I love weekends like this

it's been a good weekend.

Taking the kids to national library, blowing little space bubbles for them, watching them jump in that air filled playground, playing snake and ladder with my oldest pal, watching the kids do art and craft, holding little hands, chatting to them as journeyed to and fro.

And then today, was with TC clan planning how to go about "torturing" the groom and his buddies when they are going to pick evie up next week. And it's back... first extended family gathering in the new place. I like the feel of it, everyone laughing over a good meal, sharing views on places to go, tips of what to do when we go hongkong, giving comments on our rooms.

It's been a good weekend.

When you wish upon a star

1) harry potter
2) pirates of the carribean
3) alittle macbeth
4) romance

It fits my bill!=)

The equilibrium state of men and women

i know i should be returning this to my sister, but while she hasnt come bothering me yet, i tot i could just squeeze in one more post.

was reading some blog entries of people i dont know personally and it's ironic to note how these "strangers" actually invade my thoughts more often than close ones around me.

The topic of interest: Men and women.
Girl's point of view. Boy's point of view.
Started ever since Adam and Eve? Ancient topic but never fail to spur the interest or spark off a friendly debate.

Why are we so different?
OR,

Do we think we are different because we are brought up to think that we are?

Why do books, articles, movies, media always make us all unsatisfied with the counterpart?

Why are men unsatisfied with what they have?
And why are women unsatisfied with what they have? or have not?

It's so typical. Confronted with a situation of unsatisfied needs, men are sterotyped to do "out-sourcing". *in today industrial terms*. In the case of women, we are stereotyped to re-enforced what wewant, some nag (soft approach), some kick up a tantrum, breaking up (hard approach), some resorted to crying and breaking down (last approach) to get what they want.

It's like if we were to use economic terms.(gee, sister came in to ask if' i'm done, gotta summarise).

Guys get the desired quantity by increasing the supply ( increasing the odds of getting what they want, out-sourcing if they fail to get it from one)

Ladies get the desired wishes by adjusting their demands on guys. They do realize, it comes a point, if they were to increase their expectations (hence increasing the demand), they are unable to get the equilibrium state (negotation point). And beyond this point, (if guys should choose to leave and not compromise), they will be "left" in an unstable "market" state.

(point to note, the inverse can happen)


It's becomes a give and take situation.


alright gotta go... sister rushing me. i cant finish.

What i was up to exactly one year ago

i was looking through my mobile to upload some pictures of evie's hen party to my lappie when i noticed last year on 11 nov i took pictures... and guess where?



I was with the girls at sentosa attending angela's mum company family day event. We played twister at sentosa much to the amazement or rather amusment of others who took refuge in one of the shelters as the weather wasnt really helpful.



Evident of our fun.

*blue-toothing to lappie*

That's vonnie on twister. looking good..."Oh... Twist again, like we did last sunmmer... oooooooo"
Me on bungee... mini scale. looking so happy... oh, the calm before the storm. I was yelling my head out when i was being shot up.

first sunday at new place.

Sunday afternoon

It's so nice all sprawled across my queen size bed blogging on this nice (not too hot, not too cold that i rather snuggle in bed) kinda afternoon.

i finally got hold of my lappie after my late breakfast. Caught up with my friends' blog. Said hi to a couple of friends online and now just filtering, cleaning up the photos on my memory card.

i have like taken over hundreds plus photos over the past one month and i have yet to compile, upload them yet.

Spent last weekend with the girls at Batam and it was good fun.

With me taking my camera almost everywhere over the last month, it was awfully depressing to note, i left home without it yesterday when i met the girls for eve's hen party.

I love technology. I am transferring photos of last night from my mobile to my lappie as we speak. Sweet.

At the same time i'm uploading photos from my memory card to flickr. darn, i exhausted my usage for the month with just one upload.

********

Anyway, i have so many things i want to update, by the time i managed to secure a spot on my lappie and on blogger after (reading others' blog), one sibling would come to me and ask if i'm finished. Darn.

so, just let me jot down the things i like to update
1) Hanwen's birthday
2) my dinner and dance
3) my new room
4) my new house for the matter
5) my batam weekend trip (wakeboard + spa)
6) evie's hen night party (yesterday)
7) Me spending 2 1/2 hours in orchard alone reading story book and drinking coffee @ coffee bean yesterday
8) my plan to save lotsa money
9) girls'planning trip to france and greece next year

Before i go, let me just upload one picture i taken before i started using the lappie this afternoon. My first sunday spent at home. (last weekend was spent at batam)

My lappie on my bed with my comforter in my new room on the first sunday afternoon. Letting some sun in.
