Hello friends
It's been a while, hasn't it? Over a year, according to the date of my last post. I completely forgot all about having a blog. It's been one hell of a year and I don't much want to go into the details but it's safe to say it was utterly terrible but we've come out of the other side mostly stronger ( Read more... ) -
New washing machine
I think our washing machine is on its last legs. It has started to make some very strange, worrying, noises while it's washing - and the whine when it's spinning definitely sounds like it's about to take off. None of these are regular noises for a washing machine, and I've had this one since before Tae was born so I suspect I'm due for a new one ( Read more... ) -
Mini Me
When she was younger, Tae was very much like her father both in look and personality. I found this very strange since he was not part of her life for very long. It definitely makes you think about the nature vs nurture aspect with regards to behaviour. You always assume a child picks up certain traits from observing them but when she has a ( Read more... ) -
Peace and Quiet
I forget sometimes how much I enjoy a little peace and quiet. Having the house to myself and being able to completely switch off. I don't have to be anyone other than myself. I don't have to be mommmy, I don't have to be a wife and I'm treating myself with a day off so I'm literally just doing nothing and being myself ( Read more... ) -
Reasons I am rich
With all the atrocities happening in the world around us, sometimes it's easy to get bogged down in the fear, the anger, the hatred, the uncertainty. To get so lost in others pain. Sometimes it's important to keep things in perspective ( Read more... ) -
Things that make me irrationally angry!
- People who assume I'm good at maths because I'm Asian
- Getting stuck behind someone who walks really slowly
- Stubbing my toe!
- People who try to talk to me when they can clearly see I'm on the phone
- Illegible CAPTCHA spam filters

Summer Sky Dripping Rhinetstones
One of the things I find that people always seem to be most surprised to learn about me is that I love country music. I don't know if it's because I'm Asian-American, I don't know if it's because I'm from the East coast, I don't know if it's because of my career... whatever the reason people always do a double-take ( Read more... ) -
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
I would readdress the balance, the division of resources and power between everyone, not just the 1 ( Read more... ) -
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done
I quickly wanted to say no until I thought about it. I don’t know if my time ended right now that I’ve done more than I said. Or should I say, I talked about doing things more than I actually did do things. It’s mainly because I seek comfort and predictability. Though I want to be successful, I find myself some times nervous or concerned about ( Read more... ) -
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
The first and most obvious reason why we do things we don’t like is responsibility, and responsibility is quickly followed by necessity. More often than not the obligations and commitments that come with responsibility are not fun or something anyone likes to do, but they are a necessary part of survival. Necessity and responsibility are the ( Read more... )
