Guitar

shoppingmum — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:09:17 +0000

I don’t know how to play the guitar, even if I’d tried a long time ago. The strings hurt my fingers and I gave up! That’s why I have never used any guitar strap locks, nor anything which is related to guitars.

I wish that my kids can pick up more musical instrument when they are ready. Right now, only my boy is learning the piano while my gal hasn’t picked up anything yet.

Hopefully, she will be ready in another year.

No Maid

shoppingmum — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:51:16 +0000

I used to love making art and crafts when I was young, but I don’t do much after I’ve had kids. I should be engaging them into these fun activities, cutting papers, making stuffs with mcgill punches and enhancing their creativity, but then again, I’m also tied up with chores!

I feel that I’m not enjoying quality time at home since I don’t have a maid.

Flood again? No?

shoppingmum — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:43:32 +0000

Our condo is not totally ready yet but we are glad that we no longer stayed in our old flooded house. Staying in a flood prone area doesn’t sound like a good idea to me, especially if I doubt about the efficiency of Thailand’s flood proof and irrigation plans. Not only that flood insurance is expensive now, it’s so insecure for the fear of going through major flood again!

Maybe we should also consider mobile homes with motorhome insurance. All of us can just go elsewhere and stay on the road if needed. LOL!

Year 2012

shoppingmum — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:10:19 +0000

I’m not into gadgets anymore, so I can’t be bothered to find out more about kindle vs ipad. But this year, I hope that I can buy a new laptop, on company’s expenses.

I’ve been working hard so I totally deserve it! I’m going to spend more time at work, trying to work on the biz so that we can achieve a few goals in year 2012. It’s not going to be easy, but hey, life is full of challenges!

Let’s get back to work!

No Beach Holiday

shoppingmum — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:43:34 +0000

The weather is great now in Bangkok, and northern Thailand is experiencing colder weather. For previous years, we would visit some beach resorts but this year we will only visit Chiangmai as usual. No more budget for fancy year end vacation! Ouch…

But southern Thailand is have heavy storms for the past few weeks now, so it might not be a good idea to go surfing or diving. Nonetheless, I hope that we can plan for a trip next year and bring the kids for snorkeling again. None of us can dive but we don’t mind wearing wetsuits just for fun swimming in the sea. Actually, it’s more advisable to put on wetsuit as swimming towards a school of tiny jellyfishes can be rather painful!

School holidays are shorter next year but we shall see. It won’t be hard to just spend a couple of days lazing off the beaches in Phuket and jump in the Andaman sea with Body Glove wetsuit on.

iPhone freak

shoppingmum — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 04:57:37 +0000

I’m stuck to my iPhone most of the time of the day. Without it, I’ll so uneasy. It’s from the phone that I get updates about the flood situation and my friends’ lives. Unless I’m on holiday, I will glue close to my phone if possible! That’s why I need some portable phone batteries but too bad iPhone doesn’t have one.

Should I get iPhone 4S? It’s a pretty gadget! Better still, can someone get me one!

overloaded

shoppingmum — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 06:31:31 +0000

I’m worried about a lot of things lately. Work, biz, cash flow, renovation, kids and etc. My brain is bursting with overloading of worries but I am still alright without the need to fill hospital cart with anti depressing pills. Life must go on no matter what.

But on the bright side, I’m getting more hands on with my biz as my admin is MIA and no news of coming back to work. I will only hire one once we can go back to the office. For the time being, I shall take over the job. I can manage this!

Loss

shoppingmum — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 06:24:59 +0000

We went back to our flooded house yesterday and everything is in a mess now. The dvd recorder, TV, and other electrical appliances are all spoiled. Mold has grown all over the house. So you can imagine how badly it smells.

I can’t wait to go back to do some major cleaning up. I must try to save as many things as possible before it’s all too late.

November

shoppingmum — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:46:09 +0000

It’s my birthday and anniversary this month but will hubby check out those links about anniversary gifts for her? I doubt so. He never pays any attention to special days, let alone celebrating it.

Furthermore, the flood has caused us a deal of $$$ and our lives have not gone back to normal yet. With our condo renovation on going, I doubt that he will even think about special days this month.

Sigh…

Normal?

shoppingmum — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:09:44 +0000

I’ve almost forgotten how my normal life used to be, everything is in such a mess after the flood took over our house and my office. I can’t imagine the loss which had occurred to me, or I’m just too coward to calculate the loss now. How about those Ordinateurs de bureau and nice shoes which I’ve owned? I guess they are all in water.

I can’t wait for my life to be normal again.
