SubscribeI returned home pretty late last night, and was in a mad rush to take a shower and pick up my daughter from my parents’ home. I was also hungry, because it was already 9.30 p.m. and my lunch dissolved at about 5 p.m. I bundled up the stairs, removing my clothes as I did, into...
I was talking to my maid last night about my plans to re-model / improve my home. She seemed enthusiastic when I told her I was planning to convert the study room downstairs into a little bedroom for her, complete with a new single bed, mattress and bedding. And yes, a chest of drawers. She...
Last night, I wanted to fix a piece of costume jewellery of mine- it was a lovely beaded necklace, but the clasp had come off and I couldn’t wear it anymore. All it needed was a good pull with a pair of pliers, a nifty squeeze, a hook and voila, it’d be as good as...
…..like there aren’t enough hours in a day? And when you get home after a long day’s work, you have so little time to spend with your loved ones.
…..uncomfortable when a man stares admiringly at you? Never mind that he’s dog-ugly.
…..intimidated by a person who towers over you like St. George’s dragon?
…..fat and bloated, but...
I seriously need to free up some cash. I’m going for a long holiday in LA at the end of this year (hopefully), and at the rate I’m spending these days (not on shopping or clothes or bags- but just spending in general for my household and family), I’m going to be flat-out broke by...
I saw my dream home several months ago, at a development called Desa Park City. Not too far from my current abode, but certainly further. My dream home was priced at a hefty RM1.5 million, and it was a bare unfurnished unit, 3 stories high, intermediate linked unit. Beautiful finishing, though. And I loved the...
For obvious reasons, I stay away from skinny jeans, midriff-baring tops, sleeveless/spaghetti-strap tops, tight clothing, and of course, swimwear. Even way back then when I wasn’t fat, I was still painfully shy of having to don a swimsuit. I’d never been bolder to put on less than a modest 1-piece. Oh, I had a nice...
She couldn’t pay the bills. The house was too big to upkeep without hired help. She defaulted on the hire-purchase payments for the cars. When she went to work everyday at the bank, where she was a cashier, she didn’t know where to look everytime she saw the manager. The bank, they helped her. Great...
The air is still. But it is cool. My skin is cool, and I have never felt much more at peace than I do at this very moment. Breathing in the fresh, crisp mountain air. Solitude. Oneness with nature. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The brook that runs beneath me hides...
We went for a beach holiday 2 weeks ago. We flashed money, we had great food, we spared no expenses. When we came back home, it felt terrible. Coming back to reality. And the reality was- we had overspent. Or perhaps I did. 12 bikinis I had no absolute use for- I kept 6 and...
