I panicked and felt angry when I couldn’t find my notepads stored on my desktop as their usual place. First thought that hit my mind was that DD must’ve accidentally deleted them! But phew, I found them still on my desktop but in various places, a mess, really!   Well, well, make no mistake, someone’s [...]

I think when one looks at our kitchen cabinets, the first striking thing that will catch one’s attention are the cabinet handles which are white in colour against laminated brown wood stain cabinets.   Well we didn’t have many choices when choosing from the standard range back then and we thought we’d choose white so [...]

The other day, out of curiosity, I checked my link to Daiso Australia’s website and it was broken. I thought oh no, there goes my hope of seeing a Daiso store in Australia. But fortunately the link no longer exist but the website does www.daiso.com.au and it’s even been updated to a new look albeit [...]

Time to consolidate and keep to a tighter budget. Everytime the RBA lifts interest rates, I shudder. I’m always looking to cut cost in every corner – gosh doesn’t it sound like a factory or something.   One area to look into is getting new quotes on insurance online. This will save us heaps of [...]

A couple of weeks ago I ordered a cupcake stand from a leading internet retailer. I usually only order from them when they have a free shipping promo. The cupcake stand was delivered several days later but unfortunately the base tier of the stand was cracked upon arrival. I took photos of the damage and [...]

They say being in your 20’s are the best years in your life. I partly agree to it when it comes to travelling, less commitments, time flexibility, able to take spontaneous actions, etc.   Come to think of it, most of us also look our best in our 20’s There is no need to worry [...]

I can’t believe how old some of my “bookmarks” are on my browsers. Many are as old as ten years! Goodness knows when was the last time I accessed them. I just didn’t delete them along the years because I wanted to have a look at the sites again before I get rid of them. [...]

For the umpteenth time, here I am complaining and whining about my sorry physical state. I eat when I am happy, depressed, stressed, not stressed, its like I find every excuse to stuff myself silly.   I think I am at a point where even curvatrim weight loss supplement would not be able to assist [...]

Amazingly, Thursday is still my happiest day of the week! During my slavery working days, I have always loved Thursday because the next day would be Friday! Everyone loves Fridays, it feels like being freed from jail *LOL* On Fridays, me and my friends would hang out for dinners or movies and it is also [...]

It is funny how my preference takes a complete turn at some stage. For example, if you asked me some 12 years ago if I would wear flats to places where I’d dress up eg mall, office, etc – I’d say “no way!”. I always liked pumps or wedges to add that extra bit of [...]

When DH asked me where did I get the 20% Taronga Zoo discount voucher / coupon previously, I told him to check the link at WhatsOnInSydney which had the coupon page for the longest time. Unfortunately that URL redirects it to another new website altogether without any sign or any discount coupon or voucher whatsoever. [...]

Another one of my neighbours have put up a “For Sale” sign on their property. All the original owners seem to be upgrading very quickly, except us.   I am sure it won’t be long before we see movers coming in and out of their house. Each time I see people moving, it reminds me [...]

Just saw it in the news on TV this evening that Sydney’s first Costco will be based at Auburn which would also be its Australian headquarters. I wonder if the proposal to build one at Rouse Hill near the Mean Fiddler will actually proceed later down the road? Hope so. We could never get enough [...]

I was talking to a friend one day and she mentioned that she is preparing herself to rejoin the workforce once her younger girl begins kindergarten next year. As such, she is taking accounting lessons for now.   I really admire her in that despite her very hectic schedule, she is willing to work again [...]

It is time to harvest my buk choy This is the first vegie I managed to grow successfully. The other being the failed Garlic Chives which sprouted but died and never grew taller than 5cm, they just wouldn’t grow and withered away *sigh*. Then I got this packet of buk choy seeds for only 99 [...]
