I overate. Again.
What did i have for dinner?
After coming home from work about 9.30pm, I decided to whip something quick and simple.
Spiral pasta with tuna, edamame and tomatoes.
And a sprinkling of nori strips.
Elch! Sounds so appetising, right? But i finished the whole bowl.
That is why i am bloated now.
So tired of outside food at the moment. Even this will make me happy!!!
So stuffed!

Miss the 80's!
Saturday, October 11, 2008
I have been feeling really nostalgic lately.
My childhood memories and all toys and cartoon characters that i used to play/see on TV.
When i was young, my mother would really spoil us with anything that was cute. She loved those things herself and would buy for us when she goes shopping. She was a child at heart.
So all her interests were somehow rubbed off on me and my sisters.
We grew up with loving stickers collecting. She would buy those Sticker Magazines which featured all the american brands. Mello Smello, BJ, Lisa Frank, Mrs.Grossman, Sandylion, Toots, Hambly... oh i miss them.
What else that represents growing up in the 80's???
- Care Bears (I did have a plush toy... can't recall what happened to it!)...remember the 'care bear stare'?
- Rainbow Brite ( I also had the doll... shud have kept it...it would cost alot now!)
- Smurfs ( I remember watching the cartoon in the evening on TV3)
- Fraggle rock
- Voltron
We also collected alot of Sanrio stuff... from the stationery to the stickers. There was shop in Asia Jaya that was called 'Gift Lane' which had lovely Sanrio merchandise. I still love 'My Melody' and 'Little Twin Stars'. Have tried looking up all those vintage sanrio merchandise on Ebay but they really cost a bomb now!
I really wished i treasured those items that I had in my childhood more last time.

Dizzy all the time
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
Lately, I get dizzy easily. Like when i bend down just to pick up something or if I stand too long.
Checked my pressure. Seems ok.
Hubby thinks it is attributed to the late nights on the computer...
Maybe he is right...maybe he is wrong...not sure.
Probably not living a healthy lifestyle. Haven't exercised since like I can't even remember. Sometimes just walking up the stairs makes me breathless.

What's on TV?
Just finished watching 'Lipstick Jungle'. Kinda of found it interesting for today's storyline. I think it is the 3rd time I am watching this show. At first, I didn't like it at all before today's episode and was gonna stop following it. But after today's episode, I am a fan!!! ( I know hubby is not gonna like me watching these shows...) Andrew McCarthy is an absolute dreamboat too. Somehow, he brings be back to the eighties just watching him act. I still remember first seeing him in this movie 'Mannequin' with Kim Catrall. I watched it over and over again coz i had the video.
Initially, i found there were too many similarities between this other show 'Cashmere Mafia' which is aired on our local TV station. CM features the lives of 4 friends and LJ revolves around the lives of 3 friends. Sounds boring, right? Especially when both shows emphasises on super career women who are super rich and seem to have everything going on in their lives... except passion!!! The only reason why i do follow these shows is I like watching the fashion on these women and they are really gorgeous with all the make-up and almost perfect hair! Other than that, I am just a bored part-time housewife who still has dreams of dressing up and looking good. Rather than in my boring t-shirt and shorts attire that i wear everyday.
Ok lah. I don't want to sound like some TV reviewer. Just wanna jot down what I am watching at this point in time.
What else???
Amazing race asia is pretty exciting at the moment. Some teams are quite funny and are keeping me glued at the moment. I love Rachel ray shows. I started watching her shows about 2 months ago and I try to switch the TV on just to watch her for awhile. Her cooking doesn't look pretty interesting. It is more the whole concept of the show that is fun and exciting.
Caught 'Reaper' last week while in hospital with Ryan. First time. Quite funny too. But don't think I will be following it.
As a busy part time housewife who spends most of my time with the 'boy', I hardly get time to watch tv except when he is taking his nap, he is at school or he is with his father upstairs. Other than that, he will practically rule the tv or jump on me while I watch my shows.
