The love of my life

Ever heard of the phrase " God wants us to meet a few wrong people, so when we met the right one, we'll know what a gift is". But when you're in a relationship break up dilemma, this can sound very ridiculous. I've been through that, so I know. 3 break ups in 2 years, I was in and out from a relationship to next with no time.In such a state of emotional turmoil, I didn't realised rebound relationship made me such a mess. I was a nice girl, I still am but those ex boyfriends were either a playboy or a big time liar. I had to move on, so I had to...

A photoshop novice

I love to play around in photoshop. I remember a few years back, I was so impressed with what my friend, a photographer could do to photoshop. I also remember I asked of him to teach me on how to touch-up a face, but he told me there's too much to learn and it's impossible for him to teach me everthing in a few hours.From then on, I was so determine to learn what I can do with photoshop. Many photoshop tuorials and online tips later, I think I'm quite good now, though I'm no expert but I sure did improve a lot.Watch out for my upcoming photoshop...

Claim back what you deserve

In this country, human rights is not something we talked about over a cup of coffee because very often, legal issues like that can take up to years to solve, not to mention a big hole in the pocket. But as the nation progresses, we see a lot of people coming forward to voice up, be it for a better change or a better life.It's a sad thing to read in the papers where a man who lost his hands while operating the machinery at work is now his everyday living suddenly becomes a struggle. He no longer has the capability to provide for his family financially....

a trip to Ikea

Today, we went to the Ikea sale. It was quite a dissappointing trip. Discounts weren't even that great. Thank God I didn't make the effort to get up at 7am in the morning and head right to the store, with my hair curler still attached to my head.I only bought 2 white bins and 3 rugs for my sister. Good thing I didn't splash on things I don't need. See, I'm getting wiser now....

Park your Porsche here

Why is it that my husband finds it troublesome to drive his car back into the house compound every day he comes home from work? Is it the hassle of not having to drive and reverse the car in and out of the house or is it because both inside and outside the house provides no shades for his cars?My father on the other hand, upon his visits to our home,...

They almost looked like chicken

Kids can be real imaginative sometimes. Take a look at this drawing on doodle pro by my 5 years old nephew. In the drawing, as per illustrated by him, is his mother on the far left, and him in the middle holding on to his one year old baby brother. They sure looks more like chicken with thick feathers but I'd say it's a piece of art. He's good on doodle-pro....

That house with the huge lawn

Isn't it amazing to hear that someone you know lives in a huge mansion valued over 1 million or 2, but not you?

Oh, what an envy.Now that the current economic is a little crippled, we cannot help but noticed how property price drops and how banks are really digging hard to lower their loan interest rates to woo potential property buyers. So for those with cash at hand, now is the best time to invest in your dream...

Baby Oranges

Over the last few weeks, my little boy must have had over 100 mini tangerines which is only available during the Chinese New Year season. For a two year old boy, peeling a whole orange all by himself is actually quite an achievement.

Toner cartridges is making me broke

I've had enough of my almost new Inkjet photo printer. I bought this months ago after a salesman talked me into buying it. This was supposed to be the best available color printer in the market but yet it didn't live up to its name. I should have done my own printer research before buying this unit. How I wish I can trade it for another better one. Too late.What's the use of getting a photo printer if it the printing quality is bad, not to mention the toner cartridge is almost impossible to find because the printer is too rare and also it is very...

A gift that last forever

My eldest sister got a gold bracelet for the chinese Valentines day a few days back. That's what I call a great gift. No flowers, no chocolate and no artificial roses. Nothing beats a gold bracelet one can keep for life.Ask any girl, chances are she might want a precious stone more than a whole lot of flowers you can find at the wholesale flowers market. I mean, what's the point of getting something that is sure going to last a few days? Afterall, a love gift should last forever not a week. And if I might add, diamonds are forever and so is gold....

This is a very lovely song sung by Michael Buble. The movie video is so touching too. I've added the lyrics if you want to sing along. Enjoy.I can't believe it's overI watched the whole thing fallAnd I never saw the writing that was on the wallIf I'd only knewThe days were slipping pastThat the good things never lastThat you were cryingSummer turned to winterAnd the snow it turned to rainAnd the rain turned into tears upon your faceI hardly recognized the girl you are todayAnd god I hope it's not too lateIt's not too late'Cause you are not aloneI'm...

A talent i don't have

When it comes to make up, the only thing I'm good at is putting on pink blusher on my cheeks and applying mascara to my eyelashes. I envied those who can make themselves look so pretty and yet so natural. These are the gifted ones, with such amazing talent for make up. Especially for those who attended beauty schools to learn the art of putting on the perfect make up.Sad to say, some people are just born with bad pale skin with acnes and they need a lot of concealer and compact powder to cover up the flaw but some are just bad at doing the job....

Am i invited?

Mom just called to inform that she'll be coming over on 1st February. Apparently, a distant relative will be getting married and I am invited too. I was so surprised, I told mom i have no idea that I'm invited. Maybe she just assume that herself.Anyway, I never heard a word about any wedding bells or Wedding Planning, how is it possible? I guess we'll have to wait for the invitation to arrive in the mailbox. I know how tedious a wedding planning can be, though my wedding was on a very very small scale, it was so time-consuming and tedious. I'm...

Saturdays

Saturdays are supposed to be amazing. Its THE weekend where you wake up early in the morning and everyone get dressed and you head straight right to the shopping mall.

Something so enjoyable became not so appealing anymore. Why is it so? Oh shit! Maybe i'm getting old....

A great hide away

In times when my husband makes me want to yell at him, I somehow learned the need to walk away, take a deep breath to cool the fire inside me. It was hard at first, not to start a fight but after a while, I realised I have a great amount of patience ever since I became a mother.Well, you cannot burst out or yell at your child every minute he spilled his milk, or every time he wet the bed, can you? Before I was married, I listen to no one. I was a stubborn freak, with a very short temper, the kind of girl who would jet away to a hideaway in one...

Xpander’s Nimbus VoIP Call Center Edition

Many many years back, I had the chance to explore a part of India called Pune. The moment I landed at the Mumbai Airport, everything never fails to gave me a shock. Imagine homeless mother of three plus a newborn sleeping right there in front of the airport. The mother fell asleep breastfeeding while her 9 year old boy was begging for money and her 5 year old daugther rummaged through a bin for a leftover coke. Ew.Another thing I noticed is that India has so so many STD/IDD Call Center VoIP Phone Systems everywhere. For a country as poor as India,...

There are times when I cannot help thinking how different my life would be if I choose another path of my life. What if I majored in interior designing, would I be a successful career woman by now?
