All About The Memories http://purplecolourz.com Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:43:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 iPad http://purplecolourz.com/?p=2240 http://purplecolourz.com/?p=2240#comments Thu, 04 Feb 2010 09:28:18 +0000 iamjacq http://purplecolourz.com/?p=2240 ipad

I was one of the thousands of people who watched the unveiling of the iPad. I thought it is a cool new gadget, different from the usual laptops and has a lot of useful features. I especially love the ibooks app, ohhh the virtual bookshelf looks really nice. I just wish the ebooks we’re cheaper though, I can’t even buy the Twilight series because the price starts from $9.99 to $19.99 for each ebook (yeah I love Twilight but no I won’t spend that kind of money on ebooks thank you very much). Anyway back to iPad, I think the price is reasonable and I would buy one if I have the budget (which unfortunately I don’t, lol) when it becomes available to the public.

I remember being at the library during recess when I was in third grade, I loved dinosaurs back then (lol). Now that I’m a mom I try to encourage my daughter to love books as well, we visit the library a few times a week and I let her browse as much books as she likes. I buy her storybooks too, she’s always happy to go to the bookstore whenever we’re at the mall. At home she would sit by herself with a book or two and just quietly browse the pages. She’s such a sweet girl, I hope she’ll learn to love books like I did.

I don’t know if my husband is still thinking about ideal gifts for her since we already got me an iphone so I’m not expecting anything (but still hoping to get something, lol). He’s been known to surprise me when he give gifts when I’m not expecting anything, it’s not the gift that I appreciate more though it’s the thought he put into it. He could give me a nice birthday/anniversary card and I would just love all the same, being married for a couple of years now it’s still nice to be surprised and giggle like the seventeen year old I was when we first met.

Hubby got off from this training early so we went to Courts hoping to find a cheap dock entertainment system for my phone. Their restaurant was closed but there was a Subway branch on the electronics section so we decided to just have dinner there. Let me just say that my new favorite is tuna in wheat bread with all the veggies and sweet onion dressing. It’s a cheap option but oh so yummy, I love it and I’m definitely going back to Subway next week. Since Chinese New Year is just around the corner there’s a lot of sales going on and I take this opportunity to do some shopping. I got us new sets of bedsheets (one for ours and one for Iyah’s bed) and we finally found a cheap dock system, yay!

My little girl started going to preschool this year and she’s doing so well and this is why I have been MIA here. I don’t even feel like comparing term life insurance quotes online and this is something I should have done last week. I’m not complaining because I’ve been spending time with my daughter talking about all the things she’s doing at school, reading to her and practicing strokes on her workbooks and I enjoy doing these things with her, I just wished that there’s more hours in a day. I can’t keep up with all the things I want to do because I’m focused on her, it’s not a bad thing but I would like to do other things too like say scrap more (which I haven’t been doing regularly as well). I need to manage my time better I guess, we’ll see how that goes.

Quite frankly I don’t know if I’ll believe any of the weight loss stories of the people on the ads, who knows if it’s real or just edited to make the person have a slim figure. Some of the before and after photos look unreal to me but who knows maybe I’m just skeptic about spending money on these places (not that I would anyway).

I was expecting Avatar to win awards seeing it was a huge blockbuster and I wasn’t disappointed. Of course like any awards night, the women of hollywood graced the red carpet wearing their best designer gowns and bling bling. I think Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz and Rose Bryne looked wonderful while Anna Paquin looked horrible. I must say all the stars’ makeup are great, they don’t seem to need any acne lotion with just how flawless their faces looked on TV (I must learn the basics of concealing eye bags). Overall I think the show was great. It was quite dragging of course with the advertisements but we enjoyed watching it.

]]> http://purplecolourz.com/?feed=rss2&p=2226 0 What’s for lunch? http://purplecolourz.com/?p=2224 http://purplecolourz.com/?p=2224#comments Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:03:39 +0000 iamjacq http://purplecolourz.com/?p=2224
This was our lunch today. Breaded chicken with buttered mix vegetables with rice. I wasn’t really planning on cooking for lunch today but since hubby stayed until lunch time I prepared this simple dish for us (thanks to Joy for the recipe link). It turned out quite well, I’ll definitely add this to my list of recipes and maybe try it with something else next time. It can be hard to plan for family meals when you’re the cooking everyday, I only have a handful of tried and tested recipes so sometimes it can get a bit boring (thank goodness for a sushi place nearby). I’m going to try to cook more this year and I’m always on the look out for easy to prepare recipes, let me know if you have a few that you won’t mind sharing :)

They have different topics each day from 10 Tips to cut carb cravings, celebrity scandals to beauty products like wrinkle cream and a lot more, I end up reading most of the articles myself. I am most interested to topics about marriage, housekeeping and health but I find celebrity gossip worth reading too. A little reading while I’m taking my morning coffee is always nice…

Well I don’t really do resolutions anymore because I fail miserably so I just told her that I plan to save more this year. I’m cutting down on shopping online and try to save as much for something we’re planning to have this year. I don’t need to have a personal budget software because I know where my paypal money goes and if I transfer funds to my bank account as soon as I get paid I won’t be tempted to use it for shopping.
