My goodness, this thingie is so addictive. Since Wes showed it to me on my new phone, I've not stop playing. And now,I'm even playing it online!!! Very simple. U select the same color bubbles and let it burst. The more you gathered at one burst, the more your score. There are various options. Basic is where you burst as many clusters on each game. Continuous, where new bubbles appear when you burst each cluster. The bigger the cluster, the higher your score. This is so pathetic. Here I am always nagging at the boys for being addictive to the computer and here mummy is hooked! No life or what! Got to limit this to only times when I am on the trains or time when I have to wait for whatever and even time in the loo....lolz...

Did you switch off? We did... but ironically we had the air con on since the fan will be blowing at the candle...lolz... But hey we did try. Everything else off. Even though effort is minimal, but I'm sure it helps. It's the spirit. Every drop makes the ocean.

Good movie and good company but was kind of disappointed with the event turnout. What I meant was we could have done this on our own instead of paying a hefty $50 for the movie. We met at Oothique in Boat Quay and there we were served a complimentary martini, given a goody bag containing a stick of mentos, a packet of finger biscuits, a small bottle of Fizz, which is nice and a bunch of vouchers and a Expat LIving magazine. Well thats ok, not great but ok. The martini in Ootique ($10), was pretty diluted. Don't taste no gin in it. Shirin had to ask for a top up too. They have pretty nice stuffs there. Pink wall papers and all, really sweet. But it does get pretty noisy when u have 24 ladies talking at the same time. Kind of like in a food court. Yeah I know we ladies can be noisy but I think what is lacking is some music on the background. Or were we so noisy that we drowned it? From there we were taken in a bus to Vivo for our movie, only to be told that we were at the wrong

The 3 Beauties A real before and after... lol.. when we took a group photo last nite, Dor mentioned that she has one with the 3 of us taken almost 30 years back. Well to be exact, not quite 30, but a close 29. The earlier photo was taken during Dor's 21st birthday. Still remember the exact location, chalet in East Coast Park. The 3 Aunties :p And now, 3 decades later! I think to be able to be in contact after all these years is a real blessing. Especially so when Eve been living in Japan all these years and I had been away in the US for a better part (14 years!) What more, at those earlier years, there were no emails or sms. We kept in touch over snail mails. Amazing isn't it? I think we should make a point to take one every 10 years...

You can be at the same place, same resort and yet because you went with different people, the experience is entirely 2 different stories. One month ago, when I first went to Batam Harris with Dor, it was slow paced and "spa out"; with 4 hours of massages, 2 hours of hair spa and 1 hour of foot reflexology! 3 days 2 nites seemed too long. So we took the shuttle to visit downtown - the "biggest" shopping center in Nagoya. It was interesting seeing how layback the town was. It was like stepping back in history - Singapore back in the 50s.... I was not even born then! And this month, going with my boys and Daisy's, we were so busy with water sports and activities, we did not even leave the facility! In that same time span of 3 days 2 nites, we did water polo, flying fox, parasail, jetski, go kart, bowling, karaoke, archery, soft gun, banana boat and of course 2 hours massage and 2 hours of hair spa! And all this on the first n second day cos on the morning of ch

I know, very busy, but still must blog this la.. Our very own Baby Joey! Welcome to the family Joey! She arrives 090309, a sweet bundle of 2.81 kg./ Very very adorable. This photo was taken on the second day, when we actually got a chance to hold her. We are all promoted. Me and Daisy are now GrandAunts! The 4 boys are now 4 Uncles! And mum of course to Great Grandma. Oh yes, not forgetting the parents and Albert, the Botak Gong gong :P This photo taken on the first day. She is under the warmer and we cannot go near her :(

We've know each other for over 30 years... (yes, for those that can count, I'm openly revealing our age), and yet, this is the first time the 3 of us travelled together. I mean really going on a trip. Guess it's old age...Sigh...Well the good thing at this stage is that we are independent, kids are grown, we can just go as we like. This is Eve, my dear old friend from high school. She married a Japanese (really cute hunk) and had since migrated to Japan. With me away in the US, it is only in recent years that we manage to catch up again here in Singapore. And of course you all know Dor. Our youngest grandma. Here she was probably smsing her maid to make sure her beloved grandson is well taken care of. Here is our aunties, trying to sort out what to put in the safe deposit box before we head out... Mind you, they took a good 10 minutes putting in their passports and cash. Can u believe it, after all the fuss, the safe locked up, ready to go, they realised that their passp
