Hands full

Published by G under Mumblings

I’m gonna be busy for a few weeks. Need to update a whole lot of old digital artwork. Unfortunately I will not have much time to visit other blogs often (not that I had the priviledge to visit many anyway).   Other than meeting the $ write up deadlines on my two blogs, I will [...]

Pool Floats

Published by G under Piggybank

The last time I have been in a swimming pool was several years ago in the apartment block where we lived. I have not tried the public pools here eventhough there is one within walking distance from our home. Will get around it someday when we enrol our girl for swimming lessons once her skin [...]

Nothing in particular

Published by G under Mumblings

Not much interesting activities to write about lately. Mostly because of my obsession with my new craft. I spend at least 4-5 hours on it daily (after my little girl goes to bed at night and sometimes when she naps during the day).   The stocktake sale is coming to an end. I think we’ve [...]

Disposable Diapers

Published by G under Piggybank

Most of us tend to be ignorant about many medical conditions until unfortunately we know of someone who actually suffers from it. For example, I was not aware that there are disposable diapers for adults until I knew someone who had to wear them due to her medical condition. It must have been difficult for [...]

My first felt bunnies

Published by G under Mumblings

Here is my first attempt at making felt mascots – bunnies. The Felt Mascot pattern book I ordered will take 2-3 weeks to arrive from Japan.  Being the impatient me, I couldn’t wait for the book to get started, so I simply cut out some patterns of my own.  I made an even smaller bunny [...]

“Let’s Get Ready” Books

Published by G under Product Review

My two year old absolutely loves books just like any other kids do. Most times we find ourselves having to buy separate books on specific subjects such as colors, numbers, shapes, etc. I would like a book that combines all that into one which is exactly what Let’s Get Ready for Kindergarten has to offer. [...]

Yet another hobby

Published by G under Mumblings

Took up yet another hobby. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, when will I know how to relax? I am currently a little obsessed with making felt dolls. Even ordered a Japanese Felt Mascot book via eBay (shipped from Japan) so it will take several weeks to arrive. Already made 3 lil bunnies of my own because I [...]

“Daddy’s Girl” t-shirt @ huddybuddy.com

Published by G under Product Review

I have always loved kids apparels with catchy, witty or funny words. My favourite t-shirt for my little girl was one that read “Daddy’s Girl” because she has really got her daddy wrapped around her little finger. Unfortunately she has since outgrown that t-shirt which was a gift from a friend in the USA when [...]

Sweet Potato Curry

Published by G under Food Reviews

Hubs was raving about this Thai Sweet Potato Curry with steamed white rice he’s been pigging out on at lunch time in the CBD. Yesterday he was very sweet to buy a takeaway for me so that I could try it too.     At only AU$4, it is considered extremely cheap especially from a [...]

Wimbledon 2008

Published by G under Piggybank

I have not got a chance to play tennis with my dear hubby for years. More so now that no one could help us look after our two year old while we play. I guess we will have to wait until she is old enough to learn tennis from her daddy. Can’t wait for that [...]

Sydney ranked world’s 10th best city

Published by G under Mumblings

It is interesting to note that Sydney made it into the world’s 10th best city. More details here here. However a survey by a different company ranked Melbourne ahead of Sydney. So which one is correct? You be the judge.   What didn’t surprise me is that Sydney did not make the top ten safest [...]

Chilliz – Oriental Crops S/B

Published by G under Curry,Food Reviews

Me and the handsome young man with a heart of gold, Kok, were just joking quite some time ago that someone should tell the manufacturer of Chilliz products how much I had been raving about them. Well, they did notice  my reviews and here is the comment left by Mr Robert of Oriental Crops Sdn [...]

Personal Safety

Published by G under Piggybank

I am not too sure about the legality of carrying or using stun guns in Australia. While it is a good form of self defence, some people may also abuse the use of it. Let’s just hope that those who carry it would only use it purely for personal safety.   I remember carrying one [...]

Sale Everywhere

Published by G under Cheap Buys

It’s that time of the year for bargain buys! Mid year clearance sale led by the big boys David Jones and Myers, followed by Target, Kmart, Big W and most other retail outlets. We break the record this year for not having spent a cent on any of these mid year sale yet but we [...]

Diet No No

Published by G under Piggybank

In today’s society there is tremendous pressure to stay ultra slim or stick thin especially among the younger generation. The unreal “perfect” body image portrayed by the media especially on glossy magazines bears a lot of influence to the young ones.   As a result, many have resorted to diet pills such as Phentermine to [...]
