Today, Mama and I came across a “fish spa” thingy in a shopping centre…

I’ve seen this type of thing numerous times – but my Hupps would never join me, as he has super duper sensitive feet and because I’m scared of these things (live fish, even dead fish and slimy stuff) and I find it intensely gross – I always chickened out!

Well, Mama was up for it – so I thought why not!

I tell you what – It’s super duper scary!! I put my feet in the water with all these nibbling fishes… It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gross!!! Firstly, it feels like pin and needles when the fish all rush to your feet and nibble away, then it feels like bubbles from a spa touching your feet… I only had a 10 min treatment, but for the whole time I was on edge… so tense!!! I couldn’t even look at my feet cos there was so many attached to my feet/legs (more than Mamas!) – the whole idea of it just made me feel all itchy and goosebumpy – I mean, do I really have that much dead skin?!?!?!

They are supposed to nibble on dead skin compared to healthier skin giving softer and smoother skin… (I must admit, my feet did look fab after the treatment!! Would I go again?!?! Maybe… but only for feet vanity!!! Although very entertaining, but for me, very scary!!! I recommend going as a group cos it’s real funny watching your frens squirm and squeal!!

Recently, I’ve been finding it hard to keep carrying Chloe… She’s growing steadily and getting heavier… She loves the attention and she tends to love a good cuddle whilst dropping off for her naps or sleep.. But my arms couldn’t take it any longer – the holding her and rocking her and standing up – it’s far too tiring, and bad for my back… So DnA came up with a good idea…

We bought a battery operated musical swinging chair!!! So far, everytime we’ve put her in it, playing the music whilst the chair swings, she’s happily fallen asleep (*touch wood*)! Yay!!! So, this chair is simply for swinging her to sleep!

Like the song goes:
“I don’t wanna close my eyes, I don’t wanna fall asleep, cos I’d miss you, babe and I don’t wanna miss a thing…”

Do I need a GPS tracking watch?

GPS tracking watches can help you to track your distance and your speed when you are training to run a marathon, doing a triathlon or even just for a casual hike.

The advantages of having a GPS tracking function on a watch allows you to track your performance and feedback to you whether your training is effective or not.

So now, as you might have found out that I am trying to train for my IPPT, and I am trying to get Gold award for the cash reward (to give to my wife), I have been thinking of getting a digital watch that does heart rate, countdown timer. With just these 2 functions, I can train better for my IPPT 2.4km run, and I can get a Timex for about $60. But I also have intentions of running a mini triathlon and maybe half marathon in the future, so I was thinking, do I need GPS function on my watch?

What do you think?

Thank you to all that attended and thank you for all the gifts, money and well wishes…

Today, I thought Chloe looked really fab in her polka dot dress with matching head gear! I so lurved it! How I miss mingling and having parties/events… When I have more time, I will surely be organising more events! So until then, here are some pics… Wished I had taken more pics, but so totally forgot!!! oops!!!

We’ve got more cows in our lives!!

Chloe’s Moo Moo, Baby Moo Moo, T-shirt Moo Moo and herself (cos she’s born in the year of the cow or should I say Ox)!

I know this sounds bad and evil and scary, but I did dream that I killed a lot of people 2 nights ago.

The scenario was: The country is at war with our neighbour country. And the enemies are rushing to the frontline, on our land. Our commanding officer, was giving a motivational speech at the beginning, and was telling us that we must be ruthless towards our enemy, and this could be our last battle, the make it or break it type.

Not long after he finished the speech, we (the fighting contigent) started to charge towards the bridge that separates us from the enemy. As I was climbing up the top of the bridge, I could see hundreds of enemies charging in our direction and they were all wearing the black silat attire. In my view I could see some familar faces from Commando Battalion, bravely fighting against our enemy. Surprisingly, they were all fighting unarmed, all except me, I was shooting from my pistol. I was just shooting every unfamilar faces I see in my view, headshots most of the time. It was quite real and I was feeling the war atmosphere. I was killing every opposition I see and reloading my gun very quickly. That is because there is a sense of fear in me that I will be dead if the enemy are not dead. I want to see my family again.

So the shooting went on and on, I shot teens, women and men who were posing a threat to me. It wasn’t a great scene in my opinion but the shooting continues as my survival instinct keeps reminding me, their death is better than my death.

After about 5 mins (real time – seems like 30mins in the dream), the battle was won. We won that critical battle. But no one was smiling or laughing, because we all are losers. A few of us including myself broke down in tears, thinking why do we need to resort to such situation.

Then I woke up and I was glad that my wife and baby are sleeping next to me. Then 2 words suddenly appear in my mind, and I see it with a different perspective. “National Service”
