And it got crackin’

March 8, 2010

Pristine screamed from the other room. “Maaaamaaaaa, come! come!!!!” I ran like a mad woman, with soapy hands thinking of a thousand and one things as the reason for all the panic. “Get the camera! Get the camera!”, she said. Pristine was by the window, all smiles and eyes oh so wide for this: The [...]

Nest update

March 4, 2010

A work colleague has asked me, “How’s the new place? Enjoying?”. I just nodded and smiled at her but when I walked to my car to drive back home, I couldn’t help but think : “Am I spending enough time in our new apartment to be able to really enjoy it?” So I calculated: I [...]

Torrential rains in the desert!?

February 28, 2010

Looking at the blue skies and sun coming out today, last night seemed like a distant nightmare. It rained heavily, like those rains in the tropical rainforests of South-East Asia.

Thank you very much for all your kind words regarding my oh-not-so discreet heart break. I feel great being able to voice it out. I’m working in an all-male office with no female chatty-chatty friend with day in and day out, hence the birth of this blog and random rants. Days after I wrote that post, [...]

The things you can’t get without drama

January 28, 2010

After a cortisol-enriched week, the apartment problem that we had has been solved. For those of you who were praying or thinking of donating a tent for my family to live in, you can take a break now. Thank you very much for all the kind words. They have paid up – I got the [...]

The starvation party

December 4, 2009

Photo for illustration purposes only. We were invited to an engagement party by my husband’s colleague. An engagement party, I asked him with a tinge of disbelief. He must have got it wrong. Maybe his work colleague was getting married and he missed the point but he came home with the invitation card that says [...]
