He 039 s a cool enough dude. I mean, he 039 s sending me pics of him with his kids and asking if we 039 d be interested in joining them it 039 s a strange way to set up a play date I see it as conversation, although Enfant... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922935-shhh.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922934-for-the-record.html Mon, 25 Mar 2019 10:27:00 +08 Have I told you about my 2 kids I have 2 kids now.

I can 039 t imagine the pressure. I also wanted to make a crack about how a woman shouldn 039 t have to have a marathon labor just because she 039 s the world 039 s premier ultra runner,... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922933-new-life.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922932-minefield.html Tue, 19 Mar 2019 23:18:00 +08 Today, I asked Enfant Terrible what I now realise was a loaded question quot Do you think you and your mum will ever be able to have a normal conversation quot And he shot back with quot What makes you think you and your mum have such normal conversations quot Touch I guess what I meant was is it possible for... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922932-minefield.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922931-stuffed.html Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:25:00 +08 I spent most of Saturday following a Twitter thread on a nasi kandar jaunt in Penang. I 039 m not sure if quot epic quot is the right word for it, but the 5 dudes had 11 ELEVEN meals in a single day. I don 039 t know what time they started, but they stumbled back to their accommodation at about 1 AM, stuffed to... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922931-stuffed.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922930-instructions.html Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:14:00 +08 How to get that hotel room smell in your own room I know...

It was simple and filling and you had only yourself to blame if you didn 039 t like what was in the... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922928-breakfast.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922927-baleet.html Fri, 28 Sep 2018 16:36:00 +08 I didn 039 t realise how freeing it 039 d be to just delete a draft from my dashboard here. It had sat there so long I 039 d forgotten the context in which it was begun. Well, that 039 s not true. It was about soap. So trivial But I like soap. Or I like the idea that using a soap will see a brand new me emerging... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922927-baleet.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922926-dreaming.html Wed, 26 Sep 2018 17:14:00 +08 I don 039 t think I 039 ve ever written about when I was in my last year of secondary school, i.e., Form 5, and had no idea what I 039 d do afterwards. Everyone seemed to have a plan or knew what they 039 d study after Form 6. Most of it seemed to involve studying accounting in Australia and or working there. In fact,... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922926-dreaming.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922925-breakfast-oatmeal-cookie-bleh.html Tue, 18 Sep 2018 17:57:00 +08 I made a breakfast cookie today. It was nice but not something I 039 d rave about. I suspect that 039 s why the recipe and other similar recipes call for toppings like nut butters and jam and fruit and whatnot it 039 s to hide the fact that anything made with oatmeal and a scant stingy, some might say half... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922925-breakfast-oatmeal-cookie-bleh.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922924-perfect-snack.html Tue, 01 May 2018 22:15:00 +08 I made chocolate bark the other day.

Also the time taken for you to have a bite of banana muffin and for your kid to spill her strawberry yogurt drink on... https://www.blogged.my/ping-922923-split-second.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922922-sweet.html Thu, 15 Mar 2018 22:26:00 +08 I dreamt that I was Idris Elba. The complete and utter self assurance of just being in quot my quot own skin was amazing. I want to be like that in real life but the feeling is fading too quickly. https://www.blogged.my/ping-922922-sweet.html https://www.blogged.my/ping-922921-decluttering-snag.html Sun, 11 Mar 2018 14:00:00 +08 I bought into the whole minimalism thing and have been psyching myself up to clear clutter from my house. Although I might not have 20 years 039 worth of junk, I 039 m still loathe to let go of all the clothes I haven 039 t worn in years and will never wear again because they are ugly or don 039 t fit .

It goes like this Apples peeled if the skin tastes bad , cored, and quartered. Enough water to just cover them after you 039 ve placed them in a pot.

It 039 s an itchy red rash around your mouth area and it makes you look like a damn slob. Not everyone gets it, and treatment varies from antibiotics to dermatological medications.
