Darling had to ask Ethan who is the better cook? My SIL or ME? And Ethan answered, “Kuku…” (which also means my SIL-lah). You know who was the happiest then? No prize for guessing.. yeah.. my MIL! It’s no secret I’m […]

Flame – BLUE or RED?

When I’m concentrating on something and he asks me a question I’ll just nod and say YES no matter what […]

Camera memory card not responding
I got a BIG scare this morning when my loyal memory card did not respond when I slotted it in my PC’s card reader. A friend once told me that a card reader only has that much of a life span and if I slot it in the card reader every single day I am just cutting its lifespan short. But seriously I can’t help it as I needed those pictures on a daily basis. […]
