Another Friday night in an apartment so quiet that I can hear a pin drop. Was so loathe to end the conversation with Zibin earlier (but the man wanted to take a nap…at 11a.m.!!!) What to do…gotta let a man sleep, no? Been reading ‘Type-Talk’ by Otto Kroeger and Janet M. Thuesen. Back in my […]

5 Love Languages Quiz
Well, well, what do you know… years after first reading Gary Chapman’s book (and enthusiastically giving it as gifts to my friends who get engaged), I do an ‘online quiz’ version. And the result is different from my own assessment after reading the book. But my bias towards the the top 3 love languages remain […]

Both Zibin and I have very rebellious histories as children. We’re both the type that would specifically do the opposite of what we were asked to do by our parents. (annoying little buggers we must have been) So today when I was on Skype with Zibin, I was telling him how our kids are probably […]
The Crown Jewel of Arbor Room
Alright, this may be an exaggeration. But the APC (avocado pita club) is getting more precious to me as the day Arbor Room closes draws nearer and nearer. I don’t even usually eat it that often. I better slow down before I get sick of it…DMR you know…:P (Click on photo for a different capture […]
Puerto Vallarta Update
When I blogged about my dilemma on Saturday, I didn’t expect that it would receive so many responses. Am truly touched and grateful for all the words of encouragement I’ve received. Thank you! :) Latest update – I am going to Puerto Vallarta! In fact, I spent an hour at TravelCuts today purchasing my air […]
Deferring Responsibility
What is it they say? Be careful when you point a finger at somebody else because three other fingers are pointing back at you? I just realized how it applies to me. A few days ago I was frustrated when I felt some friends deferred the responsibility of making a choice that should be theirs […]
Measure In Love
Read part of these lyrics on Sherry’s blog and it jogged my memory of the time I heard this song on the TV. Had wanted to look up the lyrics then, but forgot to do so. Hope you find something in it too that rings true… Here’s Seasons of Love from the musical Rent. Five […]
Duh
Every now and then, some little thing occurs that makes me ‘deflate’ at how clueless (euphemism for dumb) I can be. I’ve been using itunes for months now…and I only just discovered that I could mass-edit the ID tags. I wish I didn’t have to remember all the time I had spent on updating the […]
Bake Day
After tasting Edmund’s delicious cream puffs last week, I decided I should learn to do it (custard/cream puffs happen to be one of Zibin’s favourite snacks). Edmund came over today and we made chocolate-lavender cream puffs and custard puffs. It was surprisingly QED (quite easily done). Have decided to try and bake more while I’m […]
