Doing It The "Who Wore It Better?" Way

The Times

from Ben

The Times is back. But pregnant go gig tak happening lah. How da?

Modernist in Me

I'm still a mod at heart lah.

Mister and I saw this for $620 and got us hyperventilating.

Lunch-time Haircut

Try it if you haven't!
Getting a minty shampoo and relaxing head massage during your work break is the thing to go for. Try doing on a blah Monday or Wednesday. Coming back to office with hair fresh from a salon makes me feel like I'm done up for an occasion. Now I feel like I should head down to the salon before I go into labour so I won't look like I had not slept in a thousand years when I get guests. Okay, at least that's a good point if I'm confirmed for a C-section.


Excuse my stye. I'm holding on to surgery until the baby comes out.

In-spiral-tional

Munchkin's spiral locks look perfect only in the mornings before her shower after which, it just turns into a huge mess where The Matriarch named "Rambu- Ramba".

Hard to Swallow?

This morning, a student thought I was another student and he said I look young when I told him I'm a staff. Being 7 months pregnant, I thought that was hard to swallow but considering the fact that I've swallowed things that are harder to swallow before, I'll take this one willingly with grace, thank you.

Taken for Granted

Often we don't realise how important the things around us are until we lose them. The sudden demise of an old fridge left the family desperate for chilled storage space especially when it happened a day after an extensive grocery shopping. And an urgent buy for a replacement wasn't so easy when you're an electrical appliance idiot and had to choose a product that has a price range of 500 to 2k over. This is also the time when you're truly grateful of those 0% interest installment schemes offered by retailers and credit card companies. So the next time you apply a credit card, you know what to look out for.

Vibrating Devices

Getting birthday gifts is the hardest because I'm a woman of all things practical. I have yet to get one for the Matriarch's 60th (can apply senior citizen ezlink already ok?). I'm so hardcore about giving practical gifts that I made the Mister do the same. Once he bought me a digital camera for my birthday, I got so worried about him buying me an expensive gift again that last year, I actually made a request for a vibrating device that I can stick into my mouth every morning and night.

Punked or Not Punked?

Strange is when you're resting your eyes while taking the train ride home from work when you're rudely awakened by a sudden exclamation of your name, only to open your eyes to three unfamiliar young girls standing in front but facing away from you with one of them (Girl A) still repeatedly calling (your name) loudly to her friend (Girl B) who was inches next to her. Later all three were seated separately but Girl A instructed Girl C to sit next to Girl B whom this time, she called by another name but immediately after, loudly repeating the instruction using your name.

I was confused. The whole scenario might not have anything to do with me but it actually felt like an unsuccessful attempt of punking me.

Shaving Down South

One of the hardest thing to do when you're heavily pregnant is shaving down your southern region. The portable mirror becomes your best bathroom-friend but still tough to bend over when you're hitting the more intimate areas. If only I'm not too wimpy to do a Brazilian.

"...really cute..."

heh heh heh.

I can't believe even now, there are still people who publicly mention how cute my Mister is. Not that I mind, of course. But I miss having that as a subject of giggles with GNat.

I'm so good at snooping around.

O@G

I want to see them play esplanade this friday.

But Munchkin how?

Re-decorated!

I'm in a "reviving" phase. Trying to revive blog, revive snapping random pics, revive my cosy corner, revive my pregnant vanity.

It's nice to settle in to my workstation for the past couple of mornings with a newly redecorated corner.

I wanna live like common people

My user stat shows I've been on blogger since March 2001. Has it been that long, really?

We shall not get down to details of the changes that have taken place, shall we? That would waste hours of time.

I can't exactly give a reason to why I'm back here but let's just say that since I became a mother, being pro-active in local motherhood forums made me want to be one of them typical blogging mommy.

I won't have anything hip to post about. I haven't been to gigs and such. A typical blogging mommy usually posts about their monster/s, cooking and anything domestic. I've entered the DARKSIDE. lor.

The Return

Hello blogspot. I'm back. Like after 5 years or so?
