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 [...]

Melbourne 2009: Dracula’s and pregnancy eating
Posted in pregnancy, travel on November 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Given they had no real plans in Melbourne they started each day, lazily with a sleep in then a trudge for food. Usually, that meant simply walking around till they felt hungry or something caught their fancy. It was a lovely way to live, really.
As this girl trudges along her getting more pregnant, she’s begun [...]
Melbourne 2009: where did the bump come from!?
Posted in funnies, pregnancy, travel on November 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This Girl is a little over five months pregnant and she’s had what The Mother terms a “neat” pregnancy. From the back, she pretty much looks the same, her arms, face, legs and general overall body size has remained the same. Ok, ok, the boobs are fuller but no one complains about that, really. But [...]

People have asked This Girl and The Boy if they know if they are expecting a girl or a boy. And when they say they have no idea and wish to be surprised at the end of the pregnancy journey people think they’re nuts.
But seriously, there’s a certain fun-ness with not knowing. And, truth is, [...]

This boy and This girl finally squeezed out a a week to head down under for a much delayed, much needed break.

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. [...]
friends from the other land

This girl caught up with some friends visiting from The Other Land.
Aunty Am runs the orphanage that this girl has been working with since she’s 16; this was the place that changed her life, and the girl (then two, now 14) that changed this girl’s soul. She gave this girl updates on all the kids [...]
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 [...]
post christmas frenzy

It never fails to baffle this girl to ponder how it is that the year is almost at its end. Didn’t it just start a while ago? Sure seems that way from where she is standing.
Christmas came and went amidst the mad rush to sort the office out (for 12 people no less) and scrambling [...]
sunk her teeth in

This girl has been battling herself over what she would like to do workwise. She’s got a few options sitting pretty on her plate waiting for her to either: start on it (these are new business projects), or agree to take it up (these are mainly consulting work). Each has their own merits, their own [...]
three new stuff everyone should own
Posted in family, new things, the boy, the sock shop, travel on October 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Over the last six months, this girl has come across a whole bunch of stuff that she is so deeply in love with and have decided that- on some level- she cannot live without them.
1. Origins.
This girl has notoriously sensitive skin and while she’s plugged for Bio-Essence before, she’s now also adds Origins to [...]
unpacked and in a mess

And so, at about 2am today, The Boy and this girl arrived back from their work stint in Hong Kong and China.
The food was great and the weather disappointingly muggy. They walked alot- particularly at the sourcing fairs and at the exhibitions- and saw loads of really cool stuff. They saw robotic arms, cloning facilities, [...]
by the fireplace

It was a blessedly good flight back to Singapore, seeing how this girl found herself sprawling solo on a three seater. She spent the entire flight leaning on the window, legs outstretched in the blissful company of her ipod and the two books she finished en route. Food was pleasant, flight was uneventful and her [...]
not rising in the land

Its this girl’s third day in Japan and she sits in the hotel business center in Osaka. The weather is miserable with chilly, windy winds and jet lag seems to have descended upon this girl culminating in a headache that saw her missing dinner last night.
She has spent her free time keeping a close [...]
standing still

There is a song that this girl loves to sing to herself about learning to standstill and be quiet until the soft prompting of God moves her along. It was shared with her at a poignant place in her life by and old friend and she still listens to it ever so often, particularly when [...]
