locks would be a great idea as [...]

Pathway, at last!

Published by G under Landscaping

We finally have a pathway although unfortunately it is on OUR side of the street! We are still unsure if the other side of the street will get one too – only the Council knows. I’m happy because it means that we can now take walks without needing to constantly be on the lookout for [...]
