The boys, Cooper and Chase and I were out for our morning walk on Saturday. All was good till we made the turn on the road heading towards our house. The boys started running fast towards some thing. I was sort of day dreaming and when they both started scrambling towards the shrubs it took [...]
Julie B, a lady with super kind heart, cheerful and always on the go. She was my co-worker at the travel company I was working at. She was always on my side whenever my wicked boss of the West starts to give me crap. I always had a good time with her at and outside [...]
See this picture on the left? This is what the church I go to looks like. Super boring in my book. It’s too contemporary for me. Even the church I go to on and off in Ipoh looks more like a Catholic church. I chose this current church is because it’s closer to my home [...]
Last Sunday was the first time I stepped into one of the two cathedrals in Minnesota, the Catheral St Paul. Picture taken while still inside the bus…. The Cathedral sits up on much higher grounds across the state Capitol….you can see a column with a green man in the middle of the picture….that man is [...]
Chinese New Year is here, yet I don’t feel the CNY mood at all….not a single bit. There is no such thing here as a Chinatown crap in Minnesota. Asian stores, yes, there are but the atmosphere is not the same. Honestly I forgot about CNY till I started getting all these “CNY card requests” [...]
My friend, Simmie, a fellow Malaysian, invited me to her CNY gathering at her house tomorrow. Thank goodness I’m getting back to my feet from the stupid cold. Yes, it’s going to be a a big feast where fat loss pills will be needed after or before! Nah, I don’t think I will resort to [...]
Yesterday was the longest drive home ever for me since I started with company. It took me 1 hour 15 minutes to get home which normally takes 25 minutes max. It started snowing early Thursday morning and by the time it was time to get home at 2:30 pm, snow was lighter and the sun [...]
Hello peeps, hope you all had a good Christmas with your love ones and friends. I know I had a good one, a very memorable one. Hubby didn’t come back which I have already expected. So I wasn’t disappointed at all that he was not here. I was prepared. I spent my Christmas eve morning [...]
Last week Thursday when I walked in to the building at 5:55 a.m., sky still dark, I didn’t see the flag at half mass, not till the sun rised, left my seat for potty breaks, came back and saw the flag like the above. I was thinking to myself why was the flag set at [...]
Continuation from the previous post of goats. DB placed a called to the city’s Animal Control (AC). First was to ask about Chase’s dog license. The city ordinance that I pulled up from the website says, quote from the city’s ordinance: Except as otherwise provided, no person shall keep any animal other than a household [...]
Know what that title means? I’m trying to imitate the sound both DB and I have been hearing since mid early April. Every day this “mehhhhhh”, “mehhhhhhh” comes on in the morning, afternoon, late afternoon, evenings and sometimes up to 8 – 9:30 p.m. If we have the windows and patio door shut, it’s not [...]
Another Chinese New Year away from my family in Malaysia/Spore. I told DB I will not be sighing so much this year and I just did. I don’t know why every time I think of my parents, sister and her family and my brother, I sigh. I know this sighing thing is becoming a habit [...]
Today is the 12th year I have been in Minnesota, calling this place my home. And since I came here, I have seen 4 inaugurations already: Prez Clinton, Bush, Bush and now Obama. I came here when Prez Clinton was into his second term. Though I’m not a citizen of America yet, I still find [...]
Here’s wishing everyone who drops over here to my humble blog a very Happy New Year! May 2009 brings each and everyone bountiful of whatever they are wishing/hoping for. glitter-graphics.com I still cannot believe 2009 is already here. The days in 2008 absolutely went by very quickly for me. The saying, “The older you get, [...]
