The Driver Fell Asleep

The weirdest thing happened to me on my trip back to Singapore this time. While at Singapore Tuas checkpoint, all of us thought we were waiting for some chap who was having problems with immigration. However after about half hour of no aircon and no sight of the driver doing headcount, some of the male passengers went downstairs to the driver seat to find him fast asleep!!!! Like OMG right???

I Miss This Blog

Azwaj got a few guitars in his collection but I don’t think he has one from the joe signature guitar series. I don’t think I’d be able to afford one to buy him as a gift any time soon but I reckon it’s the thought that always count right?

Anyhow.. I miss blogging here.. I should start blogging more for sure. It’s not for lack of materials but I guess I just need to be a little bit more discipline eh… Sigh

Live Music While I Work

Azwaj had a jamming session last night with a friend and it was awesome. He was with his yamaha guitar and his friend was playing bass. He had his amplifier out and everything . One thing missing was a singer.

I was working in the home office but it sure feels like I was at some pub listening so some live music. I was also munching on some chips and was having my very own three layer tea. Super awesome!

Water Rationing Calendar - April 2014

It’s another month of water rationing for Selangor and unfortunately for us our condo area is affected for this phase as well. The rationing will be till end April and the management office has kindly come up with this timeable so that the residents will be prepared before hand.  Sigh.. look at all those crosses..

I Need New HeadPhones

Shows like Gossip Girl, Grey’s Anatomy and Boldie are not Azwaj’s cup of tea and since I always tend to rewind parts that I truly enjoy, I tend to enjoy it more when I have my headphones are… which comes to the topic of headphones. I desperately need to get a new one as the one that I currently own has sound on only one side! I can’t wait to get one similar to the the best ultrasone headphones found at guitarcenter.com.

Time to go shopping!

Kids Will Be Kids

Kids, furkids.. they are all the same. Whenever me or Azwaj start doing something, the kids (well in our case, furkids) always make sure they are still the center of attention.  In this case, Azwaj was changing the strings on one of his guitars and working from the dining area. As Azwaj had to remove the tremolo (I can’t be sure if he got the floyd rose tremolo at guitar center or if it already came with  the guitar) I guess the kids wanted to make sure it was put back right. Good job kids!

Stressed Equal Weight Loss

I don’t think I will need any oxycodone detox for now as all these personal stress that I am under right now is enough to make me lose 5kilos in less than one month! I seriously don’t know if I should be celebrating but it does make me feel good in way. Some people eat more when they are stressed out, me on the other hand totally lose my appetite to the point where I actually feel nauseated and start vomitting. Bad but oh so true.

Oh well, my body is happy but I need to make my mind happy now.. Wish me luck!

That Feeling...

what am i feeling??
that feeling when someone has a set of keys and at any moment they can open the door and your life will change!
that feeling when there are dots on a clean canvas and you’re not sure if it can be cleaned or it will stain forever…
that feeling when you think you filled the puzzle but found out that there is still room for one more piece…
that feeling when you feel you you want to give up but something is telling you to fight..
that feeling that tells you this is not the way to feel coz you are strong..
that feeling that you tell yourself to keep in check coz you are overthinking stuff..
that feeling that you just feel like you died inside and wished that you did indeed died..
that feeling that you don’t know what the hell you are feeling and suppose to feel…

Lifestyle Is the Key to Health and Wellness

Staying healthy isn’t as simple as you may think. The food and diet industry does their best to offer magical weight loss solutions in the form of “super-foods” and “revolutionary” diets. Many people see short-lived success by slightly tweaking their daily routine. A bit more water, a bit less candy, and voila! Instant results. Basically, a short term lifestyle change brings about results. Unfortunately, people are highly likely to get right back into their old habits once they achieve their desired goals. This leads to a rebound effect. The only way to achieve permanent changes in health, physique, and fitness is to strive for permanent changes in lifestyle. This doesn’t mean giving up a certain type of food completely. It means eating mostly healthy foods and practicing moderation with treats. It also means being physically active for extended periods every day at varying intensities. Check out a website like www.nihf.com for more helpful information.

Make Time for a Healthy Lifestyle

Many people argue and complain about not having enough time for a healthy lifestyle. They don’t have the time to prepare their food let alone eat it all. This type of thinking inevitably leads to the people having to make time for being sick or injured from poor lifestyle habits. You can either make time for a healthy lifestyle or you will need to make time for the inconveniences that will undoubtedly come from living an unhealthy lifestyle. If you need to save time, buy yourself a powerful blender. You can blend up a full day’s worth of vegetables with a bit of fruit and drink it down in minutes. This can save you time and give you a healthy energy boost to kick start your day.

Move Your Body and Reap the Benefits

Arguably the most important part of a healthy lifestyle is staying active. Movement of the human body is a kind of language. People love to play and move their body when they are young. Then they grow up and stop moving as much for whatever reason. Once a person stops moving as much, their body acclimates to the amount of work it is doing. Muscles atrophy from disuse and posture deteriorates. All that is needed to gain the love of movement again is to start moving! Light beginner’s yoga and walking are both great ways to get moving again. Check out a helpful site like www.nihf.com for more details.

The Ring

When you decide to get engaged, there are plenty of things you’ll need to do. You’ll have to choose the perfect location for your wedding ceremony. You’ll need to pick out your wedding colors, the best gown and matching tuxedos for everyone. You’ll have to choose a caterer. You’ll have to choose a florist.

But before you can do any of that, you have to pick out an engagement ring. Moissanite engagement rings are beautiful. Shop conveniently online for something your beloved is sure to love and cherish forever. Because Moissanite has an online catalog, there is a huge inventory of in-stock products.

You can also find more extravagant rings with large diamonds, emeralds or even sapphires if your girlfriend prefers something fancy. If you’re proposing to your boyfriend, find engagement rings just for him. Moissanite offers a huge variety of men’s rings that any man will love.

Find something in gold or silver in just his size. Order it online from the convenience of your home and, as soon as the ring arrives, you can pop the question and start with your wedding plans.

Sunglasses Over Glasses

I love wearing sunglasses not only for protecting my eyes from the sun but also it makes you look so chic right? Anyway I used to wear them a lot back when I was wearing contact lenses but then I stopped when I got eye infection. Since then I either get the kinda frame with magnetic shades or those transition lenses that change color when I am in the sun.

Recently though I found a pair of sunglasses that go over my prescription glasses. It’s so cool and I love it! I mean it’s not like it’s ray ban aviator sunglasses or anything but then at least now I can wear my glasses and and sunglasses all the same time.. Awesome!

Relaxed and Recharged

I am back from my nine days “vacation” from visiting my mom back in my hometown Singapore. It was nine days packed with activity though I nearly had a flu episode on one of those days (thank goodness it stopped coz I started stuffing myself with vitamin C..lol). Needless to stay me and mommy had fun. We had a facial session, ice cream session, persian food delivery and shopping session together. On my own I had an additional hair treatment session, mani/pedi session,a girls get together with a friend and a cousin and even close on one website deal!. Phew tight schedule but just the way I like it 🙂

I am now relaxed and recharged and ready to rock to roll on the work front. Bring it on 🙂

Gonna Be An Awesome Year

When you are my age, and I’m not saying that I am that old but yeah, when you are in my age group, you tend to not make a big fuss about birthdays. I mean, I remember other people’s birthdays all the time, making sure I wish them happy birthday via text messages, facebook or twitter, or even a birthday ecard, but my own? … Well, it’s just another number to me and as the number gets bigger, I tend to not want candles at all on the birthday cake, for fear the cake might collapse under the weight of all of them – lol!

That being said, this year I had an awesome pre-birthday party. It wasn’t anything like the birthday parties long island that my overseas friends used to have when they were kids (great products to view by the way if you have kids), and it wasn’t exactly MY birthday, but the pool party was a day before my birthday so it seemed like a good enough celebration right? There was a tent, lights, decorations and even a stage which means entertainment.. and of course there was food. There was plenty of delicious food and drinks, and I told my Azwaj that if it was on my actual day, I would have bought a cake that night! And you know what? As I was looking at the lucky picks, my lucky draw number was called … so YES, I even won something in the lucky draw session that night. How awesome is that right?

I always love the number 44 (that’s me this year) and now it’s another reason to love it more. So far I’ve had an awesome party, won at a lucky draw and just earlier this month, I got a free all expense paid trip to Kuching, Sarawak. Yep, this year is looking awesomely fantastic!

I Need A New Work Area

I sometimes wish I have a work area with adjustable levers that move with me as oppose to me needing to adjust to it. I mean sometimes I need to do some work and because of the height of my desk, I need to lower my posture meaning I am close to slouching which I hate coz it makes my back ache. My chair ain’t helping either because it’s old and the hydraulics are off.. I need a new work area!!!

I Love This! All to Myself.. Not sharing with Azwaj!!

Ok.. that’s off my chest.. thank you.. lol!

Still Figuring Out

Each time I shop in Singapore, I always try to find something I can find for Azwaj. I reckon the easiest thing to get him would be something related to guitars. Unfortunately although I have married him for nearly 13 years (this coming March), I, sadly, am not too sure of what he fancy. I may see some affordable guitar straps that are to me looks very nice, but to him it is not his style at all.

 

So, I do the next best thing and let him shop and checkout using my paypal instead.. lol

Hectic Week

Wow! The last week of 2012 proved to be a hectic one for me. I reckon all those prayers that some people do while sitting on their church chairs or temples succeeded in stopping the world from ending 😉 and I was fortunately  busy not because of work but rather having a week full of fun and joy.

1. I attended my niece’s wedding last Saturday and met up with many of my aunts and cousins.
2. I met up with friends on Christmas eve and Christmas day
3. I spent some quality time with mom, shopping and eating
4. I, finally, went to Universal Studios Singapore last Thursday (more of that later).. Yeay!

 

Anyway, the new year is coming people. What are your plans for the countdown?

Happy December All

So the wedding that I was supposed to go with my mom actually turned out to be on 22nd December and not on the 2nd as told by one of my aunt. There goes my planning. But you know what.. it turned out to be blessing as I really wouldn’t be able to enjoy my trip this time knowing Smokey, my fur-kid, is not feeling well. God always does his planning right, that’s for sure.

So my USS trip is pushed back to 27th December (hoping for a sun shining day) and since 26th is my mom’s off day from her stall, everything worked out perfectly!

..oh happy December everyone! Ready or not 2013 is sneaking up on us!

Where Did that Nail Go?

I was preparing dinner yesterday and while cutting the onions my knife slipped and I “think” I hurt my finger but since there was no blood, I didn’t think anything of it until I start washing the dishes and my finger hurt like mad. I stopped everything and upon inspection I found a part of my nail on my forefinger had broken and a little part of the skin was exposed and had turned red.

It’s not too bad but it does hurt a little when I used that particular finger.. the bad part is I don’t know what happened to that tiny part of my nail. OMG I think it got mixed up with my onion. .ol!
