To be honest, the reason I haven't logged on to write in my blog for the past few days is because hubby and I found Desperate Housewives season 3 on iTunes (since it's not yet being shown on TV here), and couldn't resist not buying ALL the 13 episodes thus far. So we did and we watched them all. Night after night, we would sit in front of this huge ass computer screen and watch this oh-so-cool TV series. The dark and gripping reality of suburbia coated with gorgeous actors who frolick on the screen, acting out what looks like a normal life on the surface, is definitely my kind of cup of tea when it comes to television series. Call me sad, but now that we've watched all the episodes, there's nothing else for us to watch tonight...boo hoo...and I'm having withdrawal symptoms: sweaty palms, shivers, panic attacks...hahaa, just kidding. No, my withdrawal symptoms are not that bad, it just leads me to eat more snacks than I usually do.
Now we're counting the days until they uploaded the latest episode on iTunes so we can watch it!!! You'll know, when I miss writing my blog, that probably means that I'm getting my Desperate Housewives fix.

Winds of Change
I've been itching to get my fingers typing away on my laptop since this morning. So relieved that I finally get to do it now. I had to leave the house around 6.45am to catch the train to meet my cousin at her kindergarten, where she's teaching. I volunteered to help her out with one of the kindergarten classes on their field trip today. It was exciting to deal with so many children all at once, and thank goodness that they were all well-behaved pupils. Although at times it looked obvious that they'd rather be at the zoo than poring over fabric and cloths, they obeyed our every instruction. I'm just glad that nobody got lost in my hands!
After that, I went to meet my old colleagues for lunch. That was nice to be able to catch up with the few people who made my short stay at my previous company enjoyable. We were giggling like teenage girls with raging hormones over muscles, six-pack abs and hunk factors of certain celebs and even the current American Idol contestants! And to boot, we were mostly married women with children...hah! But I guess girls will be girls and boys will be boys, or as the saying goes.
And now it seems that I've been asked to take on a project to conceptualise some educational materials for the cancer centre for one of the biggest health organisations here. So wish me luck that all goes well with this project.
For a change, I'm also kind of enjoying the weather now that the sun is slowly pushing its way out of the clouds. Let's hope the weather will stay like this or become sunnier over the weekend, as I've just had about enough of the rain...

Dreary Day (with a positive spin)
It seems like the rainy weather in this part of Asia is never going to end. How I wish for those hot summer days and balmy nights in Australia again. This morning I had to walk my daughter to school, in the rain, and why? Because none of those damn taxi drivers would stop for us. They would rather wait for a call and pick up those passengers instead of one from the street. And all of this for a measly, 'tho rip-off, $4 extra!!! To make matters worse, I had to do the same coming back home. As I saw the taxi queue was longer than a python's body, with no taxis in sight, I was forced to walk home, again in the pouring rain.
But on a more positive note, my daughter had her first ballet class yesterday. It was so cute to see all those little girls in their pink leotards and pink tutus, pink stockings and pink ballet shoes. It's great to also see my daughter having so much fun! At school today, she'll have her first music lesson, so that should be a joy for her since she seems inclined to anything musical or melodious.
Oh yeah, one more thing, I have to agree with my friends who told me that blogging is addictive, because I've truly felt its effects on me. Wow, imagine a space where you can express your feelings, manipulate it as to how you'd like it to be seen and still reflect who you are. I suggest that you try blogging for yourself and experience the therapeutic and hypnotic effects it can have in your life!
Till later...

Disney Channel Overdose
As any parent of a young child may tell you, their TV may be tuned 24/7 to Disney Channel. As is the case with mine, I've now officially overdosed on Disney Channel!
Ask me to sing any song from High School Musical, Cheetah Girls 1 and 2 or Kim Possible, The Buzz on Maggie and even Little Einsteins, and I can sing it word for word!!! Scary, isn't it, to see a grown woman humming constantly to the tunes of Strawberry Shortcake ("Stru buh buh buh berry") or Totally Spies.
I guess we can blame this either on damn good songwriting or excessive TV viewing habits. In either case, I still love Disney Channel, although I try not to watch it too often. As it does get kind of embarassing when you're caught unaware, singing to the theme song of Mickey Mouseworks in the middle of the supermarket!

Day 1
Well, well, this is my first ever blog entry. Friends tell me that this can get addictive, so I'm trying it out for myself to see if it's true!
Actually, I have no real reason to start a blog. There's nothing much interesting in my life that anyone would be interested to know about. I'm just going through the daily motions of being a mother to my 3-year-old and a wife to my adorably cuddly hubby. Hence, the title of my blog! This domestic goddess-wannabe is drawing inspirations from Nigella Lawson to try to make my household more interesting (it would definitely help if I had her culinary skills and 'hot' factor...hah!)
Since I've just resigned from my full-time job at a very mismanaged local company (which explains my resignation), I'm cherishing the fact that I'm now able to stay at home again and have more time with the family. From my experience at my previous job, I've learnt that life can be a bitch (and people can be damn evil just so they can get what they want), but it has to go on. So I'm happy to say that...
I AM FREE!!! Free from evil colleagues, free from having to suck up to clueless bosses and free from those pathetic individuals whose revolting attitudes are more renowned than their skills!!!
