Weddings are expensive! This i am realising as a continuously look at ideas and purchase stuff – thank goodness getting married is a once in a lifetime event! Cash strapped as i am (yeah, between reno and legal costs, i’m bleeding profusely!) i still went down south to Singapore recently for a short break… well, [...]

A first time for everything…
Posted in Holidays, Life's like that... on March 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
There’s always a first time for everything. And really, this time the feeling plainly sucks! Here i am, all planned and happy to leave the country for a short break when suddenly, all plans turn havoc at the 11th hour. Yeah, those damned street demos which can either turn out bad or at best, not [...]

Every once in awhile, i get into a mode where i do idiotic things. The last time i got into this mode, i’d ended up camping in Belum Temenggur and having baths in ice cold water from the stream nearby. Beautifully blissful. So after a long time (a really really long spell!), i was in that mode [...]

So yes, it’s already the second week of December and i’m still not in Christmas mode … strange but true. This is someone, who in the past years, would have by now, put up the Christmas tree, decorated her home and started full gear with Christmas shopping and cakes. Hyper would be a mild way [...]

See, that’s what happens when you’re happy and alone shopping, nobody to remind if you need the same thing in three different colours and why do you actually even want to buy that t-shirt/blouse/ear ring etc etc etc … Sigh … what can I say … this is one trip I actually rested, felt [...]
Going on a holiday & sharing my seat with a fly …

There i was, all set with my books (“Shopaholic and Baby” – Sophie Kinsella & “The Graveyard Book” – Neil Gaiman) and who did i have to share my seat with? A fly! One always wishes to be seated next to some good looking, oozing with sex appeal, jaw dropping (mine of course) hunk (ok, [...]

You know, when you’re really tired and dying for a break, you start checking our for holidays and then, it hits you …. there’s no such thing as cheap tickets for last minute holiday plans! Ok, I may be wrong … but I scanned the papers and trawled online, and yes, you do see cheap [...]
