My Dreams, My Thoughts, My Everything

Locked In

2012-02-05T01:01:00.003+10:30

The photo was taken after I finish my work and get inside my car to drive going home. I had a glance on my side when I saw the cute little dog that was locked in alone inside the car. The owner go to supermarket and left the dog alone. I hope he/she won't take long time to shop around and if he is in hurry it's better he'll use the self serve check out barcode scanners for quick shopping. It isn't good for the dog to stay in the car during a hot weather, hope the owner's back as soon as possible.

Gorgeous Isabella

2012-01-26T14:18:00.000+10:30

Isabella, she is only more than 4 months old, so adorable and gorgeous baby of my hubby's friend. I had a catch up with her mum a couple weeks ago at the mall. She was with me in the pram for half an hour I think wondering around the mall while her mum is on the hairdresser for a haircut. She was quiet and not crying while on my company that moment. I've enjoyed her cute smiles, yawning moment and giggles for a short while, love cuddling her.

2012-01-26T10:09:00.000+10:30

What everyone is doing on Australia Day? I bet most are ready preparing a get together of traditional bbq and lots of drink party, kids must be excited to swim in the pool. Precautions to the parents please make sure there is safety pool fence if there is none keep an eye on your kids to avoid accidents.

Health is Wealth

2012-01-22T00:02:00.000+10:30

It’s like two weeks ago that I'm worried about my health, especially with my skin irritation and allergic reaction. Last week, I call sick at work because I’m not feeling well both my ears has a swollen red lump. I was wondering what it was because it’s very unusual lump to grow there, I can feel the aches and soreness. I went to the doctor for check up what’s happening to my ear. I thought something is going on, lucky the doctor says it’s only a pimple and a gland due to my face irritation as well. Hmmm sometimes I don’t really like going to the clinic for medical help and sometimes understanding about medical issues hehe. It’s good nothing much serious , I can still feel a tiny bit of lump but the swelling and soreness were gone in a couple of days only by justtaking antibiotics.

Now, all is good. I hope I'll be in good condition and health wise always. There is nothing I ask special but a good health, as the saying "Health is Wealth".

Busy Life

2012-01-17T21:22:00.000+10:30

Sometimes life can be so busy, especially those parents works full-time but still manage to take care the kids after work and the household chores. Hmmm, it's tough but that's life, it's how we make it and handle the situation.

Just like me, I had two jobs sometimes I don't have much hours but when occasion comes like Easter and Christmas I'm so exhausted. My schedule was so hectic, sometimes most days I've done 12 hours, long day at work. Hubby and I sometimes just buy takeaway food for dinner, if I'll cook at home, I can't be bother to wash the dishes hehehe, tired and lazy lol. It takes 3-4 days sometimes that I can't wash dishes so the plates and cutlery are building up, one day we maybe need to buy bosch dishwashers for convenience that sounds good to me.

Anyway even life is a bit harder sometimes I'm still lucky for all the blessings and great opportunities that comes in the moment which I badly needed them. That's why live life to the fullest, don't complain, everything will be alright.

Freebies

2012-01-12T13:22:00.000+10:30

My friend son’s were addicted in playing xbox games. Sometimes if they get naughty and don’t want to be told off by their mother, she bribe them not to play or turn of the games. If I visit their house I can also witness how good they play the game but sometimes the boys can’t read the instruction so they let me teach them what to do. But by just controlling the remote they were expert on it.

That’s why some days we have some freebies at work and all been put away on the staff room to be taken home. I choose the xbox video games with me, not for me to play but to give to my friend sothat she won’t buy xbox games and save some dollars for in buying.

She was happy when I gave to her the xbox games together with caravan camping travel guide video for her husband reference when they travel in the country side.

Tradition

2012-01-05T22:47:00.000+10:30

It’s been a month or two I haven’t catch up with my mother-in-law due to my busy and long hours shift at work. It's like I've missed her a bit for the period of time I haven’t seen her and heard her voice.

During Christmas it’s our tradition of my hubby to celebrate at his mum’s house. We celebrate the Christmas lunch there, it was a wonderful day to gather and catch up a good chat for the many days we haven't seen her. We had a beautiful lunch and as always I love the dessert she’d made for us. While having a mixed conversation I did mention to MIL that my tooth filling was broken and I was not happy as it was done six months ago only. My MIL advice and recommend me to visit her dentist, telling me how amazing and great the Dentist Jobs that was done to her tooth and to every patient. It’s very inspiring and gives me motivation to change my dentist to her dentist, might do that.

Sometimes, it’s really nice to have a great interaction and to share thoughts and opinion to someone, you might not follow them but it’s nice to listen and learn from everyone’s experience.

Anyway we had a fantastic lunch, we’ve got a bbq grill cover and more chocolates from in-laws, and of course being with the family to celebrate the birth of Jesus was the spirit of the day.

NZ hotels for rugby games in Wellington and Christchurch

2012-01-02T09:31:00.001+10:30

It’s New Year, a new life, a new beginning and a new start to plan what to do for a better life. Do you have a new plan in the New Year? Maybe not yet or our minds are still occupy from the busy life before the new year. But me I’ve already had a plan, how and when to spend my next holiday for the year. I won't tell you yet, surprise!!

But hey, I have a friend and their family who loves rugby sports, they might go to New Zealand which is not too far her in Australia. They're going to watch the rugby union games live from the arena, I’ve heard from him there is a cheaper New Zealand Hotels and accommodation for fans, that’s a great idea and an easy find where hotel to stay around Wellington and Christchurch. I can now imagine how fun would it and a nice short holiday treat for his family. Hope they will really make it this year.

I’ve seen a few photos and heard it’s a beautiful place from my friends who had their visit a ages ago. I haven’t seen a live sports game on arena like rugby, football and others, I wouldn’t mind to watch it live one day. It would be fun and exciting.

Men's gift Idea

2011-12-28T14:56:00.000+10:30

Christmas is over but new year is now couple days after. What gifts you’ve got on Christmas? I bet you’d received a few, it’s feels good to receive but what's the best feeling is to give. I don’t get much and I’m fine (huhu)well it’s just right because I don’t have many family around here, as long as I’m loved by my hubby and had lovely in-laws that is an important and the best gift to me.

As I was so busy at my two jobs I'm still lucky to rush on the last hour to find some gifts, but haven’t found one for my hubby before Christmas. I sometimes don’t know what to give to him (lol), he knows even there is no occasion I always surprise him with something when I was out shopping. So it’s not really a big deal, I was late to think of the mens office gifts idea which is suppose a good one because it’s something I can get as personalised gift for him. Oh well it might be in the New Year, I was planning to replace the beer mug which I bought him before but unfortunately was broken the other day because it fell on the floor. These beer mugs in the photo is really the same as what he has, he don’t use it for beer but for his iced coffee milk drinking. I might order online for him, might not able to reach till new year though. he'll be fine.

Sentimental Value

2011-12-12T21:18:00.001+10:30

The other week I’ve remember a thing which my mother-in-law gave to us. It’s an antique silver coins, some were octagon and round shape, I forgot were I've kept it. The other night I was searching for it but I can’t find quickly, until I browse every stuff I’m not using for so long on the spare bedroom and was lucky I’ve found it there.

Do you know why I’m looking for it? Is it because there is an online shop I’ve found that buy and sell silver rounds and other antique coins. I was curious if the silver coins my MIL gave to us have value. I can make money from it (lol) of course even it has value I won’t sell it. I’ll keep it forever because it has a sentimental value to me and my hubby especially it’s also came from her parents collections.

So now, I keep and hide it on a safe place were I can easily find it.

Factory Building

2011-11-17T23:45:00.001+10:30

The photo was taken from the car park of Melrose Park shopping center during our visit in furniture and bedding shop. The background looks like a factory building across the road.

It's really fun and enjoyable having to capture some nice photos of the sky from the car park, aside from beaches or country side that's one of the great spot to view the whole beauty of the sky. It's been how many times I've noticed theses days I've got my sky photos from different car parks, hmm it means I went shopping often, not very good. It's my retail therapy only hehe

Impulse Buying

2011-11-17T10:37:00.001+10:30

These days my mind is busy thinking of many things, if I like to make things happen I really do it, if it's just possible and affordable to our pocket. A couple of weeks ago I was busy with home improvements, decorating the house with floral arrangement, additional Christmas decor, displaying decorative candles, changing table cloth, old curtains to new ones that feels refreshing to the eyes and bright and light color for summer.

The last week I like gardening, I have succulent plants that is growing so healthy and wider so I cut some of them to plant in a new pot. Hubby and I went to Bunnings to buy some pots, also we browse on garden signs and address plaques section, the signs were cute. I also found an indoor plants called Peace Lily so I bought two of them to decorate inside the house corner. Sometimes I can't control myself if I like something especially for the house.

I've spent some money this past months I think even it's not on the budget but still I'm happy with the outcome of the improvement in the house and the garden looks cheerful and happy. At least I'm not shopping much for myself now, it's all for the household. I was thinking maybe that's what my mind will think next, to shop for myself.hehe

Entertainment Lounge

2011-11-15T16:06:00.001+10:30

This photo was taken from a furniture and bedding shop when we are doing the canvas of entertainment lounge. There are some inexpensive one that looks good only but the quality doesn't seem to be promising for a long duration. My hubby really likes the recliners type of lounge that has a bottle holder and snack storage, it's really good quality, comfortable, relaxing and very handy especially if we're watching movie at home. He likes it so much that he somehow wants to stay there and had a short nap. I told him to follow me to browse around on other stuff, but he won't stand up. I told him ok, pretend your sleeping there and I'll take you photos hahaha. He is obedient always and he knows what I will do with the photo.

While browsing around I found some interesting furniture, like also lounges, tables with arrangements and others. On the other hand it's my hubby's turn to play with me when we were browsing around kids section. We saw this cute outdoor table and chairs with umbrella rack and told me it's cute, and want me to sit so he'll be the one to take photo of me, I suppose going to refuse but I thought infairness to him I just sit in the kids outdoor table. hehe I think we had fun browsing around and admiring the home decor designs.

Skin care

2011-11-13T22:57:00.001+10:30

Due to my facial issues and concern sometimes I don't know what's the best solution for it. I've followed the doctor's advice of what cleanser and moisturizer to use daily but it's still the same. I was not able to go to dermatologist yet until now because I thought it will do well when I start using doctor's recommended skincare. If I'm going to specialist I bet they will be a big help to me, only I need to prepare for the charges and maintenance of the products they will recommend. I've been researching for some products of dermatogist before and it seem they cost a bit compare to the commercial skin care products in most shops I was now tempted to use pure fiji products, I've heard they're affordable and have positive response on skin care problem to the people.

I was just hoping that it wont' irritate often and won't give me annoyance every now and then.

Granite Island, Victor Harbor

2011-11-10T09:50:00.003+10:30

These photo was taken at Granite Island is one of the most popular attractions at Victor harbor especially the penguin tour during dusk at night guided by a professional trained person to view the penguins after they come ashore after a days fishing. Hubby and I had a penguin tour a couple of years ago at night together with a few tourist, sometimes it depends on the season also. That night we are lucky to see some penguins but hardly to spot them clearly because they're hiding on their burrow. It was a great experience we've been joining in a group of people being guided by the tour who shared all the scientific knowledge about penguin. Their natural habitats, interpretation of behaviors and adaptation of being a charismatic creatures.

At the end of the bridge you can first see the granite island sign

My hubby's photo on the big rocks located at the end right side of the bridge where you can see on the 3rd photo

A long bridge going to granite island, sometimes people ride on a horse tram to get through the island as it's a bit of long walk to reach the end side of the island where the penguin tour begins at night, I've posted this photo long time ago but this might help describe the place going to the Island.

Gift Giving

2011-11-05T23:03:00.000+10:30

It’s more than a month from now on and Christmas is approaching. What do you expect if it’s Christmas time? I think the majority are expecting of exchange gift with their family and friends, I assume that would be the first thing in the mind of everyone. Thinking about gifts, sometimes I can observe that couples are having hard time to find what to give to their partners, like I do sometimes.

Well to the guys, if you’re looking for a gift for your partner that’s not a problem. While having a lovely conversation with her, ask what she likes but don’t be too obvious only or ask your girlfriend friends to have an idea of something to give, they might know it. Also the best way to buy is visit online shop you can see many selection of gifts featured for girls thing only. I'm sure you can find the unusual girlfriend gift ideas there, it would be very helpful and you can really select the lovely and unique gift for her, sometime you'll be very lucky too, to get a huge bargain discount compare to others.

Anyway, Christmas is not all about gift giving, it's about sharing and giving love to one another that would be the essence of real Christmas, it should be always in our heart. The exchange gift is just a spice and commercialize on the season. But of course, it's really nice to receive a gift though. haha

Have you start buying Christmas gift? I haven't yet....

St. Andrew's by the Sea

2011-11-03T23:39:00.001+10:30

This photo was a Uniting Church of St. Andrew's by the Sea located at Jetty Road, Glenelg Beach. By posting this photos I just realize I was on the wrong side of the street. We did park just after the church building going towards Moseley Square to the beach, I never thought of going backwards while taking photos, my bad. It's how many times I've been to Glenelg but haven't thought of this church. I maybe side track always of other things that surrounds the area, especially dogs and recreational activities that always present.

Wooden Sticks Model House

2011-11-02T22:40:00.004+10:30

I hope I don't over bored you with the series of photos I've got from Handorf Village, I wish it would be the last and I won't find any interesting photos on my album next time. These photos were taken from the exhibit room of German Museum but I think they display some different Australian history of Arts and Crafts as well.

When we are inside I was busy taking photos so I forgot to read the history or how some of these made from except for the first photo of the wooden sticks model house.

Looks like aboriginal design plates and etc.

Well Motivated

2011-11-01T20:45:00.001+10:30

I feel like I'm well motivated and inspired these days, especially to update my blogs. It's been a couple of months since I was not very active nor participating in daily photo memes. Of course there are some reason for all of that, I become busy with my two jobs, I came home tired and sometimes my brain won't work and lazy to think on posting beside having 3 blogsite is very hard to maintain hehe and lastly I was on a month holiday around May-June.

I've missed those days before I'd loved to post everyday, go out for photo taking feeling like I'm a professional photographer like most blogger here but I knew I'm not, hehe It's just a great feeling and inspiring hobby to blog as well as photo taking. I have grown to love nature and admire simple things around us. I remember sometimes I'm waiting the time when Mr. Linky is up sothat I'll be the first to submit my entry, it makes me laugh that sometimes it's almost midnight or I put an alarm to wake up lol, then my hubby will suddenly wake up and ask what I'm doing haha. That was my funny side, I was lucky to be the first sometimes, I feel happy at least it's a big effort of me. hehe

Now, I feel to keep doing this motivation behavior, I hope I can continue updating, don't spend much time on facebook but instead in blogging to write about everything I've experienced in my life and share what's going on in the society, be active to participate on photo memes and be able to visit most bloggers around the world.
