7 Random Things About Me
1. I've been here in Singapore since 1998 - that makes it 8 years this year!
2. I'm named after Jaime Sommers, the Bionic Woman, a popular series back in the 1970s. Thus the unique spelling.
3. I lost my two front teeth during the Christmas season when I was 6 or 7, and I won consolation prize in the Little Miss-ing 2 Front Tooth held in my neighbourhood back in KL. The prize was a box of toothpaste and a toothbrush. How ironic...
4. My dad is 1/4 Siamese. His grandma, my great grandma was from Thailand. That makes me 1/8 Siamese! Sawadee-ka!
5. I nearly got into a fight with a good friend when I was 8, just because she said that Santa does'nt exist. Mum have to tell me the truth when things got out of hand.. I was heartbroken...
6. Nearly everyone in my family (a whole lot of uncles, aunts and cousins) don't know my actual name. I'm known to them as Ah-Girl for far too long.
7. I was the one who chose my sister's name, Jolene. It was a toss between Jolene and Jasmine. Seeing her now, Jasmine is so not her..

Our Home..

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. I've been busy... enjoying life.. living in our own home..
Hubby's been a bad influence, everyday you see him come home from work, have his dinner, then starts his nua-ing.. so naturally.. I'll be there nua-ing with him..
Anna's been a bad influence too.. when she's around, both of us will be glued to the tube watching Hong Kong drama serials..
Dave's been a bad influence... his laid back attitude makes you just wanna lay back and enjoy....
Therefore... boxes are still laying around the house.. stuffs and clothes still unpack even as I'm here typing...... yupz.. I'm enjoying staying in our very own home... It's been a great, the last one month.

Some updates on the house:





The dining hall.

Recognize this? The original shoe cabinet and seatee left by the previous owner. After some cleaning up and relaminate by yours truly, and lo and behold.. it looks as good as new and totally fits in the new interior. Umbrella stand's a gift from my mum.. umbrella collections are Giordano exclusives.. collected over the years by me and Anna... there would be more if I didn't loose an umbrella everytime I bring one out...

The before photo of the shoe cabinet.

My digital piano next to the dining table.


The hall and our new sofa set. Nobody spends any time at the hall at all for now.. Well, the tv's in the study. The computer's in the study, the x-box's in the study.. you get the picture.

So much for now. The rest of the places needs some cleaning up first. Will update soon.

We've some new additions to our family....

Introducing...

Hammy, Hammie and Hammi. Anna's babies. Cute.. but all they do is sleep, eat and run on the wheel.

Hammy....... (or Hammie.... or Hammi...) taking a break from his exercise.

And not forgetting:

Tanny (left) and Piggy. Hubby brings Tanny out and I'll bring Piggy. Tanny's so like Hubby.. lol..

Oh and an update on Hubby's sauerkraut. Read about it here. It's day 5 of the fermentation. It looks totally gross...
