It’s someone’s birthday yesterday but I didn’t personally wish her – so bad of me, I know. However, I did make DD to write her a card which of course she didn’t sound too excited when received, typical.   Anyway, I was thinking a retired couple like them should be travelling in their country. Perhaps [...]

I can’t believe that I sometimes spent an hour or two listening to songs on youtube. I find it fun to watch music videos of old songs in the 70′s and 80′s which I have only heard of but never got to watch. Youtube is also another way for me to get updated with the [...]

My goodness, it is already coming to the end of July. Very soon it will be Halloween when kids around the neighbourhood would come knocking on our door for sweet treats.   I hope no one would give us Halloween invitations because honestly, we are not keen to attend such a party.   Pity the [...]

I’ve noticed that most departmental stores are clearing out their winter fashion and already selling spring clothings. It’s funnny how during summer, I couldn’t wait to put on layers of winter clothing but come winter, the feeling is the exact opposite. Yes I can’t wait to not having to put on a thick cardigan, sweater, [...]

… I hope! For the longest time (or years!) ever since I gave birth to my little girl, I had been trying to lose weight. It went well and quick the first few months after my childbirth (must be because I was breastfeeding at the time) but then I piled them all back on. Why? [...]

Yes I watched the final last Sunday and loved every minute of it. I wasn’t really interested in the daily episodes of Masterchef (both last year and this year’s) but somehow I’d always watch the finals. I am happy that the more deserving winner actually won! Love Adam Liaw’s humble personality, kinda reminds me of [...]

I must admit when it comes to cars, I knew nothing about it. It is only recently that I have picked up a little bit of knowledge or an idea of what’s what, how to feel if the brake’s in good working condition, engine sound, etc, etc. *Yawn* boring but somehow I find it a [...]

One more and I’m done for the year, I hope! This year, I had several tasks to complete. Am glad to have been able to complete all and now the last one is to file my tax return which shouldn’t be too difficult.   Have finally submitted the school enrolment form for DD, that’s a [...]

Is it my turn to get unwell? I guess so. Woke up not feeling a 100% this morning. I guess after caring for my girl’s cold, cough and what nots have finally taken a toll on me. Popped some day & night cold and flu tablets which hopefully will stop it from getting worse.   [...]

Wow I must be slowly losing my memory. Today I took my lil girl for her swimming lesson but our access card wouldn’t open the electronic automated gate to the pool. My first thought was that my card was faulty. So I checked my purse for the receipt on the whole term’s payment and was [...]

With facebook now, almost everyone has gotten in touch with a long lost friend or two, especially ex-schoolmates! For us females, it is always exciting to see how much our friends have change for the better or for worse (yikes, I’m in this category that’s for sure).   After seeing almost all of my schoolmates [...]

My poor lil cupcake had been ill so often that she skipped quite a number of days from preschool and swimming lessons. I don’t care that I have paid for her school and lessons. I’d rather she rests at home and recover than to feel distressed elsewhere.   Hope she builds up her immunity system [...]

… for DH. His is wearing out after about 10 long years! Yes he is using the same wallet I bought him before our marriage and we couldn’t find any of that size anymore.   This time round I’d probably get him a rfid blocking wallet just to prevent identity theft and payment fraud. You [...]

I usually borrow kids dvds from our local library but for the first time, I borrowed something for myself. Saw the title “Lady in the water” by M Night Shyamalan. Having watched a few of MNS’ movies, I thought I’d give this a try. However I haven’t got around to watching it yet as I [...]

We often get brochures from our local office warehouse that sells everything you would need from office furniture, stationeries, etc, you name it, they’ve got it. It’s really great for school kids to get their back to school supplies and of course good if you have a home office. The prices are very competitive.   [...]
