Kids : Mommy, how come we are not celebrating your birthday?
Me : (Couldn’t answer as wasn’t sure if hubby was buying me a cake or not)

Ian : I told daddy to buy you present already. It’s a surprise from me.

Mom and I stepped into an organic store about two weeks ago. While picking up some organic food, I came across Dr Ros’s Garbage Enzyme DIY.

Apparently, it is being used to mop floor, for dish wash and even as a shampoo.
I was doubtful as first, because one of the ingredients used is brown sugar. My [...]

Today is the first day since the arrival of our maid that I don’t have to think about job delegation for her. I don’t have to think what to tell my maid to do. I don’t have to spot check which area she has not done as she is so free! Free as in from [...]

The renovation is finally over except that the curtain will be arriving next week. Other that day, I hope today will be the last day of people, anyone drilling in our house. I am so sick of it. Every time it happened inside the house, I would be having a wet cloth on my hand [...]

Renovation is still going on, my bathroom is done except for the tempered glass to be installed. Well, at least there aren’t workers going up and down and leaving dirty foot prints on my stairs and bedroom floor. We officially shifted back to our bedroom last night after enduring mattress and back ache in Ian’s [...]
