Ching Ming Festival

It was really crowded this year, probably also due to the fact that we went on a public holiday and also quite near to the Ching Ming exact date.

We had a hard time finding a table. So there was a new method this year, to make full use of the table space, or the lack of it.

My sweet god son

When they were at the market yesterday, my god-son suddenly asked KW - 给干妈看要不要？

Have not seen him for quite a while. I was so happy when he still remembered me when i saw him last week, chatting and playing with me incessantly :D

The Price of Beauty by Jessica Simpson

Though I've never been a big fan of Jessica Simpson, this new reality series really caught my eye. Jessica Simpson goes around the world to find out what is beauty to women in different cultures and what these women would do for beauty.

Caught an episode online today. Do you know that eating bugs like cockroaches speeds up your metabolism?? At least that is what they believe in Thailand!

PS: Warning - Try to overlook the bimbotic side of her, which unfortunately, still shows itself in the series :p

You go girl! You deserve sooo much better!

Sandra Bullock Files for Divorce? Rumor or Fact? BY: Michelle Lamar First Published: Mar 31 AT 5.20 pm

Did Sandra Bullock file for divorce from her loser husband, Jesse James? Or is it a rumor?

The Stir reports that the rumor is true and that their sources say Sandra has filed. There are other reports of Sandra filing for divorce but there has been no “official” confirmation that Bullock has filed.

RadarOnline reports that their experts say the “damage Jesse James has done” to his marriage is too big to repair and the celeb site hints that the marriage is pretty much over. RadarOnline interviewed sex addiction specialists who weighed in on the situation. Dr. Bethany Marshall told the celebrity website:

In this case, the damage is so great, it can’t be repaired. And that’s when it’s too much, when the damage and the humiliation is profound. He [Jesse] humiliated Sandra publicly. In this case, the cheating came out as she was achieving her greatest success, which suggests envy and a wish to tear her down, and that’s going to be evident in other aspects of their relationship as well.

My current favourite song

Rinnnnnnnnng!

An important help to me in the kitchen. But sometimes, it really gives me a fright when it goes off. Especially in the morning, when I am only half awake, preparing breakfast and trying to concentrate on cutting the tomatoes instead of my finger.

The start of the day

Woke up at 7am this morning.

Made breakfast, boiled water, washed up, put in a fresh load of laundry, kissed hubby goodbye, ate my breakfast, took down yesterday's laundry, hung today's laundry out to dry, washed the dishes and kept the groceries from yesterday's trip to the supermarket.

It's now 9am. Hmmm.... what shall I do for the rest of the day?

Brilliant!

毛毛虫

While talking to my hubby yesterday afternoon, i was just telling him how a 毛毛虫 fell on our poor god son, causing him to have rashes and a small black patch at the back of his neck.

And last night, i had a bad dream about 毛毛虫!!!! The house was full of them and they kept growing bigger and bigger. YUCKS!!!!

Next time, i should talk more about sweets, flowers and.... handbags!

No it's not just about the money

Met up with a friend who took a 5 months break last year. When we were swapping stories, we realised a common point. Whenever we tell friends that we are currently not working, one of their very first reactions would be - Wow you must be rich!

Yes, i admit money is an important factor, but it is not the main factor. Sometimes people just need a break from work, just need to relax and enjoy life at a slower pace! Plus if your financial commitments are not high in the first place, then i'm sure you will be able to manage since we spend a lot less while not working.

And of course it really helps to live near your mum and be able to settle your meals there!

Book - Digital Fortress by Dan Brown

Excellent book, really difficult to put down! It wasn't as technical and complicated to follow as i expected. The story is really easy to follow and it keeps you going until you reach the end. Highly recommended!

I wonder.... how many disappointments we need to go through before we can really be immune to them?

Book - Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult

Yet another heart-warming page turner by Jodi Picoult. And yet another story with a slightly unexpected ending. But i didn't like this ending again... Think i should stop reading her books, at least for now, cos i feel so frustrated reading all the way to find this ending.

Dinner or dessert?

Having a Spinach with Egg burger at Starbucks with our friends.

Out sick

Have been out sick for the past week. Was having fever for 7 straight days and also flu for most of that time. It was crazy. Doc said it was likely due to the crazy hot weather.

So have not been doing much for one whole week, did not even go out.

Suddenly felt a burst of energy to clear my past 6 months of filing that has been sitting in the in-tray! All done! Next is to help my hubby clear his, which is twice as high my stack was :p

Making?

Friend: Can you be a referee for me for my uni application?
Me: Sure, what do you need from me?
Friend: Just your occupation and address. Housewife?
Me: Put homemaker, sounds nicer.
Friend: So what are you making at home?
