Such a fun movie! And why does Pierce Brosnan look cuter as he grows older? That should be a crime.

Not Good Enough
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008A friend told me recently of a young mother who was trying to explain her father’s death to her 4-year-old. The girl wondered where Grandpa was. “I’m sure he’s in heaven,” the mother answered, “because he was very good.” The girl replied sadly, “I guess I won’t be in heaven.” “Why not?” her mother asked [...]

Back From Malaysia
Sunday, September 21st, 2008
So, I was away in Malaysia this weekend for my grandmother’s 80th birthday. The 5 hours drive up both ways were uneventful, except for the fact that having 3 drivers in the car meant that there were ALWAYS back seat drivers.
I’ve not been back in Malaysia for 4 years I think. Might be more. Most [...]

The World As We Know It
Monday, September 15th, 2008Before you view the following video, let me say a disclaimer. I know many wonderful, smart, intelligent, world-wise, knowledgeable Americans and I do not mean any malice.
However, in my few years in the US, I’ve met a fair share of Americans who knew very little about the world. That was humorous sometimes, frustrating the other [...]
No wonder Palin looked familiar…
Monday, September 15th, 2008She looked like Tina Fey!!! Now I see the resemblance, especially after the Saturday Night Life Premiere. Wohoo! Funny. You have to watch. The “I can see Russia from my house” is so ridiculous, its hilarious! Even more hilarious because Palin actually SAID that. I think she’s regretting that.
Anyhoo, enjoy!

Major Makeover!
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008A month ago, I decided to get a customised design for my blog to meet my multiple wants. While I could have easily designed it myself, the wordpress coding and css would have given me a massive headache… and taken forever.
