Upgrading Skills

DH was telling me that one of his friend in Singapore is actually back to studying again to upgrade her skills in the recent recession. Apparently she used to be an Arts student but is now studying Science, fully sponsored by the Government! I was amazed at how flexible the Government was in allowing people to study things that are so diverse but I guess they are trying to improve the country's talent. It's interesting indeed. Maybe someday I can consider joining medical assistant training school!

Best Disneyland

We met up with some friends last weekend for dinner. Two of them studied in US before and were telling us that we should consider going on orlando vacations some time because Disney World there is simply excellent! Apparently no other Disneyland in the world can come close to the original one. Its very tempting indeed but gosh, what a long way to go to the US!

When Am I Moving?

Everyone has been asking me when I'll move down south. Surprisingly, that answer is rather hard to answer as I don't have any definite timeline for the moment. I spent most of today clearing up the house and realised that it'll be a huge headache to move things down. I guess we'll have to call some freight forwarders and I'm not sure how much that will cost. Thank goodness it isn't too far otherwise we might have to call long distance movers instead and I know those are definitely expensive.

Plasma TV

When we bought our plasma TV, we were considering installing plasma mounts to place the TV on the wall to give the place a streamlined look. While it was a nice idea, we later found out that the cost to install a fake wall to hide the mounts was way above our budget. Hence, we opted back for the standard TV cabinet style of TV display. Who knows, maybe someday in my future home I can finally have plasma mounts!

Accident

We were driving back today when we saw an accident happen right in front of our eyes. A taxi crashed into the back of a car and it seemed pretty bad. The taxi's bonnet was dented and I'm sure it'll cost him quite a lot to repair it. However, both parties seemed to be settling it when we drove past. Looks like they would not be needing a Tacoma car accident lawyer to help them settle their problems!

Long Term Acne Solutions

Acne is supposed to be something only teenagers worry about. Well, I don't know whether its hormonal but I get the occasional flare ups which often sends me scurrying for get rid of acne solutions! My skin is really strange. It behaves itself for a while only to flare again and usually before an event I have to attend or a dinner! I wish there was a way to cure it once and for all!

Wedding Display

I attended a wedding with some blogger friends recently and it was really fun! What surprised us during the wedding was how the creative couple managed to create a cardboard display of themselves from their pre-wedding photos! It was really livelike and quite a crowd puller during the cocktail reception. Some guests were even taking photographs with it as if they were celebrities! Hehe..the things people do for their weddings!
