Monday, October 29th, 2007I remember those days in London as a poor student because all my money was spent on phone bills! So what did I do? I lived on Kit Kat and walked everywhere. I was having a long distance relationship and those of you who’ve been there know exactly what I’m talking about. When you miss […]
More praises from Lego tutor at the Lego workshop
Monday, October 29th, 2007We attended a free Lego workshop trial today and Tee absolutely LOVED it. When we turned up, we were informed that actually, you could only come if you registered or called first since there was a maximum number to a class and then, the class was supposed to be only for four to six year olds.
[Huh? […]
New furniture for my new home
Sunday, October 28th, 2007So if I were to move into a new home, would I bring along all of my current furniture or would I purchase some new pieces as well? Well, if you were moving from 1,800 sf to 4,700 sf, you’d need more furniture I would imagine unless you were planning to go super minimalist!
I went […]
I hit the jackpot!
Sunday, October 28th, 2007As I was about to call it a day and logout this evening for good at 3am, or rather this morning, however you look at it, my laptop suddenly went kerching! KERCHING!! KERCHING-CHING-CHING!!!!
Old Dell bounced up and down and made such a ruckus synonymous to the jackpot machines in Genting when you get three sevens in a […]
The benefits of a business card reader
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Five years ago, when I was meeting trolls of prospective clients daily, I used to sit at my desk at the end of each day with all the business cards I’d collected for the day (sometimes amounting to fifty in a day!) and started typing their details onto Microsoft Excel. I still have that database today. It […]
I need to make five million
Sunday, October 28th, 2007I fell in love with my dream home today.
It is 4,700 square feet of built up space with a little garden outside which currently has a koi pond but we’ve decided that if we ever buy the house, we’d cover the pond up because we’re low maintenance people (aka lazy). The house has eight bathrooms […]
Visit exotic holiday destinations in Europe
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Recently I found an old University friend on Facebook who had designed Sarah Jessica Parker’s loft in New York. I was really shocked when he told me he was now practising in Bulgaria. From New York to Bulgaria? What gives?
His wife was from Bulgaria and so they moved there for a few years. Ahhh…….But he confirmed […]
Toddler turns budding socialite
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Parties attended by Tee in the last two months…….
And there’s more to go over the next three weeks despite declining some invitations *faint*
If she is partying so hard now, then I hope she dies of party boredom when she hits her teens *wink*

Tee’s alphabet writing at 34 months
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Tee started taking an interest in writing the alphabet six months ago when she would pester and pester me to write the alphabet in dotted lines for her to trace. It was a new hobby then.
I’ve never pushed her to write or learn her alphabet because #1 - that’s what I pay the school for, […]
The opposite of the male psyche
Sunday, October 28th, 2007That would be us females. Except that I would categorise myself not a typical female but one who is equally right and left brained. This has been tested and verified, just in case you were wondering.
I’ve noticed that whenever I’m in a group of women, I am usually the silent one. This is not a […]
Why some companies succeed
Saturday, October 27th, 2007In my last job at the twin towers, we ran a paperless office. Although many people say that it is almost impossible to go paperless, I beg to differ. Because we did it!
I’m sure it didn’t come without heartache and a whales full of sweat. Yet I believe that anything, if planned right, implemented and followed through, has […]
Tee and her obsession with scrunched paper
Saturday, October 27th, 2007This last week, Tee has been moving about with a small scrunched up piece of paper. It is all scrunched up like you would when you aim a piece of paper into the bin, except her paper is sacred. I’ve seen her carrying it into the car, she holds it to sleep and even has […]
Blog speed and blog administration
Saturday, October 27th, 2007It appears that I’ve finally nailed the slow blog problem. Thank you to TC from NYC who’s kept me in the loop about my blog speed. It is such a relief as I’d even sought quotations from the professionals to crack the &#^$*#. What caused it to slow down tremendously was having the blogroll on […]
The end of baseball season 2007
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Another game I’ve never understood is baseball. Yet another American biggy. Baseball always reminds me of Tom Cruise watching his kids. Obviously, I read too many tabloid magazines so if you asked me who Angelina’s latest adopted kid is or when Britney broke up with Kev, I’d score a 10 out of 10. But baseball?
What’s […]
Tee’s Halloween surprise!
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Now I know why most Halloween parties in town are not catered for the under fives. DUH!!!
First and foremost, never ever leave anything to the last minute. Because I did and am always rushing around like a headless chicken, I forgot the most important tool for the Halloween party. The all mattering Nikon. Have you ever had a wedding […]
What’s REALLY between my ears…..
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Surely not brains.
This is how little time I have and how I rush about like a mad lunatic.
The Hubs brought home a pau for me this morning but because I was too busy, left it for later. Too busy meeting deadlines, you see. Then, when I was ready to eat it, it had already turned cold […]
Tee’s Halloween preparations for her cheap Halloween costume
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Tee has a Halloween party today, a Malaysian one whereby the kids will go from room to room in a big house for their trick or treating rather than go from house to house. It’s too dangerous here to go from house to house especially at that age. Besides, what do you think we’re going […]
Full weekend ahead
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Today is Saturday and ideally I’d have my day off, stay at home and make some money BUT we have a full weekend this weekend. *sob*
We have to get the car serviced, go for Tee’s Mandarin Edudrama class, then attend a Halloween party. Tomorrow, we have to do a house viewing and visit a furniture […]
