No more plane ride for Shern

The only reason I was so keen to apply for a new passport in replacement for my almost expired one is because we got a weekend getaway planned, to Pattaya that is. But with all the havoc and protest going on in Bangkok right now, rest assured that we won't be going there anytime soon. Just canceled our tickets. Bummer.

So disappointing. Shern is so looking forward to getting a plane ride, and how do I tell him we're not going anymore. I bet he'll ask me a thousand 'why'?

Sigh...

Canola oil and Aspartame

Was at local pharmacy today, and there's this sign put up that reads: DO NOT USE CANOLA OR CORN OIL, ITS DEADLY> BIG RISK OF HEART ATTACK. Another sign next to it, DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING THAT SAYS IT'S SUGAR FREE, IT CONTAINS ASPARTAME, ALSO DEADLY.

Of course, reading it, it gave me a hell of a shock. All the while, I grew up thinking Canola oil is the best, given that it's double the price of our normal palm oil, so it should be good right. Mom warned us times and times again to buy canola oil for cooking, its healthier she said. She's quite a health freak person, so I bet she is right. Now, I shall add, she was wrong.
Do your own research, google it, read it. It's all over the Internet. It's scary even to read it. Canola oil is said to be the best heart artery clogging recipe. Yucks.

To Diet drinks lovers especially, kick off that bad habit before it ruins you and your body. Again, google Aspartame and read it for yourself. The world is now a scary place, what you eat can silently kill you inside. Oh shit.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I used to think that shoe obsession is only a thing for women. Basically every woman has at least 5 pairs of shoes. For a shoe-a-holic, they might even have up to hundreds of pairs of heels, flats, stilettos, boots, sports shoes and another dozen of Blowfish Women's Shoes. Little did I know that men can be equally obsessed with shoes. But with men, it's mostly with their Blowfish Men's Shoes, trainers, collectible item or anything of that sort.

Funny how kids can also love shoes that much. Take my 6 years old little nephew for instance, he just love buying shoes. He has sports, casual, leather, and even one that looks like a racing shoe. Perhaps it's the influence from us adults, perhaps we spoilt them. How people used to only survive wearing one shoe for an entire season or a whole year until it's torn, you might think? There's no luxury in buying shoes in every design and in every different color. Blowfish Shoes is only something they can dream off. We people living in this era are just a bunch of lucky stars, aren't we?

Queue after queue..

At last, I got my new passport after 3 trips to the Immigration office. We went there yesterday at lunch time and the Immigration was packed like peas in a can! My queue number tells me that there's sort of like 100+ people ahead of me. Darn. I hate waiting, and what more Shern's daddy. There's no way he's going to spend hours waiting, sitting around like a fool when he has a thousand other errands to run. So we left.

This morning, I woke up at 7am, hurried myself hoping that I'll get there before the immigration open its door. I should have wake up earlier,but too late, I was caught in a bad traffic jam and got there only at quarter to eight. I was number 36 on the queue and that took me like 2 hours to be attended, and another queue to make my payment.
Passport will only be ready in 2 hours, and I was told to get a queue number to collect my passport. I just couldn't wait there, I was so sleepy I drove home and jumped into bed, with Shern.

Then again at 3.30pm, after I picked up Marcus from his Kumon class, then only I went to collect my passport, the queue in the evening started to die off. I got my passport within 10 minutes of waiting. Must say that the Immigration office system and their services has improved tremendously. Overall, 9 brownie points.

New passport. Yippie. Go holiday!!

The look he loves about me..

Seriously, my husband is not a wee bit of a romantic person. Not the flower bouquet, chocolate type of husband, even during courtship days. He's not a good flirt, not a person you can see in the Ultimate Flirting Championship at all. Up till now, he sometimes even joked about how flirtatious I was when we first met, but come on, he knows me well enough that I'm not a good flirt. That was really just my killer look that sent him all head over heels over me. LOL. Like this.



Nice smile there, maybe. But ouch, my hair is all over my face. Scary messy isn't it. If only I get some tips with the Extreme Style by VO5 , I think I'll look much better in that photo. Agree? Just as I was writing this, hubby came over to tell me that I look good in that photo. Those days.
But now, after having a baby, my face is all round and chubby, not to even mention my hair. It's like I'm having bad hair day, everyday now. I want my Victory Hair back.

He's a very nice person once you got to know him, thought some people might think he's a little arrogant, because he normally will not speak to people he's not close to. But one thing for sure, he's a lousy flirt. What about you? I dare you to take the Flirting test here.

When they were little..

I was just going through some old photos and thought it might be cool to share some here. How time flies. Baby Shern is so tiny that time. Looking at those photos, who would have thought Shern will be so chatty and even fight with Marcus now. They fight practically everyday over toys or Marcus Nintendo DS or for my iphone. Kids kids!

Shern at 10mths.

On a bicycle at 11 mths old. But never get to learn how to cycle until he's 2 years and 9 mths old.

Happy Ryan, Marcus and Shern.

Marcus and Ryan, age 3 maybe.

They seriously need Victory Hair, a hair style to die for, for a girl to fall for them. Otherwise, slim chance or no chance to pick up a girl at all.

Got your Halloween Costume?

Juggling my time between blogging, raising a very active toddler and taking care of the entire family is not a piece of cake. So, you can't blame me for missing a few important dates on the calendar. My sister reminded me earlier to buy a cake for my 7 years old nephew as today is his birthday but I totally forgotten about it. Where am I suppose to find a cake at 10pm at night? No choice but he got to wait for tomorrow for a belated birthday cake.

I really should make a habit on marking important dates on the calendar, or a quick note on my iphone calendar. Anyway, Halloween is coming up and we still haven't got any special plans in mind. But I'm sure it will be fun dressing up the kids in fireman costumes, policeman or even a typical pirates. I once dressed up as a female Ninja, thinking of scaring the kids, but instead my two year old son came to hug me and called mommy. Hiding behind that black scarf and thick frame glasses, he still recognises me. That was hilarious.

Imagine Shern dressing up as Tipsy from the Teletubbies like this. Isn't it cute? Imagine him tripping over and over again in this cute silly suit.
Hands down, Shern will love this Racing suit costume so much, he might even want to wear it to sleep if I let him. Oh, so many Halloween costumes to choose from, so little time.


Whatever it is, when dressing up the kids, it's very important to make sure that Halloween Costume safety aspect are taken into consideration before dressing up their kids especially for those costumes with full face mask or fluffy feather materials that tends to caught fire very easily. Or even with kids wearing fancy decorative contact lenses, always take extra precaution because kids do get infection much easier than adults do.

I'm so into Grey right now

I seems to be blogging lesser nowadays, that's because I'm stuck at home all day watching Grey's Anatomy Season 1, 2 and 3. I know it's just not me, but many others too get addicted to watching dramas like this. The last drama I watched was Gossip Girl, I totally love it. You know that girl Serena van De Woodsen, she's gorgeous. Not forgetting her very handsome boyfriend, Dan Humphrey.
I actually downloaded this movie for free. Free movie, free seating, free watching schedule, it cannot get any better than this right. I hope you had a great day too, because mine is sure smashing. LOL.

Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Many times and on many occasion, I missed the chance of telling my mom how grateful I am to have such a mother like her. The truth is, we children sometimes feel that it's awkward to show our affection to our parents. So we rather keep the feeling to ourselves and hopefully they'll figure out a way to read our mind.

But after seeing my hubby's aunt suffers from Alzheimer, it makes me realized life is too short to leave things for tomorrow. What if I never get the chance ever again? What if I lose my mom one day to Alzheimer. I mean she might still be around psychically, but what if she no longer recognise me, and I'm not even the person she turns to because she totally forgot who I am to her. A baby girl she once so gently cares for, the little girl she taught how to walk, the teenage girl she screamed at because she brought home bad grades, or the happiest grin she had on her face when she first carried my little son-her grandson on her arm?

Come on, join us hand in hand, move us closer to a world without Alzheimer's. Together let's support the Alzheimer's Memory Walk, the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Do not let Alzheimer's take away your loved ones, not now not ever.

Lovely dress, I like!

Love the details on the dress, it's off-white in color matched with a brown 2 inches ribbon. Bought this beautiful dress a week ago, and wondering what to do with it. No No. I actually planned on giving it to my sister if it doesn't fit. So now you know it doesn't fit. Exactly where, I'll tell you. The chest! Darn. I hate free-sizing clothings! They're all meant for aneroxic people or people with less than 5% body fat. Hello, I'm a mother with a 'mommy's pouch', not a 16 year old with sexy curves you see lying on the beach.

Why why why

It's hard to be me right now. I'm feeling really really down. Just don't know what to do to make things right. Something so easy suddenly seems so hard. There's no playing around with options because I ain't have any. This time, the ball is not in my court. Well, it has never been. I'm sick.
If you read this, and you don't get me, that's fine because that's my point. Just to whine.

All kids just love Nintendo

Don't they? I don't know about other parents, but I see harm when little kids gets no adult supervision when it comes to watching the television, or play computer games like 24/7. I'm not trying to sound like the perfect parent here, but I believe that kids will grow up into a person the way they are brought up. And here, watching too much television programs or playing long hours of Nintendo Wii can only mean that they're spending much lesser time learning academically.

My 6 year old nephew has a Nintendo DS Lite, but he knows well that he only gets to play it when I allow him to. Say, after he completes his school work and additional homework I gave him. As a reward, he gets his Nintendo DS Lite. With supervision, I can track his playing time and make sure that he doesn't get too attached to his games and not study at all.

I've seen kids who are so gadget-pro, but sadly that can only mean one thing. They do not excel academically. Having seen it all, I'd hope that I know how to deal with my son and my nephew.
