I've neglected my blog due to laziness

O.M.G.

I last blogged in September - That's the mid of Spring. And it's now the start of autumn - I've totally missed blogging the whole summer! Someone told me that blogging is pretty much like going to the gym; Once you start, you'd be energeticly on the roll but once you've stop, there goes the blogging. It's seriously hard to start blogging again as everyday I'd tell myself "Ok, I'm so going to blog today about this this and that that" but I just end up neglecting it all together at the end of the day and yes, the phrase of 'there's always tomorrow' popped up very frequently the last few months!

Ah, me and my lazy ass. Or rather lazy fingers.


Crikey!

Summer's gone by in a blink of an eye (and yes my hair grew longer as well...). The weather's starting to be wet and gloomy here in Sydney, I miss the sun and warm weather where I could just go out in singlets and shorts!
Since I would probably be 'home bound' more often in the next 6 mths, I thought that I'd better start being active in blogging again. Get my blogging-modjo back and maybe earn some mulla from it?

So watch this space people... I'll be back!

Chef Mandy

Hubbii loves to eat cantonese fried noodle whenever he's in Malaysia. There's a little coffee shop in my neighbourhood area back home that serves 1 of the best cantonese fried noodles and never once he skipped eating in that shop when he's back.

Saying that, I decided to surprise him by cooking it last night. And boy, I surprised myself!


Bet you want some of this..

The end result turned out pretty good. I did improvised some of the stuffs like adding more flavour to the prawns marinade, adding more chicken stock and pepper etc but shucks, I didn't know I really had it in me to cook up a noodle dish as such!

Here's the website (by Amy Beh) if you guys wanna try it :)

Guess who's hopeless in cleaning up the house?

The weeks are going by so quickly these days. I can't believe that October's just around the corner already!

As I've been so darn busy with work, I hardly had any time to clean the house and pick up after hubbii. He's just hopeless when it comes to him initiating any cleaning... the only thing he's good at initiating is sex and cleaning his own car! OK, maybe abit too much info but heck, don't think it's any new news on guys & sex.

Just look at what I've found in the fridge after not doing any house-keeping for a week:


Yes, freaking moldy strawberries!! I swear there's at least 3000 live bacterias growing in that little container!

Hubbii has his 'own' room i.e. mainly to store his clothes. Last Saturday, he bought this gym equipment where he wanted to place it in that room. Gosh, you should have seen the amount of rubbish and dust and dirt in his room when he told me he wanted to place it in his room WITHOUT doing any cleaning up before that.

I told myself I won't nag over the weekend (was in Melbourne for biz trip on Thurs & Fri). But sadly, I nagged at least 5 times during the weekend! I should have taken a photo of his messy room and post it up here for u guys to judge! Hmmph.

Ok, enough of me complaining. I just had to get it off my chest as he's just turning me into this naggy wife :(

Sigh. I need to go church more often and pray for patience! And maybe take up Yoga... or pilates. Hmmm.

Ah, the sun came out to play

It was yet another beautiful weekend here in Sydney. This time, I couldn't resist not going to the beach!



Pretty busy at work now, will blog more later.

Weekend highlights

What a difference a week makes. My ass was frozen the previous rainy Saturday with high temp of 8 degrees day time and 2 degrees nite, but it warmed up last Saturday to sunny high of 30 degrees day time and 11 degrees nite!

It was a lovely Saturday. I finally wore my fav light denim 3/4 pants AND sandals AND just carried a little cardigan out for in case. Not long pants, jacket and boots!
Sadly, it then rained almost the whole of Sunday and temperature fell till about 24 degrees day time and 9 degrees nite. Not too bad - anything's better than a freaking rainy 8 degrees.
It's stabilized to about 18-19 degrees day time now.

Although the weather's pretty good during the weekend, I wasn't happy at all on both nites.
Saturday nite - Man U lost to Liverpool
Sunday nite - Kimi came in at 9th place, thus not scoring for 3 consecutive weeks

Man. I can't believe how Man U scored their own goal for Liverpool and then couldn't recover at all! They were playing so well the 1st 20 mins and after the blunder by Van De Sar, it was clearly Liverpool dominated the game. Sigh.

As for F1 - at least the winner wasn't Hamilton or Massa! So just a small little comfort there given that Kimi's so far from the world title now. Sigh.

OK, enough of my whining!


RSPCA Million Paws Walk on 18th May 2008

On top of the fantastic weather, lousy sports results, my highlight for the week has to be my shopping goodies!

Well, I was aiming to get a thong (as in flip flops, not G-strings....) and 1 of those cool gladiator shoes (love it!) but I ended up getting some other shoes which wasn't quite a thong and no where near gladiatorish. Erm.... I got myself..... 5 pair of shoes on Sunday...... 2 casual sandal-ish, 1 cute babydoll-ish & 2 for work!

I don't know what happened really. Maybe it was the upset from the Man U game that lead me to the sudden splurge. Hmm.
It could have been just 4 pairs, but the final pair (the work one) was really from a buy 1 get next at 50% deal, so it wasn't worth it to stop at just 1 pair from that shop...

So ladies, if you're feeling down and blue, head to your nearest shop for retail therapy.
It works!

Brand new look

I browsed high and low for a perfect photo to put at my blog header and I just couldn't find one. And after giving it much thoughts, since this blog's mainly about my life, why not put up photos of me, me and me? haha!

Ok, I know it's abit too much but I'll change it as soon as I find my perfect photo alrighty? :)

Chooey our little baby

Hi Everyone,

Meet Chooey!

Chooey in hubbii's footy jersey

Chooey's a bulldog which I've adopted from Ikea in July.


This was the day he captured my eyes!

He watches TV with us
He comes along in the car for drives
He sleeps on the bed with us


Chooey's little crib

He reads magazine when I'm reading mine
He loves to dance and shake his butt


Chooey reading

Ah, how dull would our lives be if we haven't got Chooey?


Happy family

P/s: No, I'm not going crazy!
