did we ever lived in caves?

what on earth are electric cigarettes?

what is Ellen DeGeneres doing as an American Idol judge? She’s not a singer; neither is she a recording artiste. I have no freaking idea what she’s doing in the judges seat. Surely there are plenty more qualified judges in place of Paula. But, no…it’s got to be Ellen.

Could it be that she’s cheaper (in salary terms) compared to the others? hmmm…one wonders isn’t it?

CNY has not even begun yet and here I am, talking about what may come next.

We will be alot busier after it. Not that we won’t be any busier before/during but just that, our busi-ness will continue post-festival.

Hows that? Well, we are planning for a minor renovation to our house. It’s so minor it is practically negligible. We plan to extend our mini backyard by putting up an awning outwards just below the roof. This is so we can do the cooking outside rather than inside. It takes too much hard work to cook our meals inside the house.

When we bought the house, we didn’t have kids yet. So cooking was the bare minimum. I mean, when you’re talking about 2 full grown adults, anything goes. But now, with the kids, no such luxury and I find myself cooking almost everyday. Apart from the floors getting oil and stuff, the whole house smells.

Also, we want to move the girls to their own room. It’s a good thing I have 2 girls because I only have one room upstairs and not enough space. We’ll see how well the girls will fare once this exercise is over. I hope I won’t see the kind of look that my insurance agent gave me when I told him that I purchased my life insurance from Wholesale Insurance!! :-S

Oh, can you tell, I am so excited for the CNY. I always get the shivers in any case. Of course, the first and foremost thing that matters to me will be the food of course. Without a doubt that ranks top of the list.

It’s also the time where we catch up with ol’ pals. You know, with the busy world that we’re all caught in, there’s hardly enough time to see each other. What with the kids and our daily activities. On most days, you just want to curl up in bed and do nothing but unfortunately, in reality, we just can’t.

So, meeting-up during the new year is just the perfect time where we get to goof around and basically make fun of each other. Tell each other our ambition, our hopes for the year and how we prepare ourselves for economy situation…things like that. I still remember how a friend joked how it would be great to just have a shop that sell books. We all agreed. Hmm..she should start a Borders or something..:-)

I had the most awesome 10 days in Swiss. Never mind we made a boo-boo on getting traveling tickets and for the 1st 2 days that I was there, I had to walk very very far just to get to the train station and only to find that we didn’t have to because there’s a bus stop just outside of our apartment. Never mind that we paid for some of the attractions which again, we didn’t have to if we checked properly. Not sure why, we just assumed and plus, no one told us. I mean, usually, if anyone you know were traveling to Switzerland, it’s usually on a packed bus-load. Very rarely do you hear of anyone doing their own independent visits.

Also, another reason why we just didn’t do much research was because we had a very short time for traveling and in the midst of getting the girls taken care of before I left, doing research was the last thing on our minds. Besides, it was only a 10 day visit for me and a 2 week work stay for Gnat. It wasn’t as if we were in uni or anything where if we were, kids and lack of time didn’t exist. I honestly envy university students. Gnat has been one while I never experienced it because I studied externally back home. Almost like an online university but the difference is, I had friends, group studies and attended classes. I think I’d be really lonely without anyone.

So, what I’ve learned is, check the tourism information before leaving; preferably months ahead. I didn’t have the luxury to cos it was a last minute decision of me going.

A lesson learnt definitely and if you ask me, I still have some unfinished business with the Swiss Miss

Apparently, there are ways to keep yourself immortal and they are :

1. Stay away from cigarettes.

2. Keep a slender physique.

3. Get some exercise.

4. Eat a healthy diet and keep your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar in check.

Notice there’s no mention of consuming pills that you find on www.bestmultivitamins.org?

Well, most will agree with you that popping pills isn’t really the way to go. If you want to have a healthy lifestyle you gotta keep your fit the conventional way. No need for artificial booster, no need for additional mess in your body. Just some ol’ fashion fitness regime that’s proven to work for many many years.

So, what are you waiting for – get crackin’!!

I was hoping that Henin’ll get knocked out this evening and be gone forever. But, no she had to hit incredible winners; no thanks to pretty faced Dementieva. She was on a roll but let victory slipped through her sweaty fingers – twice!!!

I am dumbfounded. As baffling as writing testosterone booster reviews.

But, I should not worry too much; afterall, this is only the 2nd round and there are plenty of names out there who can perform the killer job. So, just I have to be patient time and time again with my kids, I will practice my patience with this one.

Really really R.E.A.L.L.Y disappointing!! :-S
