Gym or no gym?

The thing about me is that I procrastinate too much, too often. I've been wanting to sign up for a gym membership for the longest time. So, I finally went yesterday, twice! And the elevators were out of service, and I didn't dare risk walking up the very dark stairs so I went home. The gym is very near my house, but it's sort of a creepy place, it's not the busiest place in town. Hence, let's just say walking up that dark stairs inviting trouble. I'm really having second thoughts about signing up in that gym. What if the elevator there breaks down 4 times a week ( I know, but the maintenance there really sucks big time, my sister used to rent an office lot there), that leaves me very little days to go to the gym. But then again, the gym only charges $90 a month membership.
I really need to do some work out, I can't just laze at home everyday sipping ORGANIC VEGAN CHOCOLATE and HOODIA GORDONII and glued to the computer. You know, when I'm bored, I tend to eat more and also more frequent. Then of course I gain more weight. And when that happens, I get all stressed up when my clothes don't fit. Stress or not stress, kava is not the only thing I need, I really need to lose weight this time.

I'm turning into my mom

Yada yada. As much as one dislike it, they will eventually turn into their mom. Trust me on this. I think I'll starting to sound like my mom. In fact, I became one when I least expected it. Even now, when my 2 and a half years old son did something that displeased me, I tend to remind him how much his bad behaviour upsets me, and how he should never ever behave like that again. I remember I used to hate it so much when my mom go all naggy on me. Yes! I can't help it! I'm just like her now.

Free drug reference on your iPhone

So, I got an iphone, big deal, NO! When I first got my iphone, my dear iphone hacker told me that I should never ever consider pressing the Installer icon, for if I accidently download anything that I shouldn't, then my iphone will turn into ibrick. So silly me, I just do with the 9 icons on my iphone for the first 5 months. To be honest, I thought the world has given too much credit for this phone, when all it does to me is make phone calls, check the weather forecast (like I need this!), and bummer I can't even send MMS.
So when my sister found out from a stranger that she can install a hundred other applications from the Installer, we cannot be more addicted to our phone. There's so much more to this phone than just getting a good day weather. And the good news is Epocrates is working with Apple to develop a downloadable drug guide for iPhone devices, your totally free drug reference in your pocket, forget having to flip through a thousand pages of medical reference before writing a prescription to your patient. For now, all you need to do is to go to m.epcorates.com on your Safari web browser for your very own free drug reference.

"This announcement was paid for by Epocrates".

Jumping into the blogging bandwagon

To many others, reading a blog is all about taking a peek in someone else's life. A friend told me that after he read my blog, he basically know half my life, like for real. And as freaky as it sounds, it makes me realised that I might had shared too much about my personal life, especially my baby's growing up. But then, he convinced me that there's nothing much I need to worry. Say, a stalker who religiously reads my blog, who is eyeing on us for God knows what reason, there's only thing part of my life that he knows, like what I love to do on a Saturday, or what high heels I bought or what word my son learned to speak at 11 mths. I don't go declaring that I'll be off to THE shopping centre, just in case he might stalk me there. I'm sure I don't go telling the world where I live, my home address or my mobile number. For that, I'm quite sure I'm safe.
So, the other night, my sister asked me whether I can really do make money blogging, and how much on average a lazy blogger like me earn a month. Honestly, there's a lot to consider before you jump into the blogging bandwagon, that is IF you already have a 9-5 job with a good slice of the pie. Blogging is nothing like a job, one day you might find yourself flooded with a dozen of reviews to write, but you also have to deal with the dry spell. Aha, no blogger can guarantee you that you'll be getting a 3 digit send to your paypal account every month. But unless, if you're a stay-at-home mom like me, blogging is definitely a way to earn extra pocket money, a little more spending power. Eh, I like.

A Penis Enlarger??

Gosh!

Does size really matter? I mean is it so important for men to have a huge penis? I don't know if it's this thing with ego or for better self-esteem but I would rather associate it with female and their boobs, female wanting a bigger boobs as to man and their male enhancement. Surprise, surprise. I found out that there's actually this thing called penis enlarger, which is of course for penis enlargement. I'm not joking.

Ew, that's all sweaty!

Some nights, I wake up wishing I am in one fabulous Cannes Hotels, or anywhere where the weather is freezing cold. I don't know if it's just me, or maybe my hubby is feeling the same, but sleeping in a room with air condition can actually makes me sweat, I don't know if cuddle up under the 300 thread-count Egyptians cotton duvet, stuffed with goose down feathers is the major problem here. But that's how it is on some nights, I woke up soaking in sweat. Bummer. I'm just trying to sleep comfortably, can't I?
I've never been to Sweden, I'd love to go there one day. I love to imagine how comfortable it is, tucking myself into bed, with a view from the Stockholm Hotel overlooking the snowy mountain. Well, if hubs is kind enough to plan a getaway, never mind if it's Cannes or Stockholm, I'll still be more than happy to go, even if it's a trip to a hot city like Dubai, I'm sure all Dubai Hotels have air-conditioning.

5 days ago...

...I wrote my last blog post, which is also the day my husband's dearest aunt passed away. We were so busy, so I really have no choice but to put blogging aside. But I really thank God that Shern has been a really fuss-free toddler for the past few days, making our running about much easier. The past few days has been really hectic, and at the end of the day, there's nothing we want more than to hit the pillow the second we got home. We were just so lack of sleep! Now that aunt had been placed in her final resting place, it's all a breeze. Now, we really need to catch up on our sleep too.

What changed you?

You know you've grown up when your life is no longer all about you, and people start asking you questions, seeking your opinion on motherhood issue and whether it's better to get a jogging stroller or a carriage stroller. Life used to be all about me, me and me. Buying what I love, doing what I like, going where I want, without a care for the world. Being married doesn't make much difference to that either, I can split my time well between being there for my husband and yet still spend so much ME time. But having a baby changes everything, for good. A part of it is knowing that there's this little somebody that needs me so much, makes me feel good about myself, minus the pretty clothes and dangling earrings. He looks up to me as the person that I am, not judge me as a fat mom with a bad hair day. So back to strollers, a good friend of mine, a malay girl I met during my uni days at Newcastle, is now 7 months pregnant. She's expecting a baby girl, she called to ask for my opinion on strollers. Let's face it, mommy has no time to go jogging at the park, let alone with a newborn. That jogger might seems like a brilliant idea for a minute, but in reality we only use strollers in a shopping centre, and we ain't going offroad with a baby either. Just get a stroller without the carriage, without the super hi-tech suspension absorber, and of course, we don't need the tiny umbrella too, because when it rains, the baby is going nowhere. We stay home.

Not exactly a short trip to the mall

Boring afternoon, so we decided to hit Mid Valley. Boy, the moment we sat in the car, it started to pour. As you know, heavy downpour equals heavy traffic, a trip to Mid Valley normally takes half an hour, but today it took us one hour and 10 minutes just to get to Mid Valley car park this afternoon, we spent another half an hour looking for a parking space. Mom and aunty got so impatience, they got out of the car and stalked people to their car. When they finally got one at the other end of the lane, I got to make a U-turn to get there, but there was this super rude man who drives out of nowhere wanting to claim my parking space. He even scolded my aunty for blocking his space. Obviously my aunt got there first, by foot of course, but does it matter? That's a claimed territory and anyone who can drive will tell you that that's my parking space right. He's so freaking rude to my aunt because she refuse to step out of the recctangle box. Well, his car blocked me from entering, so what the heck, I let him. I told aunt to step off. Why stood down to his level. It's so clear that this man in his 50's is no wiser than a 5th grade student. Bleck..
I drove off after my aunt jumped into the car, furious as hell. Then immediately we found a parking. What a better one, at the very main entrance to the mall. Well, sometimes be a little forgiving can actually makes you feel good inside you know.
Coach is on sales! So many handbags on 30% discount. Of course I wasn't there to buy anything, just for a little research on my own. After that, we went straight to supermarket to grab some groceries. How can Isaac not want Natos- the smelly fermented bean, and a temaki handroll if not a huge pack of sushi. One hour 30 minutes later, we went home. But only after an hour and 30 minutes later, we reach home. Phew!

Let's head to Europe next

Mom and the rest of the family just got home from Shanghai, China. Well, up till now, I heard enough complains from them, especially with the so unfriendly Chinese tour guide and lousy food. Apart from that, they had a good time bonding with each other, and a good time shopping. I was told that at the end of their trip, they were each given a questionnaire to complete, a rating on the tour, the tour guide, places they went and their accommodation. Well, nothing comparable to Ireland Hotels of course, but that's not their main issue there. It was the food they were served. Lousy, cheap food though they were told that they will be served hearty big meals before the trip. Bluff.
They were also asked what will be their next holiday destination, aunt note down Korea, while uncle said New Zealand. I suggested that for the next trip, we should head to Europe, since it's easy to find cheap and good Dublin Hotels or places like Cork Hotels. Furthermore, we have never been to Europe together, the whole bunch of us. Erm, I can imagine how fun it'll be when we just sit and talk over a cup of hot coffee in one of the Shannon Hotels, we'll sure have a good time. I know.

Fatigue is now my problem

I woke up to a bunch of loud aunties, my mom and cousins this morning, busy morning packing their luggage before heading straight to the airport after lunch. I so needed to sleep in, but they won. I tell you, my family is LOUD. Like real LOUD. I had to drag myself out of bed, because I have guests in the house. After they left, I jumped back into bed.
3 and a half hours of nap in the afternoon, and now sleepless night for me. Sigh. Like I mentioned before, I get tired so easily lately, I really need to find the root of 'my fatigue problem'. My darling hubs suggested that I get check for diabetic, oh holy moly, ain't he a little too far off the track? I know I had gestational diabetic when I was preggy with Shern, but that was just during pregnancy ok. Furthermore, I'm not the biggest fan of sweets, candies and such, so I'm not the most suitable candidate for diabetic, well at least I think so. Not at 29 anyway. Again, I need to make sure. He has got his points, he's just being caring. Thanks hun.

Memories of Nobody

I can imagine that if I'm a Manga character, I'll name myself Ichinotomy-Aricoto, which will bear the meaning the everlasting diva. Aha, sounds so princess-y I know, but if this character is me, then at least I want it to somehow reflects a part of who I am, right? Anyway, I'm surprised that Japanese Manga characters attracts more adults fans than little kids in the recent years. If you're one of the great die-hard anime fans, be sure to catch the release of Bleach the Movie : Memories of Nobody, which will be aired at selected movie theatres nationwide for two nights only, on June 11th and 12th at 7:30 PM. Mark your calendar,alright. You won't want to miss what happened to Ichigo and Soul Reapers next.

Ever seen a sour grape bride?

What a night. Hubs and I just got back home from a friend's wedding dinner. The bride is oh, such a sour grape. I hardly see her smile, let alone go around talking to guests at her own wedding. She just sat there all night long, and didn't even move an inch when the groom came over our table to greet us. So not friendly. Anyway, it's been a wonderful night catching up with all of hub's rally buddies. Amelia, a friend's daughter, brought along her Nintendo game boy, her portable DVD player with lots of DVD games. At only 9 years old, she's such a gadget girl. She even mentioned to me that she's a programmer! Oh yes, in her exact word "PROGRAMMER!" She's a robot programmer, her daddy confirmed it. I have no idea what she was talking about, it all sounds too complicated for me, too much for me to absorb in one night. She told me that she's one of the robotic programmer, you know how she makes the robot go when she program GO and how instruct the robot to twist/turn/flip or whatnot. Little genius even represents her school to compete with other programmers. I'm impressed!
I entertained her while her daddy had a good time drinking with all his buddies. And oh, by the end of the night, the groom is so drunk, the bride looked even more pissed. LOL. Who cares right.

Growing up, I didn't get the chance to buy nice decent clothings, I always get hands-me-down from both my elder sister. So you can imagine how much I envied my friend's Dockers pant.

My big fat family

Everyone who knows my family well will know that my family members are all NOT skinny. We're either huge/flabby/voluptous/bulky/fat/ or out of shape. I reckon I fall in the 'flabby and out of shape'. Elder sis loves to blame her 'bigger frame' on our long-gone grandpa. She always must emphasis that she has got grandpa's body when someone were to comment on her big frame. I don't know who else to blame, because right after I gave birth to my baby boy to this moment I'm typing this, there's no one second that I'm any skinnier than my twin sister or even my mother. Blame it on the pregnancy sometimes works.
But the way I see it, I have a family who loves food more than loving a nice curvy body shape. Oh yes, we love to be skinny, but everytime we smell something good, or when we have cravings (which we ALWAYS HAVE) we forget all about wanting a nice skinny body. No wonder we're all huge, and getting fatter everyday. SIGH!

Shape your future with myUsearch

If I ever get the chance to make my own decision, without the influence of what others has to say, I'm very sure I won't ever choose to study Business and Information Technology ever again. Though it somehow makes it easier for me to handle some easy peasy html code in my blog, I cannot imagine myself doing anything else IT related.

How I wished there was myUsearch back then. You know how students from out from high school normally have no idea what they want to be, let alone what subject to pick or which University to go. Wouldn't it be so much easier if everyone gets to pen down their thoughts and answer a questionairre to give them a clear idea of what their field of interest is. And the good thing is, it is totally free. All you prospective college student, give it a try. Let this shape your future the way you always wanted it to be. So back to where I left, I wish I can be a professional interior designer/ profesional photographer. Well, at least now I'm quite a professional in blogging. Not too bad.

Is it not OK to get straight to the point?

Last evening, I got a call from someone looking for me, so I thought this must either be someone I know or she really has got some serious business with me. You know, like a call from the tele-banker telling me that my loan is almost due, because I always wait till the very last minute to just do just about anything. That's just me. But no, she's not calling on behalf of any bank, but a hotel, offering me a free 2 days 1 night stay at the 5 star hotel. When I asked if there's anything I have to do, like listening to a free talk, she said no. Well, so how do you explain it when she said that I need to be there with my husband (mind you, that's a must) to collect the voucher, and there's a 45 minutes wait while they do the voucher processing, meanwhile they'll just serve us refreshment. Sounds so catchy. They must either trained their staff that way, or they seriously need more staffs to handle their voucher processing department. Perhaps it'll be good for them to get help from the executive search firm. I'm not buying into her not-so-straight forward talks, I said, no thanks and hang up.
