四月将近，好快好快。。。
这个虎年似乎对“孙仔”我非常不如意！
从开年到今， 没有一庄值得欢呼如意的“顺事”！
感觉很烦，很多杂事缠身，不爽的事一摞摞！
就连去拜拜，求平安和保护时，我都感觉被那‘贵人’（念经去霉的达人）砍菜头！ 她以神为理，付了必要的费用，要求我加钱，我还来不及反应，她就直接给了个recycle红包要我放钱。。。。“你要放可以压你一年的，每个月一块而已！”跪在众多神灵前面，正式的ritual又还没开始；念经的package 似乎就看我有没有放钱，能说不吗！临走之前，以为可以逃之夭夭，‘贵人’叫住我。。。“你要添油！！！小姐.”
上了京一趟还是觉得闷纳，天气太冷和干燥，河流结冰，树枝枯萎， 本以为可以有三十年的“第一次”但小雪竟遍遍作对,选择在我到达的前一天和离后的一天飙下！
添购了一个新的包包-喜悦只是短暂，超快感！
嗨！有完没完…

A one day tour with our new comer baby Lucius!
Remember the early year political episode which caused a upstir? The havoc compelled a state of emergency and all vistors are advised to stay clear. And i was one of the upcoming traveller who needed to review the travel plan due to the security situation.
After a delayed of 10months, i arrived and returned safety from the friendly and sunny city.
It was a pleasurable trip, people watching, admiring the simplicity yet artistic interior designs of shops, walking shop by shop amazed with the bulk fashionable wears and assessories, savouring juicy mangos & melons under the hot burning sun, enjoying the BBQ squids (overdose), the tasty corns and mouthful of birdnests, grinning ear to ear at everything at a steal prices…
I especially enjoyed lazing in this nice cosy cafe, here’s speaks for itself:
Bangkok is a modern city, full of creativity, full of lives, full of fun…they take pains to create the atmosphere for Halloween…i feel it:
And lastly, i love my manicures and pedicures. The thais are simply good in arts and designs, they make wonders out of bare tools. I had a excellent hand-painted artwork at 200baht each for the bravo mani and pedi!
The lovely bows and pokka dots…
Showtime for the cutie strawberries now:
Tis so merry right?…Now! i believed, i shall be blessed by buddha. Yippie!

“Sometimes, its really hard to walk in single woman shoes. That’s why you sometimes need really special shoes”
It’s been a long long time since i groom my nails!
Old habits die hard and i am back to vanity again…
This summer09, christmas comes fast forward with glitters and merry at sight:
Glitter, blings blings are in my genes, i cannot do without!
Many years ago, then as a supplementary card holder, i was an avid user. I would credit the heavy usage as a new enthusiastic user, partly peer pressure, somewhat commercial temptations and other unspoken reasons. Every month, i will never fail to skip any possibility to accrue the bills. Simply, i do not have any money sense and i would term it as insensible transactions. Come month end, i will be notified by the main holder on my outstanding payable. Occassionally, as an irresponsible user, i will play delay tactics resulting the latter to fund the payment first. Somehow, ultimately, so blessed, i managed to settle my insensible expenditures each time.
Eventually when i found my own ability to promote myself to a principle card holder. It was a jolly good news that the former main holder welcome. I realised, its a shitty affair - to view the past transactions, to be accountable for my past actions, to be on time for payment…
A page from a magazine put me in deep reflection and I’ve learnt the experience from my past mistakes.
“If you charge today’s expense on a credit card, you’re using tomorrow’s salary to pay for it. And if you’re using a future income to repay a debt, then you can’t invest it for future wealth. The smartest way to improve your finances?
CLEAR ALL EXISTING DEBTS & START ON A CLEAN SLATE”
I made it!
