"We Should Catch Up Sometime"

I'm hardly the person to make new year resolutions but when 09 started, I did have in mind to catch up with old pals (or new), all in the spirit of motherhood. This, mostly because I realised that it gets more important for girls to have girl pals as we get older. Its been good progress so far and especially with my reunited minah kakis from a god-forsaken art school, it left me a great sense of appreciation to have known them.



I've always had boys as friends but at the point I was entering motherhood, that didn't seem to work out very well and I wasn't blessed with sisters thus my new-found girly moments, I like it pretty much. Latebloomer gitu.. Now anytime I get called for an auntie-date, I'm so on!

Sans Coldplay

What coincidence. I was looking up my archived discs for old photos when I found Coldplay's scanned setlist of their gig in 2001. Like almost everyone on FB was having hangover from the gig on Monday; everyone but me - I just don't and can't like them still but I should be ashamed to have gone to see them play here with Travis. (But that's because it was only fifty bucks for 2 bands and I didnt have much financial responsibilities then). Anyway, this setlist landed on my feet despite the frantic mobbing. I picked it up and shoved it in my pocket ignoring the exceedingly evil glares thrown at me. I regret not letting them have it.. It could've saved lives.

why are they capable of waking up at 7am on a wet sunday despite having a late night?

Mini gig-goers

Sunday got fine (what more with Mister beaming ear to ear over pool's win) and our trip to esplanade with the kids was fab. from the weather, to the bands to the sound technicals, to our parking spot, to our seats (thanks faezah who spared us centre top space when the place is almost packed to brim) to the company. mocca+yuna+typewriter = one of the best reasons to take the trip down with the kids.

Alphabreaks. OMG kids got cool.

I absolutely love what I saw on Playhouse Disney recently. Alphabreaks is a new kids' show that teaches alphabet through music. That nifty band outfit, awesome set design, their outfit color coordination and of course, handsome musicians made me do a bit of homework.


The kids in the video are crushingly adorable.

And the band that played, Dappled Cities is on my exploration list.

Yoghurt for Babies

Pumpkin loves but it seems not many supermarkets carry them. I got mine at NTUC AMK Hub.

(500) Days of Summer

i'm anticipating this flick

not just because it has The Smiths on soundtrack but also because Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel makes a perfect combo.

A Then-and-Now Post

In 1999 I went to Ho Chin Minh with Ashley to run errand for Matriarch and we made a couple of friends. Ten years later, one of them came to Singapore to work so Ashley and I caught up with him during the weekend. I love how things turn out the way you least expect it to.

Here's a Then-and-Now pic ONTD style.
