Blink..blink..blink.. I have thought time will drag but when you’re busy, time flies really fast. Before I know it, I have a few meager weeks to enjoy whatever is left of my single hood. Some did ask me how I am feeling about my big day, and I answered them as I have always felt, nonchalant.

Yes yes yes… I am feeling not even the slightest feeling of panic etc. What I feel everyday and especially by the end of the day is TIRED. Yup, too tired to even think properly that by the time I have my head on the pillow, I immediately fall asleep.

And yes, ever since my BATA office shoes peeled cracked and peeled off, I have to resort into using a pair of sport shoes to work. That BATA shoes died exactly one month from the date I bought it. I never understand how a pair of RM59.00 shoes managed to crack and peel off right under my own two feet. I doubt, I was that rugged.

Perhaps the next time I buy a pair of shoes, I’d consider either a pair of safety boots or english riding boots. The later having the advantage of not getting my feet wet during a rainy season.

This will be the last time I ever harbour the idea of getting a Lexmark Printer. If the printer even breathes or coughs out an error, I am giving it my shiny boot *glares at the stubborn machine*.

For weeks I have been getting a lot of trouble in finding the ink cartridge for the model Lexmark X9350. Almost all the stores I went to are out of stock. What are the sales men doing, sleeping on their job?

In this frustrating fiasco, I really miss my HP printer and Cannon printer. To get my hands on their ink cartridges is much more easier and can be easily found almost everywhere. Take HP for example, even though their hp ink cartridges is a bit expensive, their product availability is everywhere.

Heck, even my Mamak Stall sells their ink cartridges, without the Mi Goreng of course. Grr.. I am so changing my printer!

*blinks in confusion* Ok..

Pardon my lost in space moment there. I just recently updated my WordPress and the latest version is almost similar to the usual old one that I have been using. My favourite easy navigator bar is missing and has been replaced with something much more..elegant and it looks neater and hmm.. simplified. I hope I did get the right word for that description.

Lately everyone is in the shopping mood as the Mid-Year sale is still on. Almost all the items are slashed at a startling price. I would have joined the fray if I had the funds for it. A few weeks ago, Casio was having a great discount and most of their funky watches were priced below SGD$100.

I am a fan of watches and would love to buy those unique watches. I was entranced by a particular bulova watch but after looking at the price, I made a beeline for the exit. Usually I would just get the cheap ones in Bugis St as they are priced below SGD$10. My mock up leather strap big funky watched I had previously bought was $5.

Previously,  BHG was having a DBS/ POSB debit/credit card member close sale and the atmosphere was very staggering. I was overwhelmed by the surge of crowd that went crazy with their shopping. People were literally ransacking the shelves.

I did take a look at the prices. They were cheaper than usual but after comparing the prices in Malaysia, I’d rather get it in Malaysia than in Singapore. Less bulk for me to carry and lesser impact on my pocket.

It’s Monday once again and the blues are hovering over me. Dark ominous clouds storming over my head while I start my day. *face slams* Although my body feels like lead, heavy, sluggish and overly tired, a day is still a day and work is still work.

Had Durian for breakfast today courtesy of Daddy dearest. We had a small road trip yesterday for a little bit of rest. We finally managed to get our delicious Durian for a very good rate. We don’t usually get those D24 etc but buy them in bulk, with all sort of grades and conditions. It is much more fun to buy them that way than otherwise.

Mom’s birthday is coming up soon in about 11 days from now. I am not sure what to get or do for her. I had people giving me weird ideas and the funniest is giving her a football gifts. I would love to give her that IF she knows even a THING on football.

Since her birthday is days away, I will have a few more days to think of getting her something.

This year is one of the most eventful years I could remember. There are a few weddings which I know of, one of which I had attended last weekend. Do I hear a few babies coming out pretty soon, perhaps next year? *smirks mischievously*

Well for those who are expecting or knows of anyone who are expecting some cute little ones of their own, they may love this site. Personal Creations does a wonderful job on making personalized gifts for baby or those that are expecting little ones.

After looking through their website, they do more than making personalised gifts for babies. They also make gifts meant to stroke the egos of the parents by having some custom made I LOVE MOM/ DAD photo frames. I think they are cute!!

Anyway I have to be going. Things to do… *pouts*

I have been very lazy lately in updating this dusty site. What used to be a place where I dump all my thoughts and cynical ideas, now rests with the dust and huge cobwebs. *dons her apron and takes out her feather duster*

Time to whip those dust bunnies and show them who is boss eh? *gives a loud war cry and chases the dust bunnies away*

I am not sure if I have written about it but I recently got myself a new desktop in lieu with a lightning storm that fried my old PC. Since it was not equipped with a decent video graphic card, I trudge back to my homeland, Sim Lim Square and got the best deal out of them.

GEFORCE GT 220 may be out dated for several years but thats the only one which I am able to afford considering I have a tight budget. It is a 1GB DDR2 HDMI DVI VGA PCI E and it was pegged at $SGD 86.00.

For newbies who are new into graphic cards, do lots of reading and comparing online first before buying anything. Furthermore those sales person behind the counter usually expects a nerd/ geek to be buying all of these items and will never be helpful to counter offer or even help you out in your purchase.

Unfortunately I faced that problem since its been years since I even read a PC magazine. Electronics are constantly updating and revamping and it is VERY much advised to read up before you buy anything.

When you have bought it, read up on how to install it along with the driver. Do not plug your monitor into your new graphic card yet until all the installation is completed. Plug n Play will not recognise it yet.

I installed it with no problems and am happily playing Dragons Age Origin and Awakening with ease. Fantastic graphics that game has *drools*. However if you do installed a new patch for Dragons Age Awakening, do a data backup for your game. I had problems with the patch and its crappy.

Tempting me to rewrite a few things in that patch, although I get a little lazy in reading programming words.

This morning is filled with a rhapsody of cries, screaming and laughter. My neighbours must be thinking that this house is having a family reunion of sorts. That is almost true.

My elder brother and family is here. My youngest brother, who is a brat, is finally back home after two years of MIA. The rhapsody of voices belongs to my elder brother’s little ones and for some who are small, the sure pack up a loud voice.

The youngest is currently sleeping, a heavenly relief as he is down with a slight fever. Toddlers with fever are never a good company. *nods*

Tomorrow the adults here would be out of town and serving the country by voting for our political parties. It is compulsory to vote for all legally adult Singaporean. Thus, tomorrow I have trudge the whole ICQ buildings of JB and Singapore.

I am thinking of making another cake other than the red velvet cake I made the other day. After looking at the delicious looking hand-dipped birthday berries, the temptation is hard to resist. Hmm.. wonder if I have enough ingredients *scurries off to the kitchen*

It is Thursday and the time is moving on so slowly. How time drags on by when the day gets monotonous and boring. Last night it rained, a nice long rain that is a sweet reprieve from the sweltering heat.

Now its cooling, theres a gentle wind and not so hot Mr Sunshine smiling down at us. I think I need to get a new pair of sunglasses. The ones I had are badly scratched and some are broken thanks to some people who uses and just throw it around, thinking the glasses can walk up to their holders.

Grrr..

I do like this particular frame, although if there are cuter and unique frames, I do not mind getting one. The frame can also be used on prescription glasses which is good as some of the frames I know can’t be used for normal glasses.

Like it? So do I!

Weekend was fantastic! I spend a great time with my long lost bestie who had made an effort to drop me a shopping visit even during her packed worked schedule. She was dressed nicely while I was dressed in my most comfortable clothes around. Let’s just say I look exactly how I would should I go to bed, less the flair and colors.

The meet up was filled with good laughters and jokes and other stomach aching events that had everyone thinking we are some asylum runaways. Well I would too since we were making more noise than everyone put together. ;)

Once again nurse/doctors in the hospital have the best cute little scrubs tailored for them. Most of them are cotton scrub and since its cotton, its comfortable even during those resilient hours.

Anyway they even sell medical nursing scrubs for kids, in case they wish to wear something to remind them of their heroic parents who diligently stay at the patients’ side, giving them hope.
