So despite the initial hiccup of my CT scan appointment and the feeling of needing to hit my doctor with an angle iron, the CT scan itself went smoothly without any hitches last Thursday, 29th March 2012. I arrived on time and it was nice to see the nurse remembered me from the day before. She greeted me, went through the same checklist that I had the day before and proceeded to prepare me the procedure. I was given four glasses of plain water to drink within a hour. They also put in an IV...

My mom often wonder how I can just sleep with one pillow. Yeap I sleep with only one pillow and it goes under my head. I don’t need a bolster and I don’t need a side pillow. I use them if they are around but I don’t need them to be comfy. I can just tuck my legs in a fetal position and doze off. However I do need a blanket. It is an absolute must if the the weather is cold but even if the weather is hot, I still need my blanket to sleep under. I reckon it just makes me feel “tucked in”.. lol!...

Each morning these days, I start my day by drinking a glass of plain water followed by my vitamin C drink which literally makes me full and no place in my tummy for another cup of coffee. I didn’t feel like I needed coffee so I went by two days in a row without a drop of coffee in my body. Then on day three I started developing headaches and noticed that I became easily sleepy. I decided to make a cup of coffee and you know what, my headache disappeared and my sleepiness gone. OMG I just...

All of us have dreams of owning our own house. A house that is spacious, beautiful and most importantly comfortable. However for some of us, that dream is just so far away that we can’t help but wished there was an faster way to achieve that goal. Well, I just found out that HGTV is giving away one beautiful, custom-built “green” home located just outside Atlanta in Serenbe for their fifth annual HGTV Green Home Giveaway®. HGTV Green Home 2012 Environmentally Friendly Southern Home is now up...

I initially planned to leave yesterday for Singapore but since I was not feeling too great, I postponed my trip to Sunday instead. To my horror on checking seats for coaches yesterday, I found that there was no more seats for the early coaches (I like to travel in the morning that way I arrive early into Singapore too). After further checking, I found that there was some seats available but it was for the night coach and I hate travelling at night. I panicked for sure and started to check for...

Each time I go back to Singapore and make full use of my laptop, Miss Fly, she always dies on me after about 4hours use. I am not sure if it’s because her time is nearly up or if it’s just the the laptop cooler that I’m using that is not working. She doesn’t behave like that when I’m using her at home in KL. Whatever it is, I am on the lookout for best buy laptops. I’ve been actively looking at the laptop specs and have narrow down to two that I really like. Now I just need to run them past...

On my visit to the doctor on Monday, I was supposed to get a date for my surgery but instead the surgeon explained to me that seeing how they are still not sure about the status of my “solid mass” they insisted that I do for a CT scan to rule out ovarian malignancy before proceeding to remove my cyst. I was scheduled to go for CT scan this morning at 9.15am. I fasted as instructed since 5.15am and was all ready for my first ever CT scan. Nervous? Of course.. since this was my first time and...

I love gadgets, from pc to laptop to handphones, I love it all. Anyway, though I use my handphone for a lot of my work, I also use it for play and currently I am busy playing Draw Something with bunch of friends from facebook. Now mind you I am no brilliant doodler but that is what makes the game so much fun. lol! So download the game, Draw Something hook up with me ok Oh since I am on the topic of phones, here’s a quick and simple quiz I took. Just love my results You Are a Blue Cell Phone...

I am not sure what’s going with my condo area but ever since Thursday, water pressure have been really low with water trickling down instead of gushing out. Then I thought they were doing something to rectify the matter when they shut off water supply on Friday. Obviously I was wrong because when the water came back on at 7pm, it was the same situation. I was so mad last night that I was banging stuff, cursing at everything and just ranting away. Azwaj knew to just stay out of the way. He...

On my last post I wrote that I was going back to Singapore on Monday.. well it’s Thursday today and I’m already back home in KL. In fact I was home yesterday but since there were too many things to do, I thought I’d update my blog today. Anyway, I do have to go back to Singapore early next Monday morning to make my doctor’s appointment at 4pm on the same day. Gosh, if this were flights to south africa instead of coach rides to Singapore, can you imagine the frequent flyer miles I’ll be raking...

Today marks 12th years marriage to the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, my darling Azwaj. It has been a journey full of ups and down. It has been a journey of happiness and sadness, of laughter and tears. It has been a journey full of health and sickness… but through it all, one thing remain constant and that is our love. This song reminds me of our love. Groovy and cool on so many levels. Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave ONLY the...

Now that I’ve officially stuffed myself with two kinds of cheesecake from Secret Recipe tonight (it’s my birthday, I’m allowed to splurged.. hahah), it’s time to lay low on the cheese this month. After all I did have a Blueberry Cheese Tartlet field day earlier this month from my baking class in Singapore.. yumss.. I’m thinking of ways to lose weight safely now especially since there might a period of inactivity for me when I go under the knife again in the next month or so. Yeap.. you heard...

At this moment, it is unsure how long I will be in Singapore this time around. If I can get all my work done by Thursday then I can leave for home on Friday but if that is not possible, I think I would have to spend the weekend there as well. Looking forward to a tartlet class I hate travelling over the weekend as the number of cars going into Malaysia, even though I will be on the second link, is horrendous over the weekend. It’s as if, all Singaporean escape to Malaysia during that time...

Holiday Deals are popping up everywhere, in my email, twitter stream and even my physical mailbox. It’s like the whole world is telling us to go for a vacation (lol). From overseas trip to local trip, all the locations and prices are definitely tempting and making me heady with all the choices. I also just found that the vacation spot of my dream is also having a special promotion next month! Unfortunately, although we did plan a trip for March since it coincide with my birthday and our...
