Suddenly, without warning, my iPhone 3Gs died a few days ago. I had just finished a call when the screen flickered, then went blue, then showed only zigzag lines, then went white, then went blank. Or something like that. And I panicked.
All that afternoon, it refused to turn on. When it finally did in [...]
Anyone who’s a hands-on mum will tell you how impossible it is to devote much time to yourself. I gets lots of help from my in-laws and kakak, and even then it’s pretty hard to carve out me-time. Work doesn’t count. I want to read more, watch more good movies and TV shows, look at [...]
Embarrassingly, I am throwing in the towel on Project 365 after all of one month. It’s not just the taking of the photos, it’s also the sorting them out and uploading them that’s taking up more time than I’m willing to give right now.
Also, I’ve quickly realised that the tangible aspects of my life [...]
I heard about Whitney Houston’s passing on the radio yesterday morning. I almost never listen to the radio on Sundays, but it so happened that Jessie and I had gone out to what I call the never-ending hill in Taman Tun in a long overdue attempt to exercise, and I was on my way [...]
The Trouble Tones are so awesome it made me miss Blaine being in The Warblers a little less. This is easily one of my favourite Glee performances of all time. And I love how Santana (Naya Rivera) is really getting to spread her wings.
For Chinese New Year this year, we did something different. We visited my mum-in-law’s side of the family in California, which was equal parts thrilling (because I’d never been) and terrifying (because I have an almost two-year-old).
There’s nothing like a 29-hour journey, including transit time and travel time to and from the airports, to [...]
The sisters and I took Kaylin to Jungle Gym at Bangsar Shopping Centre the other day. It was Kaylin’s third time, my sisters’ first. Kaylin was pretty excited to hear she was going – I’d never seen her come down the stairs so fast before – but once we were inside, I have to say, [...]
Project 365 is probably one of the most ambitious things I’m going to attempt this year. To actually remember to take a photo every single day of the year is not as easy as it sounds. It’s only been 12 days and I’ve already found myself taking last minute photos at 11.30pm, or yes, taking [...]
A little bit of awesomeness to start the still-new year. Taken from here.
Nobody ever told me that in addition to diapers and formula and clothes and toys, I would also be forking out hundreds of ringgit to replace my glasses because Kaylin can twist and turn them into shapes I never thought possible. Like she has superhuman strength or something. The upside to that is, I [...]
