Have you ever felt this way?

Have any of you felt this way especially when you are in the working world?

Monday: Dread Monday and feeling the Monday BLUE

Tuesday pass, Wednesday pass..by Wednesday night, you feel glad that it's Thursday the next day.

On Thursday, you feel happier because it's Friday tomorrow.

When Friday comes, you feel more relax at work and feels a bit lazy to work harder. By the time you leave from work, you feel a big relief because you don't need to think about work for the next two days. You also don't have to wake up early the next morning.

Saturday happy..Sunday morning, feels ok. By the time Sunday evening is here, you feel the dread begins.

Monday..the whole cycle feeling repeats.

I am certain most people feel the same  :)

Back to the 'real world' again

I've been quiet lately. That's because I am back to work last month. Found a new role and has been on the role for slightly more than a month now.

Do I like the role? I don't know. I told myself to give it little more time. I think I have picked the system quite alright now. Deep down, don't really like the fact that I got no 'backup' and the role is solely reliance on ME!  See how it goes for the next few months..see if I can hang on to it.

Sad to see this..

A tinge of sadness to see this on Restaurant City today..goodbye!

What I have read..

When I was still working, travelling time on the tube is at least half an hour. I will usually grab a newspaper to read during the journey. One day, I saw this lady reading a book by Sophie Kinsella. It suddenly struck my mind, hey..I should go grab one of her book to read. I have read 3 of her books from The Shopaholic series about 10 years ago and found it very entertaining.


So, I went to get this standalone novel of hers, The Undomestic Goddess after reading some reviews. I am usually a slow reader. A book with 400 pages will usually take me a long time to read but surprisingly, it took me only a week to finish reading this (ok..some people may probably read this in 2-3 days..hehe). Very entertaining and funny too as I found myself laughing in the tube at times. Highly recommended for light reading.

After reading The Undomestic Goddess, I got quite addicted to Sophie's writing skills. Got the second standalone novel, Can You Keep a Secret?. Again, it was quite a good book. Entertaining I would say with a little of romance in it.

To continuously keep myself 'entertained' during the travel to work, I bought this third book (for this year). Randomly picked this novel from Waterstone's as I was spoilt with choices and at the same time didn't want to pay too much for one. A good read I would say but the storyline is a bit slow. Nevertheless, what I like about it is that it focuses on the value of friendship and appreciating the people you love. 

So, 3 books read in less than a month. I am proud that I make some time to pick up reading again. The next is to read the Millenium trilogy. Lets see how long it will take me to read =)

Backlog backlogs and more backlogs

You will be seeing a lot more post from now..trying to clear all my backlogs. Tonnes of cooking recipes to share and of course a quicker way for me to dig into the blog rather than the recipes books / sites. Also to update are the K-dramas that I've watched and any other personal related matters, probably more of the kids stuff.

Look out for this space..!

The City Hall

To be honest, I can't remember exactly when did I watched this drama but I reckon it was sometime back in mid 2010. It was recommended by a friend at that point of time and surprisingly, some other K-drama friends recently also recommended it.

I don't want to go into details of the story and leave a link here if you are interested..

The City Hall

For this K-drama, I would rate 8/10. As far as I can recall, it was quite funny because of the character Kim Sun Ah played in the drama. The main actor, Cha Seung Won (although not the typical eye candy guy..LOL!), he does have some magnetism ;). 

Watch it if you have the time..

New lappie :)

Ever since my lappie died on me last September, I have been using hubby's one. It's never the same feeling of using one of your own if you get what I mean. After much research and not wanting to spend too much on one, I decided to buy this.

COMPAQ Presario CQ57

It was a good deal in conjunction with the Christmas sale and also a self bought Christmas cum birthday gift to myself! I am not too much of a technology person, so this one works well for me to surf the net and some other Microsoft Office usage. 

Restaurant City is closing soon :(

My all time favourite game on Facebook, Restaurant City will be closing down which made me quite sad. Last day will be on the 29th June. I have been playing this game since April 2009, so that was 3 years ago.

It has been a fun game with new recipes to learn and ingredients to collect / buy and receive from friends. I will miss this game..thank you for accompanying me in the last 3 years.

ADIÓS and good luck to the team who has developed this game!!

The kids have grown!

These photos were taken on Boxing Day and it was also MK's 2nd birthday. The photos were self taken by me. Love the second and last photo as MK has put on his cheeky look! KK was obviously oblivious to what was happening and busy sucking her fingers!

How they have grown! MK is now 2 years and 4 months old and KK is 13.5 months old. 2 precious and beautiful gifts from God!

First post for 2012

It has been 6.5 months since my last post. As I log in to the Blogspot main site, I struggled once again to find my drafts and when I did, oh gosh..I still have a few drafts in the backlog. I promise myself this time to try to post them.

Where do I start now? Ok..lets start with what happened since January 2012. Got myself a contractual job with one of the global management consultancy, a great company to have on my CV. The role came to an end recently and that lead me back to my housewife life now while searching for a new role (hopefully not too long). The kids are still in the nursery so mummy can have some break.

So other than work over the last 4 months and spending time with the family on weekend, nothing really exciting for the year. We went to Norwich during the recent Easter break with DK's aunty and uncle. It was a good getaway from the busy city life and most importantly, it was for the kids to experience something different.  MK enjoyed himself the most as he gets to travel on his favourite transport, the TRAIN..a steam engine train to be exact!

Will post more updates and other interesting things happening. Stay tune!
