Since I have so many clothes with a bursting wardrobe, I might as well try to use something different every day. I wish there was an easier way to self-photograph, like if only I had an instant camera tripod! And I wish I could shrink and stretch my.......click to learn what next.

Tee looks like she is practising her yoga here. I'm not sure exactly what was going on as I didn't take these pictures. At this very moment here, whilst Tee enjoyed herself with some relatives (and did not miss me at all, mind you), I was being wheeled.......click to learn what next.

Do I look like an Information Booth?

OK, so for the longest time, people HAVE regarded me as one. Many of my friends from the past call me the walking directory.

Drinking water during pregnancy

Did you know that when you are pregnant, you are supposed to be consuming 2 to 3 litres of liquids per day??? If you're active, then 3 litres but if you're sedentary like myself, then 2 litres. Some days, I barely manage to accomplish 1 litre and that's.......click to learn what next.

Every woman should have a dressing table. But I don't. And the only reason is because we do not have space for it. Never did. Lately, the Hubs has been getting on my nerves because he keeps nagging me to clear my study desk (which is what I.......click to learn what next.
