Our place was affected by the blackout last nite. From where we were on the 18th floor, the view of the Upper Thomson all the way up to Ang Mo Kio area was all pitch black ( Read more... )

Emily is going through her why phase now. Every comment or question posted to her warrants a why from her. Arghhhh! Did I go through this phase myself and drove my mom crazy too? I am sure I did.

I am also finding myself less patient with her over the why episodes and it is really evident from my tone of voice ( Read more... )

Does anyone know how to enlarge the pictures from Photobucket?

The engineer whom I work closely with actually defended us in a number of instances in front of his boss and I thank him for that. Really glad that this is out of the way for this ( Read more... )

It's silver week at Julia Gabriel next week and we are supposed to go to class dressed in something silver. I rummaged through Emily's and my warbrobe last night, no silver in sight. I think I will have to crack my brain and come up with something DIY, and I am not at all good at this kind of stuff. Any ideas?
