Recently there had been a lot of hoo ha in the local blogosphere about the drop of page rank due to Pay Per Post ads or other unknown reasons. I had never taken on PPP ads but strangely, my PR dropped from 3 to 2. Ah well.
Now that people are veering away from PPP ads for fear of further jeopardising their PR, I discovered Smorty is more selective in terms of advertisers and not on Google’s blacklist, which is a big plus point. So now you can get paid for …

I got to know Cheryl in the most goofy way. Her picture on Facebook caught my eye (of course it would, she is drop dead gorgeous) and I added her after finding her familiar but just being unable to place it. And of course, it hit me later, of course, this is Ms Universe Singapore of 1999.
Cheryl is no pretty bimbo, mind you. She wields two Masters and a Phd and is pretty to boot. She has always been one of the women I am inspired by.
Having said that, it …

Lately I have had the misfortune to witness a most tragic occurrence of a person making a most embarrassing spectacle of himself over his partner. I felt inspired to write about this as I felt grateful that the man in my life has much more confidence and much less arrogance. The incident made its indelible mark on my sub conscious mind simply by leaving me contemptuously amused, ginormously relieved and mostly incredulous.
Let me explain.
The scene was laid as such: this man’s girlfriend engaged in a perfectly socially acceptable and run …

We went out to have Teochew porridge for our couple supper date after the kids are fast asleep just now, and when we came back, this darling cat followed us and was so affectionate and trusting. She curled up against our legs and even followed us into the lift.

As you can see, she is spayed from the tipped ear. Cat Welfare people doing a great job.

Big was afraid that she wouldn’t “know” her way back downstairs but she kept following us into the lift even though we tried to gently …

who doesn’t know how to play.
There you have it.
I don’t know how to play. It’s true. I never had Barbies as a child. I preferred doodling on my activity books. And now as a mother, I don’t know how to and don’t like to play. Kiddy games bore me to death and I always encourage the children to play by themselves, entertain themselves.
Yes, bad mum in a way, but I’d rather they have lots of fun on their own, than that I patronize them by zoning off when “playing” or …

Dear people
I have feedback from some of you that some of the stocks are moving too quickly for you to be able to order. Sorry about that, as I bring in low quantities of each design to ensure exclusivity for the customers.
In order to ensure that you get updates the minute we update the stocks in the boutique, you might want to sign up for the mailing list (located on the lower right bottom)?
Thanks so much for your overwhelming support!

A friend asked me the other day if I would be having a “lifestyle adjustment”. After all, the first few months of a new venture would be a rough ride and she was worried about my financial status quo.
I asked myself the same question before I started too. Sure, I was apprehensive about it not working out. Yes, I do have a few dollars to fall back on during rainy days, but really that’s not the main issue here.
The real deal is, can I relinquish control? As you all might …

Germaine, upon learning that I am running my own business now, has volunteered to “work” for me after school.
How cute is that? Heh.
On a more sombre note, I had not been spending a lot of time with the children and that is going to change very soon. They are having their school hols next week and we will be going to Sentosa and Bollywood Veggies Farm for some major chilling out. We will also be painting in the studio and making customized pencil cases..
Now that the set …
