Published by G under Mumblings

A few more days and it will be middle of the year. Time to think about getting term life insurance quotes again. Same practice year in year out. Good thing getting quotes is a breeze with most insurance companies providing instant quotations on its website.   Better still, there are sites that compares and gets [...]

Stocktake Sale soon

Published by G under Mumblings

That time of the year again very soon ie Stocktake Sale! Time flies, flies and flies. It felt just like two months ago when I last saw the Stocktake Sale sign everywhere. Will you be spending much this year? Not us. Can’t afford to splurge anymore.   However, I think if we see a really [...]

Fun time soon

Published by G under Mumblings

The ILs will be arriving tomorrow. Already, we have some plans lined up for them which includes pigging out on seafood and what not. Gee, it means I can kiss my diet goodbye again.   I am pretty sure the first comment I get when IL sees me is “wow you have put on weight”. [...]

Cleaning & Scrubbing

Published by G under Mumblings

Hadn’t done one day house cleaning ever since we moved from the last apartment. Back in those renting days, we got about three inspections annually by the real estate agency. Each time, I would vigorously clean the whole apartment until it was spick and span.   I really hated those inspections because of the cleaning [...]

Weather is unkind to my skin

Published by G under Wellbeing

The weather is getting colder which means my skin starts to itch if not moisturized well and my heels start to crack, yucks! My face has this little bit of stinging sensation if I do not apply moisturiser straight after washing my face. It is that bad. I will be needing some sort of wrinkle [...]

It’s cold

Published by G under Mumblings

Brrr it’s cold outdoors at 10pm just now as it is also windy. Can’t do without a scarf. Looks like winter’s arriving pretty soon. Have to do some last minute shopping tomorrow, sigh.   Been so lazy to post photos of my buys and food hunt. This blog has become so wordy compared to previously [...]

Addiction needs attention

Published by G under Wellbeing

It is not uncommon to see Hollywood celebrities checking themselves in to some drug rehab centre. I guess it is not easy to withstand the pressure of being in contant eye of the public, especially the paparazzi. Truly money and fame has its toll on some.   Unfortunately celebrities are not the only ones who have [...]

New Local Library

Published by G under Surroundings

I really can’t wait for the new library to be opened sometime in June, that’s just one month away. The reason being is that it is within walking distance for us and I would love to take my girl there for storytelling time.   When I found out about the new library being built last [...]

Selling up?

Published by G under Real Estate

I just wrote about how we often get flyers from real estate agents lately and guess what? Yesterday a real estate agent actually came knocking at our door asking if we have any plan to sell our home. At least he was professional, introduced himself and the real estate agency he was representing.   I [...]

Mother’s Day soon

Published by G under Mumblings

Funny that up until now, I still do not really celebrate this occasion for myself now that I am a mom. I dunno, I guess I am used to not putting any importance on any celebration for me, including birthdays. DH on the other hand never forgets to buy me a card, gift or cake [...]

The lure of fast foods

Published by G under Wellbeing

The difference between apartment living and a landed property, for us; is that we get a whole lot more brochures and flyers weekly. Dominos, KFC, Pizza Hut as well as local take aways often tempt us with some discount coupons.   It is difficult to think about dieting with such temptations! Well I guess at [...]
