Record High

This year must be a record high in travelling for RH & me. I have been on the plane no less than 18 times this year, visiting 4 countries.

Its almost 2 pm and I am still waiting for RH to call me so that we can have lunch together. He had his lunch at 5:30 pm yesterday! Whatever made me agree to have lunch with him?

Bought lights for my balcony and additional downlights. Gotta get my contractor to come and install them

Cute Doggie Cookies

It was a baking fiesta on Saturday! Made 3 types of cookies: Doggie Malted Cookies, Cornflake Cookies and Koko Crunch Cookies. All cookies were created with recipes found online. The doggie cookie was more "look" than taste. It looked so adorable but tasted horrible of course. The reason though might be because I do not have Horlicks Powder so I used regular milk powder.

Notice that eyes are not all in same direction.

Experimented with bunnies too. Hahaha!


No pictures for the cornflake and koko crunch cookies, had to leave them baking in the oven while I pick up RH. Yes, RH is here for a week. Dat sentence actually sounds kinda weird describing someone who lives here. Well, RH was sent to Sydney, Australia for 2 1/2 weeks assignment which turned out to be 3 months so we both really cherish the time that he is back in Singapore. Pictures of Sydney below!!!

Finally completed the scrapbook LO that I have been working on for ages. Must be influenced by my friend, JT. She is so into scrapbooking all of a sudden that its scary. I think she spend like a hundred dollars a month on her new hobby! Conversations with her now almost always includes scrapbooking and it really motivates me to start making my own LO.

Took stock of all my SB stuff and discovered that I really purchase tons of stuff from US. Well, SB stuff are much cheaper in US so I am using dat excuse as consolation. Hee hee!

Achooooooo!

Aaaachoooo, forgive me while I wipe away the dust lying on top of my laptop. Its been awhile since I blogged. I have been travelling every two weeks. Feel so guilty leaving my job all the time. I am not a Tai Tai yet, mind you but I can totally get use to this lifestyle.

I just got back from Sydney, Australia. Wonderful country, really. People are helpful, weather's nice, you always find toilet paper in public toilets and people get off work at 5:30 pm.......hehehehe!

Two things I need to complain about though:
  1. High standard of Living. Everything is so expensive in Sydney. Imagine a Nasi Lemak for AUD$7.50 (SGD$9), triple of what Nasi Lemak cost over here.
  2. The Flies, of course. They are huge, they are everywhere and worse of all, they stick to you.

Hope to put up pictures soon. My pictures are kinda all over the place cos some of them are taken with RH's pics. BTW, he will be there till Feb so meantime, I am a TSW (Temporary Single Woman).

Cut my hair on Tuesday. Shunji Matsuo. Heard really rave reviews from his customers. I thought my hairstyle was rather plain but when I went to Bible Study later that night, my Bible Study mates were complimenting on my hairstyle. I guess the shorter hair does make me look younger. Oh well, no time for regrets, you know how long it takes for me to grow my hair.

For years, I only trimmed my hair twice a year and 1 inch each time. That is 2 inches per year and it took me 3 years to have hair that touches my chest. It grew so slowly that I tought I would never have long hair so I am quite scared when people tell me to cut my hair short.

Work Again!

Back from Korea! It was one whole week of bliss......no work and all I had to do everyday was have fun. Yep, we took Chan Brothers tour. It was pretty comprehensive in my opinion. We went to Yongjin, Jeju, Daegu, Jeonju, Cheonju and of course Seoul. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the Maple leaves (which we were really looking forward to). It was a dry Autumn this year and the Maple leaves withered before even turning red. How sad is that! Pictures below.
