I missed going to New York a couple of times simply because the timing wasn’t right. Back then, my college roommate and I were planning to catch the cheap flight to go see the Big Apple.
I think we worked ourselves up to the extent that we really thought we were going to make it. But [...]

The school holidays are here finally. Thank goodness for the break. School days are crazy and have gotten even more hectic of late.
I didn’t even have time to plan for a holiday. Well, the thought did occur to me but I just never got around to it.
I hear the Matta fair or something is/was going [...]

Everyone knows I’m not a big fan of the sun. The sea and sand, yes but not the sun! Being in direct sunlight for too long gives me a migraine so I try to stay out of the sun as much as I can, even if I’m on a beach vacation.

Pretty soon, it’s going to be wedding season again and there’ll be a mad scramble for us to go shopping. My cousin’s daughter will be getting married at the end of the year and already I can sense that their entire household is abuzz with plans for the wedding reception and honeymoon vacation.
Of course, everything [...]

Some days, you just sit there minding your own business and people just won’t leave you alone. Ever had days like that?
Well, I was sitting in my car waiting for my son outside his college and a speeding tin can of a car comes speeding down the road and nicks my sideview mirror.
I looked up [...]

One of the guys I used to work with had a yellow BMW. It’d been his dream car since he was a kid. So as soon as he’d saved enough money, he went out and bought himself a secondhand BMW.
Then he spent the next couple of years refurbishing it in his free time whenever he [...]

I don’t know about you but as soon as I get out of the airport at a new country, I like to know that I’m going to get safely to my hotel especially if I’m traveling with kids. If I was going on business travel, I always made sure I arranged for someone to pick [...]

My dad and his old cronies were out shopping when their car got hit from behind while they were double-parked and waiting outside a row of shops.
The driver of the other car was doubtless a P (probationary) driver who happened to be gazing happily skywards when he ran into their car.
Thank goodness none of the [...]

I was blogging in my car just now while waiting for my daughter at her tutor’s house. It’s a pretty new experience for me because I usually drop her off and pick her up later.
But now I have to try and save gas. So I practically had to set up my laptop in the backseat [...]
