Stephen Lovely’s debut novel, “Irreplaceable” is a beautifully detailed story about the aftermath of a heart donation. It really asks you the question, “Would you consider organ donation now?”.
And “Why not?”. Why is the ‘heart’ the most glorified organ? Why should it be any different from a liver, eye or kidney? I guess in many [...]

Look, I’m no Tom cruise fan, but, I thought he played the role of the Les Grossman (the producer), in Tropic Thunder fairly disgustingly well. I mean, you just wanted to hate the guy! Apparently, they will be moving out of the US and into London! I wonder… if London has a Scientology branch there. [...]

I say this because Macs are truly the best. They are the easiest to work with and so seamless and fluid! I fell in love with the Mac, no thanks to my Hubs. Now, my SIL is also thinking of getting one, and is waiting for her laptop memory to go. She will use any [...]

Yesterday, there was an announcement from the Bonds’ manufacturer (Pacific Brands), that they had to axe 1,850 jobs. In fact, one of the bosses at Pacific Brands said that they should be thanked for allowing people to keep their jobs for this long. It’s a sad truth…but the world’s economy is coming down to a [...]

A few months ago, one mommy blogger bought some laptop tables for her family, which had some pretty cool cover designs. I saw it being sold at one of the shopping malls here, but didn’t really bother looking at it. Now, my hubs has brought back the iMac for me, whenever I’ve finished my chores, [...]

The recent (and still ongoing, actually) tragic Bushfires that took over 200 lives, ravaged so many towns and made 1000 over people homeless, was a tragedy beyond words. The very fact that many of these homes had asbestos ceilings, now has a far more devastating effect on everyone’s lives. Asbestos exposure has been the causal [...]

Heh…I’m talking about my beautiful jelly-belly. I’m done referring it as ‘ugly belly’. Gotta give some love sometimes.
My No.3 is almost 1 year old. Time flies, eh? And I’m pleased to say, the jelly belly is also almost going. Ok, in the morning, it’s a beautiful lil pouch. By evening, no thanks to gas and [...]

Valentine’s Day
I opened my windows to this day, with refreshed vigor
The air that filled my lungs
Were that of Black Saturday
Was that the smell of hopes perished?
Was that the smell of dreams cindered?
Was that the smell of death?
I am hundreds of miles away from this death scene,
I am nothing but an immigrant in this country.
And yet, [...]

My sister in law has a very, and I mean, very hard time finding a suit that fits her. She often doesn’t like the way it’s cut or the pants may be too long (well, she is a shortie..hee hee!). I found out about Roman Originals and found that they had very nice suits (and [...]

Today, out of the blue during breakfast, my 6 year old asked me about his great-grandfather. He remembered him, as he had a lot of fun everytime he visited the ancestral home. I was quite surprised as he was quite young at that time. I had earlier explained to him that his great grandfather died [...]
