I don’t dare to shower

You know, during the time when I was pregnant, my friends and I had a few discussions about confinement. The topics ranged from an experiment a friend of a friend held (had 2 kids, did 1 confinement and tried going without confinement for the 2nd child), and to how Caucasians had a different body constitution from ours (they eat lotsa red meat, we don’t, blablabla) and henceforth they were not affected by these supposed bouts of rheumatism if... Read More

The 20 Percent

On March 14th, I was carrying a 5 week old fetus inside me. On April 1st I contemplated telling people “I’m Pregnant!” as an April’s Fool day joke, but decided against it as I think I’ll be bombarded with questions (for real) and also, my parents didn’t want me to tell everyone, so I didn’t. But some of you guys closer to me knew anyway, which was something I never regretted – thank you for the support... Read More

Highlights of 2011…. Wordy post

1. Got Married (21st May, 2011) at Carlton. Frankly, the venue was okay, price was good, but the food was only so-so. Guess something’s got to give! My lovely husband nearly wanted to kill the female banquet manager at some point. Hahaha. I love the fun we had preparing for the entire event, and I’m really thankful to my wonderful friends to helping me out. And also the husband who was very patient with me and my needs. Wedding Video: I... Read More

My New iPhone 4S… Not.

iPhone 4S 64GB, White. With my beautiful japanese fabric hard cover my-wasabi.com case purchased from Japan. <3 I have been waiitiiingggg so long for the 4S but when it finally arrived, and I got it plugged it and powered up… I was really disappointed. Of ALL things, my phone came with what some people dub the “yellowgate” problem. Basically it means that the phone has a yellowish tinge. It REALLY annoys me as it is really a... Read More

HDB

Our notice to pay the lease for our Corporation Tiara hdb flat came in the mail yesterday. It just makes me think/wonder how HDB allocates their houses. Use Random.org ah? Yang’s married couple friends have been trying to apply for a flat without much success… From when they were a fiance/fiancee back in 2006, to a married couple, and now, they’re PARENTS of a cute little girl. THEY JUST GOT THEIR 14TH REJECTION. (they did reject... Read More

Ironing Chronicles

Dear Fiance/Husband-to-be The first thing i’m gonna give away to the salvation army is this shirt of yours that’s taking me 25 mins to iron. 25 mins!!!! I iron like 3 times over everywhere and I STILL can see wrinkles. I can put full wayang make up on faster man. I have never seen a shirt more stubborn than this. It looked fine and all crisp on the ironing board, but once I hold it up.. my jaw drops in horror… It looks like it hasn’t... Read More

Interactivity + Does anyone know of Crossposting plugins to drupal!?

Sometimes I feel that blogging in a “community” is so much more interactive than blogging on my own domain. A “community” like OnSugar (drupal), and Livejournal. It’s so much easier to leave comments without having to fill in your particulars again and again. I tried to find a way to cross post to drupal (onsugar) but there’s no plugin for that! Does anyone know of anything? Pbfffft! I’m suddenly very grateful... Read More

The Maid and 2 Used Condoms

Some time ago, I had a showdown with the maid. The house had a power failure and we went around trying to find the problem… and realized that she was not at home. At 11+ pm. At 1145pm, she appeared from the backdoor, with a few Sheng Shiong plastic bags. Me: Where did you go? Her: Buy groceries Me: At this time? Her: Yah. What’s wrong with that Me: I just think that if you’re going out at this time, you should at least inform one... Read More

Wedding Prep

It seems like when you’re a bride-to-be or when you get engaged, the whole world will be asking you questions like these: “So when’s your wedding?” “How’s your prep?” “Buying house or not?” “Are you inviting me for dinner/to be your sister?” Okay so no one’s actually really shameless enough to ask the last, HAHAHAHA. But yes these questions pop up so often and some people are... Read More

Getting forgetful

I nearly lost my laptop. Or rather, Yang did. We lost it for a whole of probaby, 7 minutes. Had a long day and we were looking for a place to eat after settling our outdoor shoot gowns. After trudging and walking around for about 15 mins, we finally settled at a chap chai png stall along tanjong pagar food market. And after we’ve finished, we happily went over to the bread shop… then back to 7-11 and got a copy of 8 days… to the... Read More

Huh? I prefer Apples.

My jaw dropped when I saw someone writing a post about how she prefers the PC and IE. Hahahaha. Nothing wrong with preferences, the sheep still uses a PC and so do a huge portion of my friends, but her blog post really made me crack up. I’m not against this person or dislike her blog, but perhaps she should read up before typing all these about apple’s products. Not that I blame her, but… well. Just to set some stuff straight about... Read More

My take on travelling

I chose to be freelance/be my own boss, and I’d very much prefer to retain the lifestyle I’m having now. In my opinion, I work best at home and it’s wonderful, to be able to just wake up, flip my laptop cover and work. Going somewhere just takes up so much of my time. And it isn’t really enjoyable if it’s not a date (where of cos, i’ll pay more attention to the make up and hair) or if i’m not going out with... Read More
