Whether it is the new 21 or not, here’s to a brand new sparkling 31 and more good stuff ahead for me.
No idea what’s in store for me - it’s all a hush hush surprise, but I know I will love it just the same.
Time to review the list of goals! And for starters, I find this list quite cute. And yes, I have conquered all them skills, after all I am 31.
Cheers.

A reader commented in my previous post -
How come you are not posting about your wonderful Mr Big anymore? I see you have gone political on your readers and I can’t say I like it. What are you trying to prove by suddenly changing your blogging style? Fame? Or to prove you are not a bimbo?
I am disappointed at this sudden 360 degree change of direction where you almost never talk about your own life, kids, Big anymore. Or is there something to hide?
Hope to see you reverting back to …

A good pondering on the perennial question.
Do your art. But don’t wreck your art if it doesn’t lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.
(And the twist, because there is always a twist, is that as soon as you focus on your art and leave the money behind, you may just discover that this focus turns out to be the secret of actually breaking through and making money.)
How true.
Lately I’ve been pondering quite a lot about this.
How many actually love what they do?
How many actually do what …

Knowing how senile I am, I am starting a Friday weekly summary to sum up the events of the week - things that make me happy and not so happy.
Happys
1. Relaxation of mind and body
I’ve been swimming about twice a week - leisurely laps to relax the mind and body.
See under the bridge? The narrow “tunnel” reminds me of the first scene from the game Tomb Raider where Lara Croft has to fight a shark underwater to get onshore. Over imaginative mind alert!
It helps that our pool …

I wasted some twenty minutes of my life yesterday. I had made the wrong decision of dropping by a toxic “friend’s” blog, which I had not done so for the longest time, reason being that the said blog is mostly updated with constant meaningless whining and negativity. There is a certain limit to the amount of negative energy one can stomach.
To my surprise, her recent few posts are positive to say the least. But keeping in line with her character, the “positivity” is meant to put others down.
By insisting …

I love how she is affectionate and will give me random frequent kisses and hugs.
I love how she will share things with her sister without being told to.
I love how she is not grouchy or cranky, and is still the sweet little girl that she is - even when she is not well.
I love how she snuggles up to me like a baby koala just because she likes the feel and smell of her mummy.
I love how she exclaims, “Mummy you are so pretty!” LOL

Karen had recently been down to Singapore and she ran a very successful charity event raising funds for Singapore Red Cross. As a full time stay home mum, she managed to garner tremendous support in sponsorship, publicity, media coverage, and most importantly, donations to Singapore Red Cross. I have nothing but utmost respect and admiration for this lady. Of course, being the utmost shallow person that I am, it helps that she is very gorgeous.
And thus, I have to say that I am very VERY sorry that I …

The last week had been crazy. In addition to our daily usual schedule of work and kids, Big had been additionally loaded with a time sensitive project which means - I had to unpack most of the remaining boxes. He still refuses to let me carry any heavy stuff though, and tries to help whenever he can. We also had to coordinate the minor renovation and subsequent rental of the old house. Am going to sell the old house next year anyway, otherwise I will not rent out. I cannot …

Thought of the Day: “Always blame yourself when things go wrong and examine if there is something to be learnt”
The supplier is lousy. Should you have done your research and asked around for feedback before using him? And if you had, and everyone else thinks he is good, why was he negative for you? Could it be YOU then?
It is easy to be pointing fingers, blaming the sky, the forces, bad luck, whatever when really, the person who should be in control of the situation should be ONESELF. If something …
