Ten glorious days of peace!
The Company held up great without this girl; big kudos to Brunei Princess who had to step in to deal with clients and projects. The Boy managed to NOT open his lappy which he lugged along like a security blanket and only fielded like three work calls all trip choosing to [...]

Its been a crazy day and the people this girl has had to meet with today really tested her patience. Like REALLY. R.E.A.L.L.Y. tested her patience. Even The Boy who’s got infinitely more patience than she does, especially lately with her pregnant brain and moods, found himself so annoyed his ears began to heat up. [...]

There’s been a slew of weddings in the last few months. We’ve made it for some, some we had to pass. Some we enjoyed, some were worse than my wisdom tooth extraction. Some had funny videos, some had the usual wedding montages that made this girl wonder if the wedding video editing firms have some [...]
Not at ground zero this year
Posted in just me, life learnings, life rules, travel, tagged 911, ground zero, new york on September 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Two years ago this day, this girl stood at ground zero. She watched protesters set against the backdrop of families and friends who came to remember loved ones they lost when the twin towers and the Pentagon was hit in the world’s most public and daring act or terrorism.
Then 911 happened, this girl was in [...]
birthday treats

This girl’s 29th birthday passed queitly and with little fanfare- time with family and take away crab noodles from the famous Melben Crab place and loads of laugh. Over the week prior and the week after, this girl cut 5 separate cakes with different groups of friends and ate far too much.
And as she celebrates [...]

Its been another tiring week- busy with clients and projects and little time for much personal rest. At least this girl managed some stolen time away with Brunei Princess and Warrior Princess (oh my goodness, she just realized there’s a lot of princess-ness happening) where they mixed work and some girl time out at a [...]
sheer fragrance

When this girl was in Hong Kong last year, she picked up a new fragrance by Stella McCartney called Sheer. In a fit of girliness, this girl fell in love with the beautifully designed pink floral bottle and its mild fleur fragrance.
One reviewer writes of the scent:
In 2003, the fashion designer Stella McCartney launched her [...]
bewitched
Posted in Life in the Town House, just me, new things, tagged betwiched, tv, witches on July 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This girl and The Princess have always loved the old 1960s show Bewitched starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York as the witch-turned-housewife Samantha and her advertising exec Darrin Stephens.
The show follows their hilarious exploits as Samantha- at her husband’s insistence- tries to to give up- valiantly- her witching ways and live as mortals do. Her [...]
the blasted flu
Posted in Life in the Town House, just me, the boy on July 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The H1N1 mayhem has ripped through the world. Like- and unlike- the SARS pandamic that gripped the world years ago, this flu strain seems tough to get a handle on with though with mounting casuality rates and (gratefully) far less fatalities. People don’t travel as much, people are oddly suspicious and overly cautious.
Now, this girl [...]
being a cow

This girl and The Boy were unfortunate guests at a friends wedding recently where they literraly bit their lip for most part of the wedding.
It was a gaudy wedding with a clash of off-bridal colours- seriously, unless its on a pair of fraternal twins, its never really ok to have baby pink and baby blue [...]
maintenance contract

The things with owning your own company is that the buck stops at your feet. You can’t pass it on to anyone else, neither can you pretend its not there.
Don’t get her wrong, this girl loves the idea that she has her own joint and really, this not having a boss to answer to is [...]
love languages and needs

A friend recently posted something she read from a couple-couple book called His needs, Her needs; that aspires to help couples build an affair-proof marriage. According to the writer, one Dr. Haley, couples need to learn to understand each other’s needs. One review site writes:
“This book is simply amazing. The premise of the book is [...]
tv junkie
Posted in just me, tagged bones, criminal minds, favourites, Jon & Kate plus 8, lie to me, ncis, tv on May 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This girl is a TV junkie; insofar that while she doesn’t clock that much tv air time, she does tend to follow some series rather religiously.
1. Bones
Bones is a essentially a crime fighting show featuring a slightly social inept but highly brilliant forensic anthropologist called Temperance Brennan and her desert Storm veteran, decorated FBI agent [...]
hell truly hath no fury

This girl (and The Boy) spent last Saturday attending the extraordinary AWARE meeting with some two thousand other women and men. As most from the island nation will know, the saga has been brewing for over a month (you can read about it here) and things finally came to a head in a requisitioned EGM [...]
thinking about a legacy
Posted in emo-ments, just me, life learnings on April 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Many years ago The Princess and this girl watched an episode of Oprah that featured a frail young boy with the biggest heart one could imagine called Mattie Stepanek. He suffered from Dysautonomic Mitochondrial Myopathy which kept him in a wheelchair and reliant on machines that breathed for him. He was already living on borrowed time and maybe it [...]
