Should We Fly Home?

Feb-26-2010 By shoppingmum

It’s summer holiday again after next week, and my kids will have a 10 weeks break. It’s quite a long holiday so we are enrolling them for a month of summer camp at school, and we are still thinking if we should send them home for holiday in April. I know that their grandparents would love to see them again soon, but I can’t be home for too long.

I haven’t checked the price of the flight tickets here, and with the epson receipt printer at home, I can’t print out the itinerary too. I will discuss with hubby again, and see if we will book the flight next week.

Gifts

Feb-26-2010 By shoppingmum

I can’t wait for hubby to be back tomorrow night. He bought some toys for the kids again, and I know that he won’t be getting me anything. Sigh…after years of marriage, he has stopped giving me gifts!

I’m so jealous with other husbands who still shower their wives with surprises, but my hubby, he has never been romantic. :P But anyway, as long as he’s not getting me a testosterone cream or any lousy gift, I don’t mind if he can just get me a little token of love. Perhaps some chocolate?

Praying

Feb-25-2010 By shoppingmum

I hope that everything is going to be fine tomorrow, since it’s the day when they will announce the verdict on Taksin’s seized assets. I don’t want to go through another political turbulence here, where it kills the stability of the country and its economy. I can finally see some improvement in our biz, so please let it continue to grow. We’ve lost our only salesman this month, he won’t take any extended service plan, and it’s going to be very challenging for us.

I want to make more money so that we can afford to travel more.

Going to Australia?

Feb-18-2010 By shoppingmum

SIL suggested that we go to Australia this August, but I’m not sure if we can make it. My first concern is always the kids school fees, if  we have extra money, then it should not be a problem. Hubby is not too keen to travel abroad, at least not this recent years.

We have been controlling our expenditure well, no more fancy meals, no more Murray Feiss, no big cars and etc, just to make our business work and pay for the kids schooling.

I hope that this year will be a better one for us, then traveling to Australia will be possible.

Enough Sunbathing

Feb-17-2010 By shoppingmum

I am very tan now, and I’m worrying about the brown spots on my face. They got worse after 2 long weekends on the beaches, but luckily, I don’t have any outbreak. If not, I would need the best acne medications now!

I am not sure if I have time for laser this week, even if I hope to try my first laser treatment soon. I hope that it works for my spots.

In the mean time, no more beaches for me.

After Koh Chang and Hua Hin

Feb-17-2010 By shoppingmum

I’ve spent 2 long weekends in Koh Chang and Hua Hin respectively, and I’m very tanned now. Photos will be up soon as I haven’t got time to sort time out. Gosh, I can’t believe that I’ve taken so many photos!

After being in the sun so much for days, I really need some wrinkle remover and whitening serum now. It’s so bad for skin, but what to do? I love the beaches!

My Webstore

Jan-22-2010 By shoppingmum

I’ve set up a webstore and did my first biz this morning and it feels so good! Of course, I don’t put much hope in making a lot of money, and I might not even be able to afford dental implants Plano anytime this year, if I do make a profit from this store, but I still feel like giving it a try.

At least I have something to do at the office, despite the normal routine. :)

Just a rant

Jan-16-2010 By shoppingmum

Hubby has finally taken my suggestion of getting some jobs in sales by submitting his resume, but he’s not serious about it. He still wants to work on his biz,which I think it’s too slow to grow. I really wish that he can get a stable job, and with a fixed income, he can still pursue his dream of setting up his biz in a foreign land.

Why can’t he be simpler? Just get a high paid job and let the wife be a tai tai? Argh…

My Own Vacation

Jan-14-2010 By shoppingmum

I wonder if it’s possible for me to have a vacation just by myself, without my kids and anyone else. SIL tried this a few times, and she said it’s nice. She could do anything she wanted at her own time, and it made her feel better after a short trip. I do aware of the risk of a lady traveling by herself, that’s why I haven’t done it before!

I’ve been yearning to visit Japan but hubby is not keen at all. Tugging 2 kids along will mean that we will be visiting Disneyland and other kiddie attraction spots, so shopping will be quite hard. I wish that I can go there on my own, there are so many things I want to buy there, such as anti aging skin products, bento stuffs, all those cute gadgets and clothes!

Mm…when will my dream come through?

Happy New Year!

Dec-29-2009 By shoppingmum

I’ve been pretty busy lately, not due to traveling but busy celebrating this holiday season with love ones. I would love to go for another short trip before the new year, but I guess it’s pretty tight and hard to arrange for one.

Maybe we will just count down to the new year by drinking wine and seeing some friends enjoying Black and Mild over new year’s eve dinner. But then, I’m not organizing one. LOL! I would love to be invited that going through all the hassle. :P

Anyway, Happy New Year!
