The Modern Day Hazard!

-
I have realised something... I may need some counselling! Apart from shopping the traditional way (actually being present at the shops, which I still do), or bidding through e-bay, I have expand my online shopping to the likes of Catch.com and OZSale, where they actually have special apps for you to browse the ever changing catalogues. These apps are now becoming my bedtime story, a must read before bedtime... Which turns deadly when you have the sudden urge to buy something at 1am! This week, the parcel keeps coming and due to lack of social friends, being a SAHM, I had to WhatsApp the pictures of my purchase to JulieZac and WinZie, just to share my enjoyment! Pathetic, I know...


These are just some of the things I bought this past month, hopefully that's it... Must be pregnancy cravings, but inedible...


Interestingly, even my groceries shopping are done online as both Woolworth's and Coles have this Click&Collect thingy. This isn't a bad thing as I can manage what is really needed and spend on sale items better. It's exciting when the receipt shows - Total = $60; You Save = $60. What an achievement! The only thing is, to collect, we have to drive about 15 min to Wilsonton. And the other thing is, the minimum purchase for C&C is $50, so you can imagine how sometimes you HAVE to buy something you don't really want, just to reach $50. Less of an achievement if this happens =(


Hasben haven't commented negatively on this habit yet... The secret is, sometimes I buy stuff for him, like a Brazil World Cup t-shirt. So as long as he's happy, I am more than happy! Ahaks!

Hello Second Baby!

Kimi will be 3 soon and guess what, he is also a newly-appointed big brother! This time around, Prince Court is not in the picture - being full-time students, we can only afford to attend Toowoomba Base Hospital, a government hospital so this will be a whole new experience for me, not to mention being in a whole different country! A little park in front of the hospital: I had my monthly checkup at USQ clinic with Dr. Kay Brumpton, who is amazing by the way. And towards my second trimester, I had monthly visits to the hospital to see the midwives. This is the waiting area at the Antenatal Clinic: And that's Kimi climbing over the door of the play gym. Adventurous...! Being Asian, and smallish (even for an asian), my baby was measuring a bit small than the average Aussie. The doctor was a bit concerned and had me do 3 ultrasounds. Back in Malaysia, ultrasounds were performed during every single monthly check-up, but here, they feel that 1 is good enough, unless

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne Weekend Getaway! Date: 13 May 2011 It is not often you hear someone say, "I'm going to Australia just for the weekend". However, it actually happened to me, not intentionally, but accidentally... I booked my flight ticket (in August 2010 for the lowest fare possible!!) without double checking and ended up with only 2 full days to spend in Melbourne. To make the best of it, I pre-booked full day tours for both days... which left out any opportunity for Melbourne city sight-seeing - how sad! From LCCT, KLIA to Melbourne Airport, it took about 8 hours flight - which I can't sleep for most part of it!! - and the time difference is plus 2 hours from Malaysia. Date: 14 May 2011 Upon arrival...   Hi Mr Sean/Chin! We were greated by Ms Candy who showed us to our maxi taxi. The driver was Mr Sean/Chin (didn't quite get his name) who was from Cancun, China. He was friendly and energetic. He dropped us of at Punthill - The Stanton at St Kild
