Our calendar 2011
This is such a late post but nonetheless I finally got down to do the layout for this calendar and got it printed after procrastinating for a year since I signed the photo package at an IT fair!
I still have 2 coffee table books and a soft cover album to do.
I've decided that each of the coffee table book will be for my Japan 2009 and Korea 2010 vacation.
The soft cover book will be a random collection of the kiddos' photos. Luckily I still have until the end if this year before the voucher expires... Let's see....

Buying Chanel...love it or can't afford Hermes
There is an interesting thread in the Purse Forum debating this topic of "Buying Chanel...love it or can't afford Hermes?"
I find it amusing that the person who started this thread EVER thought that buying Chanel (after acquring a few Hermes) is 'going down'? It's like an insult to people like me who do not own a single piece of Hermes by the way. And I do not think that I will be buying any Hermes for some time or till I can really appreciate the quality or design so to speak.
And the lady who started this thread got slammed by a few forumers in the beginning of the thread. I count myself lucky that I do not really appreciate Hermes yet though it is like a norm for Chanel lovers to move on to Hermes as though it's like achieving the next level. Some avid Chanel collectors justified that it's not a matter of them not being able to afford a Hermes piece a most of them own at least 20-30 Chanels at any point of time. So it's unlikely that they cannot afford Hermes. It's a matter of personal choice. Just like why some people do not like LVs, or do not like Chanels.
A girlfriend asked me why I did not use the funds for 2 Chanels to get Hermes Kelly instead? She argued that the quality of leather, workmanship , so on is of superior quality and Chanel's quality is going downhill. Yes I know. But for the price of each Hermes piece, they better be superior and nothing less than that! Isnt't it? I still love the femanine look of Chanel pieces. Hermes is just too plain looking for me.
Most important reason is, Hermes is not me - at least for now. I'm a casual girl by nature and it takes really important occasions for me to dress up to the nines. I work from home and stay at home most of the time. And most important of all, I'm no tai-tai...when on earth will I have a chance to carry such an expensive bag? Haha, as for now, I really do prefer to use the funds for 2 classic Chanels and perhaps add a few fun season items here and there. I prefer variety and details in my bags. I'm still not quite done with flaps and CC's...so it'll really be while before I decide if I'm heading towards the Orange...or I may not even get one cos the price will become crazier by then.
Okay but if you ask me if I will buy LV again now that I'm into the Chanel fanatic world. I'll say nobut thats only because will still rather hold the funds for more classic pieces be it Chanel or other brands. Now I only buy bags that hold their value so that I can pass on to my girl :-).
And so, it makes me wonder some ladies out there who own a piece from Hermes - Is it really because they love the bag so much or because its a sign of status (or some prefer to call it style). Will you pay for a Hermes?

P/S: As many Hermes fans prefers a Birkin, I tend to lean towards a Kelly or a Lindy more as I feel that Birkin really looks like a briefcase to me.
I have a hunch that my first Hermes will be a Lindy :P
Coming soon.
I'm a good girl...am practising a one in one out theory here. Bijoux bijoux bijoux....love.
after this and 2 more and I'm quite done :P
after this and 2 more and I'm quite done :P
Bushed!!
Phew! Finally it's coming to the end of the school holidays! Although Favian isn't really a bother and quite independent, but it's tiring when a kiddo is at home 24/7.
Luckily Mischa's childcare routine is not affected even during the school holidays otherwise i would have gone mad.
Thank goodness Favian is recovering well from his surgery and so far everything seems fine. Tomorrow will be his follow-up checkup.Hope to hear good reviews from the doc.
The helper has been good so far. though a little slow and with less intiative compared to my previous one, I think she will be able to catch up pretty fast.
As far as co-sleeping goes, Mischa has been good too, sleeping with Favian and the helper. So far so good and we fnally can have the entire King size bed all to ourselves! I realised I sleep better at night too as no one is kicking me all over the place at night!
Let's hope things get better....

Tweets that touched my heart...I LOVE JAPAN!
A friend on FB shared this extract from Tweeter. I was reading this when i needed to cool down after the argument with hubby. These brought tears to my eyes (i was really weeping) and my earlier ranting was not significant at all compared to the tragedy in Japan now. As devastating as it is, I still try to catch the newstime for updated reports on Japan's situation. I take the opportunity to educate my kiddos though they find it 'boring' that the news kept on repeating about the Earthquake and Tsunami.
We are really a lucky bunch here. But that's life isn't it? We always envy other countries for having thr 4 seasons, cheaper luxury items and cities/ places they can explore in within their own country. But God is really fair, you get some you lose some.
Not that I'm very pleased with the current policies of our nation, but I count my blessings to be born in this country though I will really hope to move if there is chance :P

Very very touching 'voices' of the people....It reminds me of the warmth I felt when we were touring in Japan in 2008. Everywhere we go, the Japanese are so polite, well-mannered and service-orientated. This has to be in their culture all along...and during bad times like this, you can truly see...I love Japan...I will go back again someday..I will.
* ディズニーランドでの出来事
http://twitter.com/unosuke/status/46376846505426944
ディ ズニーランドでは、ショップのお菓子なども配給された。ちょっと派手目な女子高生たちが必要以上にたくさんもらってて「何だ？」って一瞬思ったけど、その 後その子たちが、避難所の子供たちにお菓子を配っていたところ見て感動。子供連れは動けない状況だったから、本当にありがたい心配りだった
At Tokyo Disneyland:
Tokyo Disneyland was handing out its shops’ food and drinks for free to the stranded people nearby. I saw a bunch of snobby looking highschool girls walking away with large portions of it and initially though “What the …” But I later I found out they were taking them to the families with little children at emergency evacuation areas. Very perceptive of them, and a very kind thing to do indeed.
* 渋滞した交差点での出来事
http://twitter.com/micakom/status/46264887281848320
一 回の青信号で１台しか前に進めないなんてザラだったけど、誰もが譲り合い穏やかに運転している姿に感動した。複雑な交差点で交通が５分以上完全マヒする シーンもあったけど、１０時間の間お礼以外のクラクションの音を耳にしなかった。恐怖と同時に心温まる時間で、日本がますます好きになった。
At a congested downtown intersection …
Cars were moving at the rate of maybe one every green light, but everyone was letting each other go first with a warm look and a smile. At a complicated intersection, the traffic was at a complete standstill for 5 minutes, but I listened for 10 minutes and didn’t hear a single beep or honk except for an occasional one thanking someone for giving way. It was a terrifying day, but scenes like this warmed me and made me love my country even more.

バスが全然来ない中、@saiso が、バス停の前にある薬局でカイロを買ってきて、並んで待ってる人みんなに配った！
Bus stop mini episode:
It was freezing and bus was taking ages to arrive. “@saiso” left the queue to run to a nearby pharmacy. He bought heating pads and gave one to everyone in the queue!

This is what I am today
I can feel the throat infection coming...
And my new helper just came today, tons to tell her. can you imagine an entire month of mess in the house? Oh another mission I hope to succeed...tonight is the 1st time Mischa's sleeping with the new helper. I hope she can bond with Mischa more so that I can sneek out once a while for some late night movies or catch up with my girl friends.
Let's hope they both like one another.
Just downed some beer (hoping to 'cool' my body and soothe the throat) and feel like sleeping now....
The power of an Earthquake
JAPAN -- The massive earthquake that struck northeast Japan last March 11 has shortened the length Earth's day by a fraction and shifted how the planet's mass is distributed.
A new analysis of the 8.9-9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan has found that the intense temblor has accelerated Earth's spin, shortening the length of the 24-hour day by 1.8 microseconds, according to geophysicist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Gross refined his estimates of the Japan quake's impact - which previously suggested a 1.6-microsecond shortening of the day - based on new data on how much the fault that triggered the earthquake slipped to redistribute the planet's mass. A microsecond is a millionth of a second.
"By changing the distribution of the Earth's mass, the Japanese earthquake should have caused the
Earth to rotate a bit faster, shortening the length of the day by about 1.8 microseconds," Gross told SPACE.com in an e-mail. More refinements are possible as new information on the earthquake comes to light, he added.
The scenario is similar to that of a figure skater drawing her arms inward during a spin to turn faster on the ice. The closer the mass shift during an earthquake is to the equator, the more it will speed up the spinning Earth.
One Earth day is about 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds, long. Over the course of a year, its length varies by about one millisecond, or 1,000 microseconds, due to seasonal variations in the planet's mass distribution such as the seasonal shift of the jet stream.
The initial data suggests Friday's earthquake moved Japan's main island about 8 feet, according to Kenneth Hudnut of the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake also shifted Earth's figure axis by about 6 1/2 inches (17 centimeters), Gross added.
The Earth's figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis in space, which it spins around once every day at a speed of about 1,000 mph (1,604 kph). The figure axis is the axis around which the Earth's mass is balanced and the north-south axis by about 33 feet (10 meters).
"This shift in the position of the figure axis will cause the Earth to wobble a bit differently as it rotates, but will not cause a shift of the Earth's axis in space - only external forces like the gravitational attraction of the sun, moon, and planets can do that," Gross said.
This isn't the first time a massive earthquake has changed the length of Earth's day. Major temblors have shortened day length in the past.
The 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile last year also sped up the planet's rotation and shortened the day by 1.26 microseconds. The 9.1 Sumatra earthquake in 2004 shortened the day by 6.8 microseconds.
And the impact from Japan's 8.9-magnitude temblor may not be com¬pletely over. The weaker aftershocks may contribute tiny changes to day length as well.
The March 11 quake was the largest ever recorded in Japan and is the world's fifth largest earthquake to strike since 1900, according to the USGS. It struck offshore about 231 miles (373 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo and 80 miles (130 km) east of the city of Sendai, and created a massive tsunami that has devastated Japan's northeastern coastal areas. At least 20 aftershocks registering a 6.0 magnitude or higher have followed the main temblor.
"In theory, anything that redistributes the Earth's mass will change the Earth's rotation," Gross said. "So in principle the smaller aftershocks will also have an effect on the Earth's rotation. But since the aftershocks are smaller their effect will also be smaller." (Space.com)
My heart ache upon seeing these photos of the aftermath in Japan. This is such a disturbing news and the news flash just announced that Tokyo has been hit by the earthquake again just hours ago , this time measuring 6.0 on the R scale.
Dad and mum were suppose to leave for their much anticipated Japan tour early April. What luck! We may consider it lucky that the mishap did not take place when the folks are there..so it's still a blessing in disguise. Looks like the trip is a definate no-go for them...we will be worried sick.
Looking at the news report, there is really nothing much we can do except to keep them in our prayers regardless of religion.

Sorrows in Japan
The earthquake hit Japan on a black Friday ... I've been catching the news for the past few days and the recent news confirmed that there is radiation leak from a nuclear plant, followed by the Tsunami days ago.
One of my regular customer was unfortunately there when the earthquake too place. It was a traumatising experience for her with her hubby and her young daughter. She was supposed to be coming back only on Tuesday, but this holiday had to end earlier than expected. Fortunately they managed to get tickets back home yesterday. Such a relief for her...
I guess one will never know how it feels to be in such a situation unless your personal experience it and I do not wish to experience this in my whole life i tell you... My heart goes out to the Japanese and people affected there. I've been to this beautiful country 2 years ago and it's really sad to see the extent of damage in the news. hope that they will stay strong and this nightmare be over soon.
as I was typing, i received this sms from a friend saying that the nuclear blast on Sunday may cause radioactive particles in the air to come down with the rain and may cause burns or even cancer....BUT some said it turned out to be hoax...hiaz...who on earth is so free and sadistic to play such a prank on others' misery? ..... such a sad thing to happen...sigh...

Let's stand up, WOMEN!
I'm pretty disturbed by the 2 seperate conversations I had with 2 girl pals today. And particularly with one of them.
It's about the hb and the maid issues (again!)
I don't know if she reads my blog, but I'll be very truthful here cos anyway I shared with her my point of view. I hope she can see where I'm coming from and not take it as a criticism.
We women used to be very submissive in the older days...even my mum's era, woman seldom go out to work due to family commitment vs the meagre income they bring in. Take my mum for instance. She didn't receive really high education, hence she chose to be a SAHM to take care of my brother and I after she gave birth to my elder brother. And for woman in those days, they need financial security as well as family ties. We seldom hear from divorce cases before as much as these days. I guess the most obvious reason being women are more independent and will not take the shit from men anymore.
I'm not trying to say that we should walk out of the marriage whenever something crops up. BUT i stongly believe that we should stand up for ourselves, and make the relationship work 2 ways and not any other ways.
We shouldn't be tied down because of worrying about financial support. To some degree, we have to think of our kids. However ,however ,however (really getting frustrated here! ) we must never never hang on to a relationship because we want and think that the kids will be happy too if mummy and daddy 'pretend' to be loving but in actual fact, mummy is the one constantly giving in......
I'm no expert in this marriage thingy, but having been through a rough patch myself..... i think alot of things can work out if we want to. And by walking out sometimes, it wakes the man up on their feet to start thinking. I was insecure at times cos' I have not been in touch with the working scene for sometime. I once felt being 'bullied' by my hb and felt insecure aboout the whole thing that I freaked out. I wanted out of this marriage too, but things made a turn when we trashed things out. It's a long story and i wont go into details here. I just want to tell this friend that by being the party who gives in 24/7 isn't going to work out. It's just gonna be the start of a painful long journey with a man you love, but hate alot at the same time...Do you think your kids will not feel it?
I stress again that I'm not encouraging anyone to walk out, but to trash things out and make your stand..dun just be a 'little woman' without dignity. Please don't blame me for being so blunt, but I really have no more advice for her except to make her stand up for herself. I wish you all the best ,C!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so, the other conversation I had was with a close pal. She is getting married and I'm indeed happy for her. I've seen her go through bad times in her past relationship and finally she found her true love. But she shared with me her problem with her husband-to-be. There is this woman in the picture who pesters her hb but her he claimed that they are just friends. I shared with her my little story too - not to trust men 100%...it' s better to be a little more reserved cos when things crop up, it'll be easier to handle than to have total faith and trust smashed right in your face. Of course she's in such a honeymoon mood to take me seriously. And her man on the other hand is accusing her of being overly-sensitive...DUH! Men...why can't they just listen to us for once!
And women...
When can we not depend on men (totally)?
When can we be as nonchalant as men?
When can we master the skill of 'shutting' our ears as and when we want to?
When can we not worry about our facial hair growing and pores enlarging?
When can we play with our kids one moment and leave for a drink the next moment without worries?
When can we stop thinking when we can be like the men?
P/S: haha..ignorre me...i think im ranting too much here after the 2 conversations. I really wish to be a man in my next life!

Bye bye tooth gap
Tomorrow at 10am will be the scheduled tooth surgery for Favian. Hiaz, my poor boy has 2 extra teeth that are causing a big gap between his central incisors. And to add to this weird occurence, the 2 teeth are inverted! The only way is to remove them so that the gap between the incisors will close up..hopefully by themselves, otherwise he will need to have some sort of braces to pull the teeth together - that's another procedure after this trauma.
Favian will be under GA and recovery will probably take some time. I feel the heartache for him 'cos Favian's threshold of pain is almost non-existent. Thankfully the new helper will be coming these 2 days, at least she will be able to attend to the other nitty-gritty stuffs while I concentrate looking after Favian giving him the comfort. hubby and I hope that this minor surgery will be over soon and Favian will have a nicer smile in years to come.

Tired to the max!
It's been a crazy 3 weeks i tell you. I'm 'zombified' (if there's even this word!), not having enough sleep and having to attend to the nitty-gritty stuffs in the day.
My maid's gone for almost a month, and i haven't been really doing much chores lately, just 'nuah-ing' at home in front of the TV or surfing the forum and FB.
I have tons of orders to catch up with and I'm slowly working on them. 2 things to share:
Bad news first, the maid i previously selected fresh from Philipines still hasn't got a confirmation from agency if she's gonna make it here. Good news is, i have chosen a transfer maid ( i sweared not to take a transfer maid!! Argh!) out of desperation.. I think it's fate (too early to consider it luck) that i found this agency. I was enquiring about another maid whom i did a search online and found her biodata. But she's been taken so this agent recommended this transfer maid to me.
I rushed down to Far East just to check it out and interview her. She's pleasant looking, much younger than my previous maid, neat and clean looking.
She should be able to come over by next week (cross my fingers). I really need to get back to my routine and plenty of good nights sleep cos' I intend to let the new helper sleep in with Mischa! Woohoo! hopefully i'll be able to sneek out for some late night movies with hb soon!
