DAY 2 - Friday, 27th January 2012

-
Went to Ikea to check out on some furniture and lighting for my house in Melaka which I am renting out. Parked the car at Curve, left it at Car's International. It needed a good and much needed wash.

Walking around Ikea was a lonely affair, I was alone by the way, but I kinda liked it cause I didn't linger longer than necessary and I didn't buy anything too because if I did, it would have been a problem carrying them all the way to the car across the other side. Phewwww!!! That was a relief...hahaha

Took some pictures of what I wanted to get, jotted some details in my ever trusty notebook...'don't ever leave home without it'...looked around a bit more, then proceeded to the exit. Thank goodness I didn't buy anything too, the queues at the check out counters were long!

It was about 12 something when I left Ikea but I had 2 hours to spare while waiting for the car to be ready. So, what does one do at the Curve for 2 hours alone? I headed for MPH to look for some books. Browsed the aisles, checked some shelves, when I could not find what I was after, I asked the staff for assistance. Unfortunately, what I wanted was not to be found. I left soon after and headed for Borders next.

They too didn't have what I really wanted so I ended up buying a substitute. Next, I strolled over to Watsons, went straight to the shelf of what I wanted to buy, paid for it then I aimed for 'Chatime'...Yes!!! Have been waiting for it to reopen after CNY...so I got my usual Roasted Milk Tea with pearl...Emmm, ok. I know I have been coughing and should stay away from cold drinks. Guilty as charged...hehe

I still had time to spare...so I sauntered over to the Rock Corner for some CDs. Initially, I got myself 2 CDs, The Best Of Stylistics and Sergio Mendes but when I went to pay for the them, the guy at the counter suggested another CD to me and I ended up buying that one as well. It was Bread Essential...I can't believe I bought that CD as well...my goodness!







Looked at the time and there was about 20 mins left before I could collect my car. Wasn't sure if I should just wait somewhere or just go down in the hopes the car might be ready. Alas, it wasn't. I waited  at the ticket paying machine initially till 2 pm, (from where I was seated, I could see Cars International). Then I walked over to the car. There was a bit more that needed to be done so I waited there instead and had a chat with the guy in charge, we exchanged stories too. After about 10 or 15 mins, I was on my way home.

 At night, went through my unopened emails from 3 mail accounts, numbering some 1000 over of them! Yikes!!! That's too many isn't it? Oh well, good for this no FB week, I can open my mails in peace and I still have a lot to go through...*sighhhhh


Wanted to sleep early again but it was not to be. So continued with editing my friend's blog postings and eventually slept around 3 am. Bad!!!...

Hello!!!

Aahhh, at last I have a blog to call my own. Musings sounds good doesn't it? It's to tell of what I am thinking at the moment , to tell of my observations of all things that's around me and may I say, it's also to give my opinion on certain things from my point of view. Having this blog too enables me to practise my writing skills. Am thinking of writing a book or penning a memoir or two. So I guess, starting a blog is a good place as any to gauge what you readers think. At the moment, I am sitting here at Starbucks, located at the Empire Gallery in Subang Jaya. Three of my kids are here with me. They wanted to get some stuff before they leave for Japan this Wednesday. Hmmm, what else do I write here eh? Everything is still new to me; slowly but surely, I'll get there in no time at all. What I need is a little bit of practice. If my 11 year old daughter can do it (she has a blog too!) what more me right? But just finding out my lil' daughter has a blog gave me a

LIFE...without FACEBOOK for a week.

Since I am on a one week's leave of absence from Facebook, I thought I'd have a daily log of activities, starting from Day 1 till Day 7, or whatever day that's the last...haha DAY 1 - Thursday, 26th January, 2012 Started off the day as usual. Went around the condo cleaning and dusting and collecting bags of trash to be thrown down the chute. Had a shower, got dressed then went to Peekaboo at  The Curve for my customary hair wash. Lucky I went there early, otherwise I would have had to wait longer for my hair to be washed since it was their first day of reopening after the CNY celebrations and some of the staff were still on leave. After Peekaboo, I crossed over to Ikano Power Centre where the Cold Storage is to get some foodstuff. Since I already knew what I wanted to buy, it was a quick walk round the aisles with a basket in hand. Got all that I needed, then it was back to the Curve side, got the car and headed for home. At home, put all the stuff away, got myself

Resolutions, resolutions, resolutions...

Yeah...what are resolutions exactly? For me, resolutions are a set of goals I set for myself to be accomplished, maybe, till the end of the year....haha... The goals varies and of course that which suits my needs, in other words. I was first introduced to having a new year resolution by my late father when I was in my early teens. He would make me and my other sisters write out our resolutions and read them out to him and my mum! Yup! We had to read our resolutions to him so he would know if we had our priorities straight. Anyway, he gave us each a diary too so that we can keep track of our activities. Initially, we were most diligent in filling up our diaries but as the year progressed, we became lazy and stopped updating our activities altogether...that was till another new year approached...hahahaha The same can be said for our resolutions too. We would try to complete what we had listed but somewhere through the year, the resolutions took a back seat to other daily stuff. So, f
