What needs to be done?

Simple. Spend at least $300 each month during the promotional period and register for the Little Champions Program and you’re on your way to giving your child one of the most exhilarating experiences of his/her life. For Korea, Standard Chartered’s Korea Little Champions there is a  as well, so there’s no need for Korean kids to fret. Deadline for registering is March 21, 2010, but in the event that you will not be able to beat the deadline, you can still win UEFA branded merchandise comprising sweater, cap and luggage bag. Register while it’s still early and enjoy the league with your child!

I want a more cheerful home so I will be on a mission in the coming weeks. I will try to makeover our home without spending a fortune. I aim to spend as little as possible as my grandma’s birthday is coming up so I want to save some money for her big birthday bash.

Today I went to Spotlight to check out some fabrics and with great ease I collected a few colorful fabrics which screamed “Spring Fever!” and got some other irresistible fabric pieces which I will sew into new tops for moi.

I will make this week new throw pillow covers and if I have enough time, I’ll make some tops for me too. Anyway, the sofas are my top priority. I am looking for a splash of color to brighten those sofas.

We don’t need to paint, buy new furniture, Sylvania light bulbs etc. The room just needs a little lift to have our spirits roar again!

Redecorating doesn’t always mean big! Sometimes even as small as new throw pillows is all you need.

Watch out for the reveal my lovelies!

Highlights on Saturday, 25 April The festivities extend until 9.30pm on Saturday night, as The Melodians (a well-known Peranakan band from Malacca, Malaysia) will entertain the evening crowd (applicable to visitors with the Peranakan Museum admission sticker).

Address: 39 Armenian Street, Singapore 179941
Website: www.peranakanmuseum.sg
Admission Charges: $2 per person

And on Sunday, most probably we would be waking up really late, eat a brunch of scrambled egg with smoked salmon. It would have been picture perfect if I had one of those beautiful wicker outdoor dining sets like the ones you see in lifestyle magazines but we already have this metal garden set so I have to make do with that for now.

After that we will see how it goes… Anyway, I do hope you have a wonderful weekend my lovely readers See you next week!

It has always been like this since I married him because he works for an American company so you would think I should be used to it by now. Well yes and no. There are times when it’s okay but sometimes I do get scared and wish that we had Hidden Camera outside our gate so that I can see who’s out there.

But now that we have moved from the landed house to a condominium, I am not so scared anymore. Nobody can enter our condominium complex without passing through the guards and also one needs to have an electronic key before he/she can enter a building. So it’s really safe!

I can say that the decision was a very good one. We love it here, I am enjoying watching the sunset, seeing lots of greenery because we are near to a park and of course I like the fact that we can use amenities like the gym and swimming pool whenever we want.

Oopps that reminds me, I need to start using the gym.

It hardly fits my wallet…that’s how big it is.

This bird was born two years ago in the garden of the first house we lived in Singapore. I managed to make a close up picture because he or she was still a baby.

This bird reminds me of spring – a new born, a new beginning. Have a great new week guys!!!

Bill of My Piece of Paradise

Oh no not her. She’s great.

I mean my house keys. That’s the problem I have right now…. Damn it! They always do that to me you know!

Who? Keys!

Keys and I just don’t get along very well.  I know that they ( Evil Keys) will always be a part of our life but why don’t they just stick with me…follow me wherever I go!!!

I know I know …I should put my things in one place. I know that already but sometimes in the midst of things I tend to place my stuff somewhere and I do forget where it was.

I remember that we went out to eat dinner to a nearby mall, Parkway Parade.  I don’t think I had it with me on the first time we went out.

Oh by the way, I don’t know if it’s only here in Singapore but there are so many sales going on in the shopping malls right now! I think it’s because lots of companies are in trouble right now. They have too many stocks so now they are offering almost everything half price, sometimes even more.

Hubby got a really good deal on a Sony home theater system…and I saw some really nice discount light fixtures but I will check that out when I am alone. I cannot shop well with hubby – he’s always like in a hurry.

Back to keys …I need to have a system. I am also getting tired of finding things all the time.

I am so tired with all the preparations – packing and the cleaning up and then later on unpacking and cleaning up.

Seriously, I don’t know how you guys do it – having 2,3, 4 or more blogs, kids and other hobbies like scrapping etc.

I really admire bloggers who have a gazillion blogs and still manage to have a life.

Anyway, I will be holding a contest for my birthday next month, if you are interested to sponsor, please hop over to my expat blog for the details.

And if you are talented with designing a logo, I need one for the contest. Please contact me at samcj7 {at} yahoo dot com…that can be your contribution to the contest and you’ll get backlinks too.

So that’s all for now. I wish you guys a wonderful weekend!!!

The last couple of weeks I have been lucky enough to witness several cultural events in Singapore, one of them is  Thaipusam Event  in Singapore.

What? You want more pictures and details on this event? I have them at this post on my expat living blog.
