About two weeks ago, Troy and I opened a new bank/saving account just for the purpose of saving up for a digital SLR camera. The guy who was opening the account for us was a bald guy who kind of reminded me of Howie Mandel. Apparently he hadn’t met too many married couples where the…… Continue reading Firda’s Camera Fund

We came home from our trip to the Bruce Peninsula to a freezing apartment on Sunday. The indoor temperature was 15°C and that night the outdoor temperature fell down to 0°C. Troy called the evil landlord and asked him to turn on the central heating (the tenants have no access to it). It’s two days…… Continue reading We’re Living in a Fridge

Unlucky day, you say? Well, my cute little nephew in Indonesia turns 4 years old today. That can’t be unlucky.

I don’t know if my mother had ever had any samosas in her life, but I know she would’ve liked it. To mark her 63rd birthday, I’ve decided…… Continue reading Birthday In Absentia

— I’ve never been in an ambulance until last Monday. I sat in the front seat. Would’ve been cool if it was only a joyride and not because your better half is in an excruciating pain. — I’m still trying to figure out how to make it to the hospital by bus in the shortest…… Continue reading Can I just say “Untitled”?

Why I haven’t been updating this wee blog. I’m physically and emotionally drained. And I have tonnes of laundry to do. 🙁
