Just when I think nothing will facinate me in the carpark...



A speed boat is sitting right next to the Hummer.

My toyota looks like a toy sitting next to them.

How often do you see this in a civilised world?



A Hummer! In my neighbourhood! I am very impressed.

Can you spot miss shy?




Silly cat has been hiding ever since we moved into the apartment.

Ironing is so much fun


when you have the right tools. Oh gosh, I never realise I have such good steam iron. Call me a dork, but ironing clothes to me is very calming and relaxing.

Ta da!


I installed my own curtain! A small step for mankind but a big step for me.

Meet my tools

To install curtain...

A girl needs a proper ladder,

a set of handy tools,

AND the magnificant cordless power drill! (I have wanted a set of these for the longest time)

Close up on Mr. Drill.

Wait and see the result in the next post.

They finally arrived!


They look tiny in this apartment. But they are all I have. Of course, excluding my cat. She is hiding somewhere in the corner.

Very user friendly software, you can learn it and start using it in one single day.

My baby has a new toilet

The McArabia Value Meal


I thought it was something new. It turned out to be a chicken wrap which could be found in Singapore. I felt so cheated!

Dubai Kennels and Cattery



I trust my baby is in good hands. But I still want her back as soon as possible.

I miss her so much. She is so lovely.
