What the *toot*?
What do you always do first thing before you blog? For me, I’ll check my analytics. You know – keywords, referrals and so on. Today’s analytic reading is really something I tell you. Let me share with you guys. First, I got this: My visit stats is showing me her middle finger.. What the ??? OK, never mind. This happens very often, so just ignore it. And then, I had to go check my referrals~lah […]

3053 – 4d Magnum – 3+1d – Sports Toto
Finally it’s done :P Only silly people like me will do such a thing in that order. You know what? Well, it went like this: 1) Scout for a place to set up my studio 2) Found it and started planning on what to do since the place is simply horribly messy! 3) Did nothing for the next two months due to lack of ideas, lack of motivation and lack of time… 4) Finally got […]

Proton Saga – The very first National car
This was my Dad’s first brand new car. Those days, people drove mostly second hand cars until Malaysia came out with her very own pride and joy – the Proton Saga. Do you know that the name “Saga” was chosen from the winner of the contest which was held to choose the first car’s name, Ismail Jaafar, a retired military soldier. Dad immediately bought this beauty and took care of it so well. A decade […]

I’m…. spinning around!
I’m feeling faint! I guess I’ve looked down way too long and now that I look up, the whole world is spinning! NO. We did not just got hit by a hurricane. Why are the chairs scattered around you ask? That’s because I just washed them. This is what I’ve been doing today. Washing chairs and LOTS more. So many things to wash and thank goodness the Sun is shining brightly! Ethan and I hardly […]

Bliss! The birthday egg *no time to make them red* We then […]

Glorious cars
Darling has a new ‘job’ – reviewing cars. That was what we have been doing the past months or so. It would be nice if I was the one test driving it but I can’t for TWO major reasons; I don’t drive and I know nuts about cars! Ethan and I would sometimes tag along in some of the rides. I now know the differences between a sedan, an MPV and a SUV! LOL! Yeah, […]

Blood sucker!
That fella flew around my ears so many times. I tried to ‘hantam dia mati’ but failed. In the end, I fell asleep. While we were fast asleep, that blood sucker feasted on Ethan. It was having the time of its life feasting buffet style. Bite here, there and everywhere! Next morning when we woke up, Ethan had at least ten bites all over his face, ears, hands and feet! JAGA you blardy blood sucker. […]

So it keeps on spinning
I have a very weird habit when I’m in front of my PC. No matter how cold or hot or whatever the weather is like, I need the fan to be switched ON. I am not talking about a stand fan or the ceiling fan but my USB fan. I need to listen to the sound of the fan more than needing to feel the breeze. I’d get pretty restless if the fan is switched […]

What’s happening to MY hair?
Each night before I go to sleep, I’ll make sure the room floor is clean and if there are hair strands on it I’ll vacuum it away. BUT every morning when I wake up, I’ll definitely see THIS! V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V Clumps of hair on the floor! The only time I experienced such drastic hair loss was shortly after giving birth […]

Aiks! Poor Darling! But what to do? He said he doesn’t need to celebrate it. OK, one question here to the guys. When a guy says he doesn’t need any celebration, does he really […]

The staircase is not the place for…
sleeping! If you are a smart parent, you will NEVER let your kid sleep on the stairway! Being a first time mother I was ‘a little bit’ stupid then, I did not get any child safety gates at all for our home. Back then, Ethan was afraid of plush toys. I placed dinosaur and lion plush toys at the sides of the stairway thinking that they will scare him away. True enough, whenever he crawled […]

Nap no more?
After reading my Out on a Budget blog entry, several mommies asked me if Ethan does not nap anymore. The answer is unfortunately YES, he does NOT nap anymore these days :( He needs to be extremely tired to want to nap. So you know why I WANT to be out at least twice a week. I need to get out or else I’ll be nuts tending after all his needs 24/7. The good side […]

Argentina humiliated… 4-0
There goes Diego Maradona’s dream of hoisting the World Cup both as a player and as a manager! It came to a humiliating end today when Germany trashed Argentina 4-0. With Germany scoring their first goal as early as in the 3rd minute, Argentina sure is not looking good. As Panda Foong says it, “It must be because of the Feng Shui!” Lionel Messi.. It’s so heart-breaking! sobs! *You know he’s the ONLY player I’m […]

Empty… but clean
Yesterday, gua macam mo mati cleaned up the entire house; all because Darling decided to get a new air-cond for the Master Bedroom and take the current air-cond to my Studio. There are 3 air-conds in the Studio so old or new doesn’t matter :P Because of THAT, we had to empty our Master Bedroom. Everything had to be carried out except our King size bed that I gave up carrying. It was also the […]

Out on a budget
I just can’t stay home 24/7/365. I need to go out jalan jalan cari makan or else I’ll be cranky. When I was working I was ok. Now that I am no longer teaching outside, I get bored pretty easily. The same applies to Ethan too. He’s the exact replica of me remember? :P Darling’s solution is simple. On the way out to work, he’ll drop us at either my second or third home. The […]
