What i did on my annual leaves

Finally i have the mood to update on what I’ve done on my 2 annual leaves. Colleagues were teasing me about taking nice breaks during the last part of the semester.
I do wish i could take relaxing breaks, but i am not actually relaxing.
The first leave was taken to do a Basic Gynae Health […]

Household Chores

This morning, our common toilet’s heater starts leaking water when hubby tried to take a bath. He started to panic and wanted to call his dad to come down and repair. Looks like he is one of those who just dun feel comfortable handling appliances on his own. Thought all guys are supposedly good at […]

New DVD Player

Remember our old DVD player story? After 2 months of troubleshooting, the contractor finally got back to us with the problem. This shows how ‘efficient’ they are.
The problem: The PCB board is spoilt beyond repair. PCB is also known as Printed Circuit Board. Seriously speaking, i find that electronic appliances manufactured in the recent […]

Father’s day early celebration

We celebrated father’s day today.
I came to know about the existence of ‘Father’s day‘ some years back. All along, i thought there’s only such an occasion called ‘Mother’s Day’. My father was ‘officially’ recognized for his hard work on such a formal occasion only in the recent years. Not because he is not important, but […]

Qian Xi restaurant

Last night, hubby and I went for food tasting at Qian Xi restaurant@Farrer Park. The restaurant is situated in a nice environment. At least it looks grand from the outside. How time flies, my bro-in-law is getting married at the end of this year. I vividly remembered about my own wedding banquet 2 years back, […]

Today we are going to bring […]

Ants Vs Me

A new clean home is usually free of pests like ants and cockroaches. It was probably due to the persistent paint and cement smell which was more endurable by humans.
But after 2 years of occupying this house of mine, i begun to see new unwanted visitors. The cockroaches remain shy from entering but the ants […]

Time to save electricity and water bill

The cost of electricity is on the rise again. This time, they are going to rise it up to 5%! Crap! If only my salary increases at the same rate. *rolleyes*
This makes me even more determined to continue to save and conserve energy in my home.
Some habits i’ve developed over the years on saving […]

Day 8/9 - Hezhou->Guangzhou->Singapore

My last post for the trip. You must be tired reading my travel entries by now, hahaa, but no choice. If i did not make an effort to blog them down now, i would forget more than 80% of the stuffs. This is the problem i faced in my past trips. I took too […]

Day 7 - Guilin->Yinzi Cave->YangShuo->Xijie

This morning, our next destination was the Yinzi Cave. The rain from the previous night made the lake looked foggy. The pictures did not turn up quite well. But it sure feels like one is traveling through the celestial court short of fairies flying around.
A nice fishermen came on board our ferry on […]
