Got Cable anyone?

I can’t believe I survived ONE WHOLE YEAR without subscribing to cable. I thought I would shatter into a million pieces, not able to watch some of my fav series. Thankfully, the free TV here, have most of the good series… and yea..too bad for the kids. No Nick Jr or Playhouse Disney…tough luck. But, [...]

Mr.T is back..

and while he probably had the best conversion rate optimization, seeing that foreign exchange is weak, I thought I could get some rest. But guess what? I feel like I’m working doubly hard!!

Mr.T’s present

I’ve been mulling over what I should get for Mr.T’s present. To be honest, I’m not a very good wife. I really suck at getting him uber cool stuff. He often gets me super duper uber cool stuff, only that’s coz he doesn’t think like the rest of us mortal souls. I often wondered why [...]

Time for movies?

Ah..my sister in law just went for a movie. It’s been awhile since I was in a theater seating, dark atmosphere, surround sounds and eating buttery popcorn! Actually, I think I only went to a movie once in the last three years! Shocking, huh? A friend of mine suggested that I should go with Mr.T once [...]

My Xmas Tree

YAY! My tree is up!
The boys did help me put it up. Bless their lil fingers! So nimble! So deft! Unlike mine, big fat clumsy digits. Hmm… I’m only good for fixing up stuff..not putting delicate pretty things on trees. My No.2 was especially more cautious as I had already forewarned him several times, that [...]

Very Xmasssssy!

Over here..it’s getting real Xmassy. There are heaps of promotional products for sale! I mean, the retailers are just going nuts trying to rake in some business before the year ends. It’s the best time for all retailers to try to make as much money before everyone tightens up their belts. As it is, a [...]

Jingle jangle..

The tree is finally up! I have to take a picture of it soon. It took my one freaking hour just to put up the tree. Not the ornaments YET! I decided to place it near the kids’ bookshelves.
The last time I put up the tree was 2 years ago. I decided we would have [...]
