The Conspiracy

What conspiracy? The one where the moment your hubby leaves on a trip out of the country, one of the light bulbs in your bathroom starts doing the flickering aka disco aka haunted room w "faulty" light thing.

Damn. It. To. Hell.

And not like it's easy to replace. Although I've watched the man removed the cover .. Ok, scratch that .. That's a lie .. Although I've pretended to watch the man remove the cover, take out the non-usable bulb and replace it .. Truth it, in that million and one times he's done it, I wasn't paying any attention at all.

Why should I? He's around to do it. I just have to casually mention it, and my ever efficient handy husband will get a new bulb and it will be replaced in no time.

Of course, he makes me stand there and help him and presumably he wants me to learn how to do it in case, God forbid, he dies and then I'll really have to do it on my own.

I like to live on the edge. Let's just call it that. If I ever have to fend for myself in this world, my Contact List on my iPhone will certainly contain numbers to every possible person I'll need to get by in life .. A fella to fix my toilet, change bulbs, drill holes in the wall, assemble furniture .. U get the idea.

That or I'll have to finally learn how to do it. Whichever. Until such a time comes (hope it doesn't ever) .. My darling Hubby will always be here to replace that flickering bulb in our master bedroom bathroom.

Now, I just have to put up with the flickering for the next 5 nights. That's not too long. I can do it ! How bad can the flickering get, right ??!

I want to cut my hair ..

BUT .. Having done that a handful of times in my teens, it doesn't come out so well. I look absolutely hideous.

I. Kid. You. Not.

*sigh* why do I suddenly want to chop off my long hair? Cos it's a pain to maintain. To wash and dry. And to colour it. And my hair although it isn't as thick as when I was younger, it's STILL RELATIVELY thick.

Darn it to hell.

Short hair looks so easy to wash and dry. And to colour.

WHY OH WHY was I cursed with a big huge moon face that cannot carry of a short do?? WHY?!

I leave u now with a pic of my moon face with my bebe.

Someday ...

If I ever get to redo my bedroom before I die, I think this is a good idea .. I love this !! Just nice for handbags, accessories, books and knick knacks.

And with the door it's all hidden !! I detest open shelves. Lots of dust and if your stuff is not arranged nicely, it looks horribly messy.

Delighting you always .. Canon!!

I've always been a fan of Canon cameras. Always. I loved my G3 to bits when I first got it way back in 2003. And it's still in working order by the way. I use it when I cannot lug my EOS 7D out .. Except that the G3 is already very old and therefore the picture resolution at 4mp is low and not as sharp as I like.

Was browsing the Canon website and I like the Canon Ixus HS240. And it comes in PINK too!! At 16.1 mp, the pics should turn out sharp as hell. And it's Wifi enabled as well! How cool is that ??

Have a look at the specs on the Canon Singapore website. The price is ok I thought at $449 (RRP) .. Must go down and have a closer look at it. It should fit nicely into my handbag. Heh.

Morning person I am not ..

Today was the first time in a long while that I had breakfast at Macdonalds. I am not a morning person. Generally, I'm up at 9 am (not by choice) to bathe and change and send Emily to school by 11.15am. I sleep late. I need about 7 hours of sleep (any more and I get a headache) so that means I sleep at 2 am or later. What do I do, u ask.

Erm, anything I want. It is absolute bliss to be awake ALONE at that time .. I'm either watching cable tv, or shows on the iPad or surfing the net. I try not to buy stuff online too often (haha) .. and I refuse to clean up or organize things in the dead of night. Besides, I need the light on for that and I can't cos everyone else is asleep.

So anyway, I had Macdonalds today cos Emily had to go in early cos the kindy is taking them on an excursion. Yay for excursions !! Of course, since I slept at 2.30am and was up by 7.30am .. I was sleepy by 10am. Haha. I kept nodding off on the sofa and finally had a quick nap till it was time to take Lauren to school.

It will be a long time before I have breakfast at Macs again. No way I am getting up at 7.30 am any time soon.

You and me .. we were born to die.

This is currently one of my favourite songs .. this and that song by David Guetta, Titanium :p

This is "Born To Die" by Lana Del Rey .. such a COOL song to drive to.

I is old. I is.

The one thing I absolutely love about my iPhone is that with the 64gb of space I have in it, I have my whole music library wherever I go. And cos I'm always going up and down in my beloved Odyssey .. That is a real handy thing to have with me .. I can play any song that I choose. Provided of course that I have it in my library.

Today on the way home from school after picking Claudia up, I decided to listen to a Phil Collins song ..

My daughter pulls a face and says, "ugh, this sounds like an old song" .. I opened my mouth to instantly deny it, but stopped. I did some mental calculation and realized that shit, it IS AN OLD SONG by her standards. What the hell.

And then it hit me. THIS was how I felt when my Dad would put on his records like Cliff Richard etc. I would think, "ugh, what the hell. Such an old song" HAHAHAHAHA!

And now, sadly, I am the one listening to "old" songs.

*sigh* Aw, come on, there's only so many times you can listen to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry songs. It's nice to listen to songs from the 80s and 90s - songs I grew up with. Justin Bieber is CRAP, ok?! Haha.

Anyway, I did tell one of my daughters once : my car my songs. Next time when you get your own car, you can play whatever songs you like. But for now .. TOUGH.

Lol.
